Chelsea incoming manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he intended to return to the Stamford Bridge and did not yearn for a job with either of the Manchester teams.
Mourinho has made his return to Chelsea following a bitter exit six years ago and after he was snubbed by both Manchester United and Manchester City, the Mirror reports.
Mourinho however maintained that he was not impacted by the fact that he as ignored by the Manchester teams as he wanted to come back to the west Londoners.
The Portuguese football manager also said that he is presently at a position where he has always wanted to be and he will not change the job for anything else, adding that he will be more than happy to continue at the Bridge even after his four-year-contract ends.
Mourinho, however admitted that he did not choose Chelsea as he wanted a comfortable position for his career in a place where his fans would want him but he is aware that his responsibilities will be even greater as people expect more from the professionals that gave the maximum for Chelsea in the past.
The manager added that he wants to be respected for his managerial capabilities in the club in the past, but yearns for the love of his fans for his actions hereafter.
