Mourinho: I don't want to leave
Chelsea
tribalfooball.com - April 12, 2007
Jose Mourinho has declared his commitment to Chelsea.
"I don't want my name linked with Madrid or with any other club
because I want to stay with Chelsea," he told Marca. "I've got a
contract until 2010 and I want to carry on.
"If I have to leave for some reason or because someone wants me
to... that's life in soccer.
"And if I leave I want to keep coaching next season at another
European club. I like English soccer and I'd like to coach another
club in the Premiership but not now.
"I don't imagine leaving Chelsea and going straight to another
English club. It would be a very strange situation and I don't want
it to happen."
Mourinho described his time at Chelsea as "historic" after leading
the club to two Premiership titles after joining the club in 2004
from Porto, with whom he won the Champions League.
"I have done work in these three years which could be termed
historic, because some of the things we have done can only be
described this way," he added.
"This season has been the best of all because we have had to
overcome some incredible problems.
"It's been unbelievable what we've suffered because of injury
problems this season, and look what we're still managing to
do."
Mourinho was not willing to discuss his relationship with club
owner Roman Abramovich which has been the subject of much
speculation in recent months.
"My work is with the players, we are the ones that win and lose the
games. I don't want to talk about my relationship with Abramovich,"
said Mourinho.
