​Chelsea supporters embarrassing Mourinho

Jose Mourinho today insisted he will see out his contract at Chelsea, but admitted he's been left embarrassed by the level of support he's received from the fans this term, reports the London Evening Standard.

Fresh reports on Friday morning linked him with a return to Real Madrid in the summer, while Paris Saint Germain and Monaco are also interested in his services.

But Mourinho declared: "I imagine myself finishing my contract with Chelsea. I have three and half years on my contract.

"After that I imagine myself coaching - not every club, there are some clubs I will never manage - but every club in the world.

"I think that the bad results are not normal, but the chance for every manager to do his work is and finish what he started is. What is not normal is what is happening now.

Despite their dramatic fall from grace, the club's fans haven't turned on Mourinho and continue to sing his name at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho admits he has been left humbled by their backing and said: "We like to play at Stamford Bridge. The fans are being absolutely incredible with us. I even don't know who to react to how nice they are. When they sing my name, I am a little embarrassed.

"Chelsea fans' memory is amazing. If not, they don't treat me and the players like this."
