José Mourinho has been once again confirmed as the manager of Chelsea Football Club for the second time after signing a four-year contract with the club. He was quoted telling supporters: "Now I am one of you".
Mourinho, reunited with the club he professes "to love", completed the formalities of his protracted move after flying into London on Monday following his final game in charge of Real Madrid at the Bernabéu at the weekend, and will be officially introduced by the club next Monday.
"Now I can say I am one of you, let's make a little bit of a difference. In my career I have had two great passions – Inter and Chelsea, and Chelsea is more important for me," he told Chelsea TV. Mourinho brings with him the assistant coaches Rui Faria, Silvino Louro and José Morais, with the current coaching staff members Steve Holland, Christophe Lollichon and Chris Jones remaining in place.
A club statement said: "Chelsea football club is delighted to announce the appointment of José Mourinho as first-team manager. Mourinho has signed a four-year contract and will return to the club where he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups between 2004 and 2007."
The club's chief executive, Ron Gourlay, added: "I am delighted to welcome José back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate.
"It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future and José is our number one choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that. He was and remains a hugely popular figure at the club and everyone here looks forward to working with him again."
Mourinho, 50, departed Chelsea six years ago and since leaving Stamford Bridge has taken charge at Internazionale, where he won Serie A twice and the Champions League, before winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid in Spain.
