The Portuguese ace wants to remain at Stamford Bridge until he retires.
Despite having never stayed at a club for more than three years, Jose Mourinho wants to be Chelsea manager for the rest of the 50-year-old’s career.
Mourinho is highly decorated having won two Premier League titles, La Liga, Serie A and the Champions League twice with the likes of FC Porto, the Blues, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Yet the Portuguese coach now says that this second stint at Stamford Bridge will be the boss’ last job before retirement.
“I’m not here thinking about my next move because I don’t want to have a next move,” Mourinho told the London Evening Standard.
“I will have a next move if and when Chelsea decides it’s time for that.
“I’m not chasing new experiences, trying to find where I like it more, where I can make new things for my career – no. It’s a completely different perspective.
“I’m here to stay. I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belong to me. I gave a lot to Chelsea in the past but they also gave a lot to me. This is a different professional relationship.”
Some doubt how long this ideology will last however, considering how Mourinho and owner Roman Abramovich’s relationship ended last time around.
The boss enjoyed great success with the west London club between 2004 and 2007, winning five trophies, but eventually Abramovich and the former Porto man could no longer work together.
However, six years on and apparently things are different – certainly Mourinho seems more calm – but after six months of a four year contract it could seem a little premature to make these statements.
