Mourinho breaks silence after making decision over Chelsea boss return approach

Chelsea considered an approach for former manager Jose Mourinho before narrowing down

Reports have suggested Boehly will make a final decision on Chelsea's next managerial appointment this week with Pochettino expected to be appointed. Mourinho has been approached by the Blues and has now left the door open to a potential summer exit from the Italian giants.

"I don’t talk to friends, comrades, journalists," Mourinho replied when asked about his future. "If a few months ago our CEO [Pietro] Berardi said he was sure I would stay, that is his interpretation.

"If this time Mr. Zazzaroni [a journalist] said what he said is an interpretation of him, I’m not talking to anyone. The situation is clear, from a contractual point of view I still have one year on my contract.

"Football is football, sometimes contracts aren’t the most important thing. All good, all calm, the next one is always the most important game.," the Portuguese boss added.
