Mourinho is determined to see out his contract at Stamford Bridge
|
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he wants to manage Real Madrid one day - but not until 2010.
Mourinho is determined to see out his contract at Stamford Bridge amid speculation over his future.
He said: "It would be an honour to work in a club like Real Madrid and I don't say no for the future. But I say no until 2010 because I have a contract.
"I want to stay at Chelsea, I am in love with Chelsea, I am in love with English football."
Both Mourinho and Chelsea have been at pains to insist the Blues boss is going nowhere and to play down rumours of a breakdown in his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck insisted Mourinho would be at the club next season and Mourinho has rubbished speculation that he would leave in the summer.
Mourinho has previously worked in Spain under Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal at Barcelona.
Real Madrid's exit from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich has increased the pressure on their Italian coach Fabio Capello.
