Chelsea boss Mourinho willing to embrace FFP challenge

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits UEFA's Financial Fair Play laws will mean greater emphasis on the academy.

Mourinho has identified regular qualification for the Champions League as one key to maintaining Chelsea's economic stability.

"We need to go back to this stability," he added. "It's important for the players, for the young players' development, for the club, for the fan base and for the economic situation which is more important with Financial Fair Play.

"This is what we want, me as a manager, the owner and the board. The owner and the board want stability and then after that if we are working well and working together, success comes naturally.

"Everybody accepts the way we are going. I'm not trying to push in a different way. We are all in the same direction."
