Jose Mourinho has declared that Roman Abramovich, will not have to pay another huge compensation bill if he fails to win silverware.
The Chelsea owner paid Mourinho and his backroom staff £18million, when he sacked them in 2007. But the former Real Madrid manager has promised to leave on his own accord this time around, if it does not work out.
“Of course, it is about winning trophies.My DNA didn’t change, my nature didn’t change. I am not the kind of person to be at the same club for three or four years without winning a trophy,” he said ahead of the Blues’ game against Hull.
“In this case, I don’t need the club to say ‘we are not happy with you, goodbye’. I will be the first one to say ‘I gave everything I could but I didn’t succeed, so let’s both go and try a different thing’.
“My feeling is the trophies will arrive naturally without obsession, they will arrive naturally, based on the stability because there is big empathy between the different sectors at this club
“Chelsea need some stability. In this moment, the club is ready for that and I am ready for that.
“When I came the first time, I still had the passion of going around and trying to win other championships and trying to make myself better by going to other football countries.
“But now, I don’t see myself in Spain coaching another club and I don’t see myself coaching another club in Italy other than Inter.
“I don’t see myself in other Leagues because I have a connection with Chelsea. I have quite a long contract here and I hope at the end of it we both want to keep together.”
The 50-year-old also revealed that he always hugs his son before any game, but insisted it was not a supestition.
“Since my son grew up and goes to every football game, I wait for him and he comes down for a hug,” said Mourinho. “He did this at Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and he is going to do it now. I like that, I feel comfortable when the kid comes.
“It’s not a superstition, just a good feeling.”
