Mourinho proud of culture he brought to Chelsea

Jose Mourinho is proud of the culture he introduced to Chelsea during his previous time as manager.

Mourinho admits he now returns to a club in much better shape second time around.

"I heard one manager here, I think it was [Luiz Felipe] Scolari, that when he comes to Chelsea he was saying: 'Chelsea, I never saw a club like Chelsea, I never saw a club with such an organisation in the analysis department, I never saw such a group of players with such a working ethic.'

"And that was two or three years after me and I was saying to myself and to my assistants: 'He never mentioned my name but it is a big compliment.' Because it's my working ethic, it's my group of players, it's my department of analysis and preparation of matches, it is my people. That's my work. That's success."
