Jose Mourinho has told the Daily Telegraph he would not hesitate to commit his long-term future to Chelsea were he offered a new contract.
Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge in June 2013 on a four-year deal and led the club to third in the 2013-14 campaign.
The Blues have made a strong start to the new season, sitting
unbeaten at the top of the table after seven games, and former Real
Madrid boss Mourinho has said he sees his long-term future in West
London.
"I [would] sign tomorrow," he said. "That's what I want. I want to
stay in Chelsea and English football because I think I won the right.
Unfortunately, Chelsea's not my club. I depend on the club and I depend
on the results."
"Last year, I was feeling that we could [win the league] but we were
not ready to cope with that pressure," he said. "We couldn't cope with
certain moments of the game.
"This season we improve footballistically, with Diego and [Cesc]
Fabregas, no doubt. We were lucky to have in the market available for us
exactly the style of player we need. But what people maybe don't
realise is that the maturity of our team changed a lot.
"I think Man City have everything. I think they have lots of talent
and lots of physicality. They have more options than everyone else. They
have 'replicas' for every position [but] they don't have young players
in the development phase.
"You tell me -- if we keep this team, and they keep that team: in
five years' time who is going to be better? I say immediately -- us,
because in five years I'm going to have [Eden] Hazard, Oscar, Willian,
[Cesar] Azpilicueta, [Kurt] Zouma, in the best moment of their careers,
and the fantastic players I have now at 28, 29. A fantastic team with
lots of solutions."
