I don't mind Mourinho

The fact he's come back to Chelsea to be honest is good for football in England as a whole. It won't be long before he falls out with Roman again anyway.

This has come out of the blue!

Jose Mourinho: 'I will be the new coach of Chelsea'

Jose Mourinho has said on Spanish television that he expects to be reappointed as Chelsea manager by the end of the week.

The 50-year-old has left Real Madrid after three years in charge.

He told football programme Punto Pelota: "I will go to London and between Monday and the end of the week I will be the new coach of Chelsea."

Mourinho previously managed Chelsea between 2004 and 2007, leading the club to two Premier League titles.
He also clinched the FA Cup and two League Cups before leaving in September 2007.

Mourinho added: "I hope to be Chelsea's new coach.

"I would like to be it because I was happy in London and I feel that the people there love me.

"Life is beautiful and short, and in life you have to seek out what you think is best for you."

Real Madrid announced in May that the Portuguese would be leaving the club. Defeat by Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final ensured Mourinho ended the season without a trophy.

Madrid also finished runners-up to Barcelona in the league and suffered a third successive semi-final exit in the Champions League.

Mourinho hinted after Real's last-four defeat to Borussia Dortmund that he was looking to return to England and Chelsea.

On Sunday, the Premier League apologised to Chelsea after publishing a story on its website saying Mourinho had returned as manager of the Blues.

MOURINHO APPOINTED

Posted on: Mon 03 Jun 2013

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Jose Mourinho as First Team Manager.

Mourinho has signed a four-year contract and will return to the club where he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups between 2004 and 2007.

Ron Gourlay, Chelsea FC Chief Executive, said: 'I am delighted to welcome Jose back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate.

'It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future and Jose is our number one choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that.

'He was and remains a hugely popular figure at the club and everyone here looks forward to working with him again.'

Since leaving Chelsea in 2007, the 50-year-old Portuguese has worked in Italy with Inter and Spain with Real Madrid, lifting three league championships, two domestic cups and the Champions League.

Originally appointed at Stamford Bridge in 2004, immediately after winning Europe's top competition with Porto, he quickly achieved success securing his first trophy for the club as early as February 2005, when we beat Liverpool 3-2 after extra-time in Cardiff to win the Carling Cup. We went on to win the league that season with a record 95 points and a record low of just 15 goals conceded in 38 games.

The club celebrated consecutive championships in our centenary 2005/06 season, secured with a 3-0 win over Manchester United in late April, and the next campaign we were able to add the Carling Cup with victory over Arsenal in Cardiff, and the FA Cup when United were beaten again in the first senior game at the new Wembley.

Mourinho departed by mutual consent in September 2007, going on to develop his already impressive CV by winning the Serie A twice in two years and the Champions League with Inter, before joining Real Madrid in 2010, where he lifted both La Liga and the Copa Del Rey, ending his stay in Spain yesteday.

He brings three coaching staff with him in Rui Faria, Silvino Louro and Jose Morais. Each carries the title of Assistant First Team Coach and will work alongside current first team staff Steve Holland, Christophe Lollichon and Chris Jones.

The new manager will be officially presented in a press conference at Stamford Bridge on Monday 10 June, further details of which will follow in due course.

It must have really hurt them to miss out on Moyes.

[Neil Young]

At last the embargo is lifted. What a massive relief.

The sky wankfest has begun...

Now we can get back to simple, unilateral hatred of Chelsea with no ambiguous motives etc etc.


A great day for football.

I hate to type this, but if we aren't winning it, anyone but United, IMO. Chelsea is a better, City better still, so I can't hate him too much. With Moyes coming in, I want the United era to end first and foremost and if we can't do it, I'll have City or Chelsea. Rather it were us, he is another roadblock to our success, but frankly, if we can't spend to keep up and can't compete for the title, it's anyone but United for me.

They have a fantastic squad and will now also have fantastic manager.
