I nearly quit Chelsea - Mourinho

Mourinho has revealed he came close to leaving Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho greeted his side's second Premiership title win by admitting he has twice thought about quitting Stamford Bridge this season.

The Blues' 3-0 defeat of Manchester United ensured they retained their title, but Mourinho said: "I have not enjoyed it so much this season.

"A couple of times, I thought about closing the door and saying goodbye.

"But don't interpret this as a doubt for next season. I enjoy Chelsea very, very much and I'll be here next term."

The Portuguese coach's relationship with the media has often been fractious since his arrival from Porto, and he admitted: "Why don't I go to press conferences? Because I have no pleasure to go.

"Maybe I have to be a different person in this country. Maybe this country - football-wise - is not adapted to my mentality and I will have to change.

"I have no complaints with the people, with Chelsea, or with other clubs. But I think I should be more happy and I'm not enjoying 100%."

I am staying at Chelsea because I believe I can enjoy it more next season Jose Mourinho

And Mourinho revealed the issue came down to what he perceived to be a lack of respect for the club.

"I think that Chelsea deserve a bit more respect. When we get that, I think that everyone at the club will enjoy it a bit more."

But he reiterated that he would be at Stamford Bridge next season, determined to retain the club's title for a second time.

"I am staying at Chelsea because I believe I can enjoy it more next season. I would be stupid to say I don't want to stay or that I'm not enjoying it and so I have to leave.

"I think next season we will improve. We will step up again, just like we did this season.

"When we do that, I hope that we can all enjoy it."
