Chelsea boss Mourinho: I deserve Special One tag

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho stands by his own 'Special One' nickname.

Mou dubbed himself the 'Special One' when he first joined Chelsea nine years ago.

"The expression is mine, that's obvious. When I arrived at Chelsea, I said I was special because I had won the Champions League with Porto," said Mourinho.

"To be a champion, it's necessary to have a special talent.

"Being special is working to the maximum of your ability and motivation, being good with yourself in all the challenges you've got. And, if possible, winning and being successful many times.

"You're not special if you don't win - but I do win!"
