Jose Mourinho insists he is still
'in love with Chelsea' after clarifying his comments regarding the
Real Madrid job.
In an interview with Canal Plus, the Portuguese revealed he would
be 'honoured' to one day take charge of the Spanish giants.
His comments led to suggestions he would look to quit Stamford
Bridge in the summer in favour of the Santiago Bernabeu.
But Mourinho remains committed to fulfilling his contract with the
Premiership champions, despite acknowledging his admiration for a
club of Real's stature.
"What I can tell is that, as always, the press choose the words
they want to choose and not the words that people say," said
Mourinho on Sky Sports News.
"Especially, when you don't tell it completely, you take it
completely out of context.
"A journalist asked if I would like to train Real Madrid, the
answer was that every coach would like to do it.
"I would be honoured to work in a club like Real Madrid.
"I don't say no for the future, but I say clearly no until 2010
because I have a contract with Chelsea.
"I want to stay in Chelsea, I'm in love with Chelsea and I'm in
love with English football.
"These are the words and you can say what you say about it, but
these are the words."
