Jose Mourinho talks about Chelsea’s return as demand mounts to fire Mauricio Pochettino.
Mauricio Pochettino is under more and more pressure, so Chelsea might soon start looking for a new boss.
After a terrible 5-0 loss to local foes Arsenal, the Argentine’s first season at Stamford Bridge has not been very good. The Blues are currently ninth in the Premier League table. Fans have a lot of ideas about who could take over if Pochettino leaves.
One name that keeps coming up is that of previous boss Jose Mourinho. Even though Mourinho has had good times at Chelsea in the past, he has been quiet about a possible third run as manager.
This is what the Portuguese have said so far…
It’s not about us.
People asked Mourinho about the chance of staying at Chelsea again in 2019 while he was talking about Liverpool’s win over Tottenham in the Champions League final.
When asked if he might play for Chelsea again, he kept his secrets. He answered, “We’re not here to talk about it.” It’s not about us; we’re here to talk about this.
“The past is Chelsea.”
Mourinho’s ties to Chelsea continued even after he was hired by Tottenham to replace Pochettino, leading to rumors that he still supported the Blues. In response to these worries, Mourinho only brought up the fact that he had been fired from Chelsea, saying, “That was before I was sacked!” That’s football these days.”
The two-time European winner said, “I can be really happy here [with Tottenham], make people happy, and there’s no bigger fan in the world than me who wants Spurs to win and do well.” Not more than me, but maybe the same as me. The past for Chelsea is a great one, with two stages, each with a title. “But that was in the past.”
Even though he left Tottenham after only 18 months, he still talked about how much he loved the club: “If you ask me, do I have someone I would love to take over from “my Chelsea,” let’s say yes, I do, but I close my mouth.”
“The team got so good that Chelsea will always be Chelsea, no matter who they play with.” The stadium is only 200 meters from my house, and Chelsea will always be big. That’s why I want to keep hearing the sound of success and happiness. “That’s how I think it will turn out.”
Soon after, the 61-year-old made the same claim again by saying he would always have a soft spot for the Blues. He also said, “Of course, my English link is Chelsea.” I think that way because I’ve been a Chelsea fan for six years and two spells.
“This is not the Chelsea we know.”
After being honest with a fan, Jose Mourinho hinted that a return to Stamford Bridge isn’t likely, even though he loves Chelsea. A fan asked Mourinho if he would come back to the club, and his answer told the story: “Thank you, my friend, but Chelsea is not the Chelsea we know.”
“The only thing I need”
The Special One also talked about what he looks for in a future job, as rumors about a move to Newcastle United and a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia spread. In order to make things clear, he said, “It’s not like I’m afraid of jobs [with clubs] that aren’t’made to win it.'”
He said, “When some managers get to a certain level, they might say, ‘I will only get jobs made to win it.'” My job is to try to turn clubs into ones that are “made to win it,” or meet certain goals.
“All I want is for everyone to agree on the goals and aims in a fair way.” Because of my past, I can’t go to a club where the goal is to win the title. No. It only needs to be fair for me.
“Do you think I would still have a job if I worked for a big Premier League club and we were sixth, seventh, or eighth in the table?” In other words, I want people to treat me the same way they treat other people. I care about whether or not the club has goals and whether I can say that I am ready to fight for them.
“I don’t want to say realistic, but… mostly realistic.” Because no one at Roma was thinking of making it to the European Cup finals when I got there, but we did it. Going to a club that’s almost demoted and trying to win the Champions League is not possible. It’s good, but not fair.
