"I'm here to stay, I belong to Chelsea" - Mourinho pledges career to Blues

The Special One has been well travelled on his journey to global renown but insists he is ready to settle down in the city and club he loves

Jose Mourinho insists he wants to stay at Chelsea for a long time and says he has given no thought to the next step in his managerial career.

Trophy-laden spells at Stamford Bridge, Porto, Inter and Real Madrid have established Mourinho as one of the most respected coaches in the world.

But now managing in west London for a second time, Mourinho is adamant he is ready to settle down in his personal and professional life.

He told London's Evening Standard: **“I’m not here thinking about my next move because I don’t want to have a next move. I’m here to stay. I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belong to me.”

“I think London is the only place in Europe where I can keep these little things of life. I can go to school and wait for my son and daughter and the parents feel me as another parent.”

“I can go to walk on Sloane Street or Old Bond Street and if somebody disturbs me it is not an English person for sure. I can go to a restaurant, I can go to a cab and the driver be an Arsenal or Tottenham supporter and he enjoys speaking with me. This is not possible in Italy and Spain!”**

Real Madrid, France 64 2837

And now we know how bad he was with us, his real according to him, is Chelsea. He should have stayed there at the first place.

^Yep, he was so bad with Real Madrid. He should have never went there and they should have kept struggling in the CL getting knocked out by Lyon year after year. :)
