Mourinho: I'm committed to Chelsea


Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has declared his long-term commitment to Stamford Bridge.

Inter Milan are eyeing the Portuguese master coach, but he said: "I've heard I want to leave or that Chelsea want me to leave or that I have a lot of problems with Peter Kenyon and with the dog and with the cat. I have problems with everybody.
"But it is a good opportunity to say again and again that I have a contract until 2010 and I want to be here. I know you all love me.
"We are preparing for next season and I don't believe the club would be doing that with me if they thought I wouldn't be here. If I speak with a player that I would like next season, how can I do that if, at the end of the season, I am not here?
"When I said one year ago that my next step after Chelsea would be Italy, this sounds as if it was something I said last week.
"When I said I would like to be Portuguese manager, it's for me in 20 years' time."
