Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has started planning for next season, insisting that no players will be leaving.
Special One Mourinho believes that only a minor amount of tinkering is required for the Blues to be competitive on all fronts next season.
Season Summary
Chelsea have won the Premier League and Capital One Cup this season, but were eliminated from the Champions League in the last 16, and also were shocked by Bradford City in the FA Cup.
Mourinho Reveals Plans
Speaking ahead of the trip to Liverpool on Sunday, he said: “The most important thing is to keep the squad together – keep the players we have.
“In my previous squad I had players I was happy to sell and make money with them. In this squad there are no players that I’m happy to do that with. So we are not selling many players. I want to keep my important players.“Obviously, we will try to improve the squad and there will be a little bit of rotation with the young players. But our squad next season will be very similar to this one, with one or two players added, which is the minimum you require.
“The evolution of the other teams means we must try to do better. If you are without opposition, maybe we would stabilise because where we are was enough to win this league and would be enough to win the next one.”But in England if we are exactly the same it is not enough. The opposition and their economic power and desire to win the title this is what we need.
“Difficulties make us better. We expect our opponents to be stronger and that is what we need to improve.”
Mourinho Future
Mourinho himself is on the verge of signing a new five-year deal to remain as boss at Stamford Bridge.
