Jose Mourinho has revealed had he not been mentally
strong last season then he could have walked away from
Chelsea.
The hugely successful Portuguese tactician's job was reportedly
under threat last term following a much-publicised fall-out with
billionaire owner Roman Abramovich.
However, the pair are believed to have reconciled and the former
Porto boss has lifted the lid on the exact goings on within the
confines of Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho concedes Chelsea works in a different way to the
traditional hierarchy at most football clubs and has stated it is
he who needs to adapt to the situation - not Abramovich.
"We reached a ridiculous situation that there were 14 coaches
linked to my job last season," Mourinho told the News of the
World.
"It was a crazy time and if it hadn't happened in a period when I
was in a mature state of mind, I may have ended things at
Chelsea.
"Right now, I'm the club's coach, Peter Kenyon is the chief
executive, and there is a board that Roman Abramovich does not sit
on.
"His position in the club is different and we have to get used to
it.
"We are in a situation that has me considering Chelsea's playing
staff, while Peter directs from a structural and financial point of
view - while also including me.
"Roman Abramovich, as the club owner, has to be informed by Peter
about the things that are being done and then says if he agrees or
not.
"Peter Kenyon then contacts the agent and tries to reach a deal.
Finally, he meets with the club owner to keep him informed and if
Roman says yes, the deal is done.
"Communication still exists - it is just a different way of
working."
Ok.. Wat's next??
