Mourinho wants to remain with Chelsea for keeps

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho wants to finish his management career at Stamford Bridge. "I'm not here thinking about my next move because I don't want to have a next move," he told the Evening Standard.

"I will have a next move if and when Chelsea decides it's time for that. I'm here to stay. I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belong to me.

"I gave a lot to Chelsea in the past but they also gave a lot to me. This is a different professional relationship."

Mourinho spent five years away from west London, enjoying spells with Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

But the 50-year-old now feels his European odyssey is at an end and is settled with his second stint at the club.

"We kept our house (in London) from last time and, although we tried to hide it, we came lots of times," said Mourinho.

"The success I had in my career gave me the possibility to choose my destiny.

"When I made the decision I didn't know if Chelsea would be available and if the door would be open but when it did, the picture was perfect for me."
