Soccer Rumors: Jose Mourinho Has No Plans To Leave Chelsea As Long As He Is Wanted in the Club
Jose Mourinho led Chelsea to another major title and the Blues manager insisted he is not planning to leave Stamford Bridge as long as he is wanted in the club.
Mourinho won six titles during his stint as Chelsea manager from 2004 to 2007 before he and the club mutually agreed to part ways in September 2007.
The Portuguese manager returned to the club in June 2013 for his second tour of duty at Stamford Bridge. And now that he has accomplished his goal of helping the Blues win another English Premier League title, there is a growing speculation Mourinho will leave the club again for bigger offers.
But when asked about his future, Mourinho insisted that he will not leave Chelsea and he is determined to win more trophies for the club. He said he will only leave the club if team owner Roman Abramovich tells him to do so.
"I stay here as long as Mr. Abramovich wants me," Mourinho said, according to ESPN FC. "The day he tells me to go, I go. Remember, he is the man who won every title at Chelsea. If he has all the replicas, he needs a big house."
Chelsea secured the English Premier League title with their 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, which ended their five-year league title drought. The Blues took home their fifth league title in league history -- their first since winning the top flight title in 2010 under Carlo Ancelotti.
Mourinho led the Blues to two consecutive league championships in 2005 and 2006 before he had a falling out with Abramovich. But after settling their differences in 2013 and by clinching the title this season, Mourinho believes he made the right decision to return to Stamford Bridge.
"When you go back to a place where you had success before, you risk a little bit your prestige and history," Mourinho said. "But I won again and now I can say I won titles for Chelsea with two different generations. A new team won."
Mourinho made big moves before the season started, including signing former Atletico Madrid superstar Diego Costa to a five-year deal. The superstar striker was a big contributor for the Blues this season, netting 19 league goals despite struggling to stay healthy this year.
