Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to offer Jose Mourinho a new contract. The London Evening Standard says Mourinho is set to be rewarded for Chelsea's title success with a two?year contract extension.

The 52-year-old's agreement runs until 2017 but it is understood the Blues are in advanced talks to prolong his stay at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho is already the highest paid manager in the Premier League on around £8.5million per season and the new agreement is believed to include an increase which could yet make him the game's top earning manager.
