I should be the boss of Chelsea

MOURINHO ... forced ou


JOSE MOURINHO breezed back into Chelsea last night and insisted: I should still be Blues' boss.

The Special One dismissed Carlo Ancelotti ahead of tonight's Champions League clash by pointing out England's other big clubs have not changed managers since he was sacked.

And he pointed out Chelsea have only won the FA Cup since he left in September 2007.

Inter boss Mourinho said: "When I look at the big four teams while I was in England, they're all there. Sir Alex is there. Wenger is there. Benitez is there.

"I did more than enough to be here but the decision was made. Chelsea looked forward. I look forward. They move on. I move on. I keep winning important things.

"They keep winning - something. They won an FA Cup. The most important thing is the relationship we have. No regrets, no big problems. Just respect.

"In football, coming back to an old team, it's important to feel like I feel.

"It's one of the most beautiful things in football."

The Italians hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg but Mourinho arrived in London without one of his best players, Mario Balotelli, after he had a fight with his striker in training on Monday.

The Inter boss refused to speak about the row - but was quite happy to talk about how much he misses Stamford Bridge.

And he insisted that he will not salute a win for Inter because of his affection for the club.

He said: "I won't celebrate because it's the team where I worked for 3½ years.

"The same people, the same players, the same supporters who made me feel incredible every time we played in this stadium.

"But don't confuse this emotional control with a desire to win.

"I gave everything to prepare for this game. And tomorrow, during the 90 minutes, I will give everything again to try and help my team win.

"Players win matches on the pitch. Coaches just try and give a bit of help. I'll try and do that.

"But don't confuse my feelings for my ex-players and my ex-club with my desire and motivation to win this game."
