Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists that Thibaut Courtois' long-term deal does not have any negative effect on veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech.
The talented Belgian gloveman penned a five-year deal with the Blues on Thursday after returning from a successful three-year loan spell with Spanish champions Atletico Madrid.
Courtois has relegated 32-year old Cech to the substitute's bench but Mourinho does not believe that the Czech Republic international, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2004, has an issue with being ousted.
"I don't think there is any problem," said Mourinho ahead of Saturday's clash with fellow unbeaten side Swansea City.
"Petr is a very intelligent guy and knows, when Courtois was coming back, it was to sign a new contract and stay a long time.
"No one expected Courtois to come back here and not sign a new contract, and be a free agent in two years' time and Chelsea to be in trouble.
"What happened was something that was very much on the table and something everyone could expect.
"We have Courtois with a five-year contract which gives us that stability with such a young player. But Petr has three years and is a top goalkeeper. I'm more than happy to have both in my team."
