Chelsea have endured their first
trophyless season since the 2010/11
campaign, but Jose Mourinho is set
to be in charge for the next
campaign.
Owner Roman Abramovich is not
normally one for giving managers
time to build a team – he sacked
Carlo Ancelotti after that campaign.
Mourinho has often stated that
rebuilding Chelsea is a long term
project and he appears set to be
given the chance to succeed but he
insisted that he is not unsackable.
“I don’t have that security,” the
Portuguese coach said. “Nobody has
that security in football, I believe.
Unless somebody in a special
situation.
“But nobody has that security. David
signed a six-year contract at United
and everyone was speaking about
stability.
“Everyone was convinced he had
stability, myself included, but at the
end of the day he doesn’t get to the
end of his first season.
“So in football now there must be
something really special between
manager and club, or the manager
must be something really special to
be there for five, 10 years. It must
be a special situation.
“I’m not saying I’ll have that
security to be here until the end of
my contract or beyond that.
“I just try and prove I can do my
job, and the Chelsea job is different
than in previous years.
“Clearly, if you want to analyse the
situation it’s easy to analyse. The
team that won the trophies at
Chelsea was a team with a certain
structure, not just tactically by
personality-point-of-view, and that
team is over.
“It doesn’t exist any more. Chelsea
needs to build another team with
some similarities to that one.
“Not with the same profile of
players, but similarities with qualify,
personality, in a certain tactical
approach and, at the moment, it’s a
transition.”
Mourinho insisted that winning the
Premier League title was not an
obligation next season and admitted
that it had become tougher to win
given the rise of Manchester City
and Tottenham.
In his first spell, it was primarily a
battle between Manchester United,
Arsenal and Chelsea, with Liverpool
being the fourth placed side.
Now the Red Devils are out of the
Champions League and the Blues
would have missed out had they not
won the competition in 2012.
“The league is tough, but as you can
see, every season now somebody is
out of the Champions League,”
Mourinho said.
“Someone is out of the top four.
Only one can be champions. To be
second or third is the same, but to
third or fourth is different, and
fourth or fifth is even more difficult.
“You have to fight for every position,
and it’s difficult for everybody.”
Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and John
Terry are coming to the end of their
Chelsea careers and may even have
played their last game for the club.
Mourinho has hinted that the wants
the trio to sign a new deal but
acknowledges that they won’t be
around in the long term.
“Clearly, Chelsea had a fantastic
team that lasted for 10 years,” he
said.
“Some of these boys are still here,
but not many of them. And Chelsea
are building their future.
“You could see this season that
these people were important to give
some stability, some experience to
the team, but obviously they’re not
the players for the next 10 years.
“Those have to be the [Eden]
Hazards, Oscars, [Nemanja] Matic...
these young guys.”
The Blues boss was gushing with his
praise of the Belgian playmaker, who
he believes has had an astounding
season.
Mourinho said: “He had a big
evolution in his game and his
personality, a high that lasted for a
long time, for many months, and he
couldn’t finish on a high because he
was injured.
“And in the most important period
of the season he was not there:
against Paris in the second leg,
against Atletico in the first leg, he
was there but not in the top of his
condition in the second leg against
Atletico, or in the last six matches in
the Premier League because of his
injury.
“But clearly for me he’s a player
with a big evolution. Hopefully he’ll
be even better next season.”
SHOULD MOURINHO BE SACKED??
