Mourinho signs new contract

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho has signed a new deal that would keep him at the Stamford bridge until 2019.

‎

The Portuguese, who had previously been in charge from 2004-2007, rejoined in 2013 on a four-year deal, leading the

Blues to the Premier League title and the Capital One Cup last season.

"I said when I returned here that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed," he said.

"I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract. It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future - for the fans, the players and the club. ‎It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time."

‎

Mourinho's initial exit from Stamford Bridge came about due to a disagreement with wealthy owner Abramovich, although relations appear to have improved in recent years.

Speaking shortly after wrapping up the  Premier League title last term, Mourinho stated he would "stay as long as Mr Abramovich wants me".‎
