The west London club were knocked out of the Uefa Champions League semi-finals 3-1 on aggregate by La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night and now the self-styled Special One is said to be determined to rebuild his team when the summer transfer window reopens for business.
