Liverpool great Carragher backs Chelsea's Mourinho to follow Ferguson's Man Utd blueprint

Jose Mourinho can leave a lasting legacy if he remains at the helm at Chelsea for a number of years.

That is the opinion of former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher who has urged the Portuguese tactician to stay at Stamford Bridge longer than three years and build a super strong club much Sir Alex Ferguson did at Manchestwer united.

Mourinho has won league title in Portugal, Italy, Spain and England but despite all of his success, Neville suggests the only thing he hasn't achieved is really making a club his own.

"Everywhere he goes, people always say he only does three years. It's got to the stage where he has been to that many clubs and that many countries, where else could he go?" Carragher said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"The one thing left for him, to take him to a level maybe like Sir Alex Ferguson, is to be there for a long time, build a whole club in your image, look at the youth set up.

"That's the only one thing he's never done, had that huge period of success at one club."
