‘Well let me put it like this: one day I will leave Chelsea, and when I do I will continue living in London,’ Mourinho replied.
‘There are a number of other opportunities for a manager in London – Fulham, QPR, West Ham, Spurs, the England national team… and Arsenal.’
The conversation continued as Morgan moved to rule out Fulham, Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, which lead to Mourinho saying:
‘So, Piers, we are left with two options, yes? Arsenal and the national team.
‘For now I have given you what you wanted – a glimmer of hope.’
