Mourinho dismisses matching SAF's Premier League title haul

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed out of hand the prospect of matching Sir Alex Ferguson's haul of 13 Premier League titles. The Special One led the Blues to his third Premier League title with Sunday's 1-0 defeat of Crystal Palace.

"I have a long way to go, but Sir Alex left the bar in an impossible position for anyone. I cannot win 13 Premier Leagues," Mourinho told BT Sport.

"I can win 13 championships. I can. I have eight, I think I can go to 13. But 13 Premier Leagues, no, no chance."

Mourinho needs four more championships to reach 13, after two wins with Porto in Portugal, two with Inter Milan in Italy and one with Real Madrid in Spain, plus his three with Chelsea.
