Spain’s Mundo Deportivo reports that Florentino Pérez called Mourinho after Chelsea’s victory in the League Cup Final. Partially to congratulate him, but also to try and persuade him to come back to the Bernabeu. The alleged conversation lasted around fifteen minutes and at the end of the call Perez supposedly attempted to convince Mourinho to return to Madrid.
Mourinho’s reported response was apparently pretty definitive:
“My wife is happy in London, my son is happy in London, my daughter is happy in London and I am happy in London,” he said. “I’ve returned to England and my professional career will end in England. I will not return to coach in any other country.”
The report claims that Perez tried again, but Mourinho dug in still further: “It is impossible, I am not coming back to Spain.”
What does this means for the Blues?
Mourinho is dedicated for the long-term, should he have the opportunity to stay. If the success continues, I could see Mourinho patrolling the Stamford Bridge touchline for the next 10 years. If given time, he can build up the academy, and continue to procure his squad which is growing into a team that looks to be ready to dominate England for the foreseeable future. Regardless of the long-term significance, that’s the type of answer that fans want to hear from their beloved manager.
