Chelsea boss agrees to four-year deal
Chelsea Football Club have announced that Jose Mourinho has signed a four-year extension at the club.
The Special One, who returned two years ago, won the Premier League and the Capital One Cup last season, and his team are heavily tipped to retain the title this season.
Mourinho left Stamford Bridge and then spent time in Italy with Inter Milan, followed by a spell in Spain with Real Madrid.
However, after re-signing for Chelsea, Mourinho admitted that West London was his rightful home and he is now delighted that he’s signed a new long-term deal.
Mourinho Statement
Mourinho said: “If the club is happy, I am happy. I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract. It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future – for the fans, the players and the club.
“I said when I returned here two years ago that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed. It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time.”
Club Statement
Club director Marina Granovskaia added: “We are very happy that Jose has committed four more years to the club.
“Since his arrival two years ago he has carefully developed the playing squad and brought trophies to Stamford Bridge. We look forward to the next four years and the continued success of the team.”
