Jose Mourinho: I stay here as long as Mr Abramovich wants me

Jose Mourinho says that he will stay at Chelsea to win more trophies, as long as owner Roman Abramovich wants him in charge.

Mourinho's team won their fifth top flight title on Sunday, their third under the Portuguese boss, as they claimed the double following Capital One Cup final success in March.

Despite winning six trophies in three years during his first stint at the club between 2004-07 Mourinho fell out with Abramovich and departed "by mutual consent" in September 2007.

However, he returned in June 2013 and has now pledged to remain at Stamford Bridge until he is told otherwise. "I stay here as long as Mr Abramovich wants me," he said. "The day he tells me to go, I go.

"Remember, he is the man who won every title at Chelsea. If he has all the replicas, he needs a big house."

The Chelsea boss immediately celebrated his latest title with his family and revealed how he travelled home to spend time with his father, Felix, who is recovering from surgery in hospital in Portugal.

"When the game finished at Leicester on Wednesday I immediately got a private plane to Portugal," he said.

"I was there with him at the most difficult moment, which was at the moment of the surgery. After that everything is under control. He's strong, getting better and better so I'm much more relaxed."
