Manager Mourinho ready to stay at Chelsea

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he wants to stay at the English football club to develop the current team, even though he does not expect to match the managerial longevity of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

Chelsea are ready to give Mourinho a two-year extension to his four-year deal, which runs outs in 2017, after he secured the Premier League title last weekend to add to the Capital One Cup, reports dailymail.co.uk.

And Mourinho's second spell at the club has been devoid of the political wrangles and infighting that sullied his first stint at the Stamford Bridge stadium , meaning that he is poised to break his record for length of service.

Mourinho, 52, has never completed a fourth season at any of the seven clubs for which he has worked since 2000, the longest spell being his first employment at Chelsea which lasted three years and four months.

But the Portuguese, whose family is settled in London, is ready to look longer term at Chelsea, even if he concedes he will never match Ferguson's 27 years at Manchester United or Wenger's 19 years and counting at Arsenal.

"It is impossible in modern football. I think Arsene Wenger will be the last. In modern football with everything that surrounds it, it's very difficult for that to happen," Mourinho said on Saturday.

However, Mourinho is determined to stay longer this time to see this new team grow.

"That's what I want. I didn't say it at Inter because I didn't want to. I didn't stay at Real because I didn't want to. I want to stay here. That is why I say I am in Mr (owner Roman) Abramovich's hands," the 52-year-old told dailymail.co.uk.

"He has no pressure. He doesn't need to give me a contract tomorrow, he doesn't need to give me more money. He doesn't need to be worried that some club is knocking on my door, he doesn't have to be worried with anything.

"When he wants me, I am staying. When he doesn't want me, I am going. So simple for him, so simple for me."

Mourinho feels he has unfinished business at the club after his abrupt departure in September 2007, after which Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink, Carlo Ancelotti, Andre Villas Boas, Roberto Di Matteo and Rafael Benitez all had stints at the helm.

"I want to develop this team," said Mourinho.
