Jose Mourinho: 'I won't be finishing my career at Chelsea'

Jose Mourinho

It's been a shocking start to the English Premier League season for reigning champions Chelsea, and now Jose Mourinho has revealed he won't be finishing his career at the Blues.

Chelsea are languishing in 16th position on the ladder having picked up just eight points from eight league games and are close to the relegation zone.

Nobody would have expected Chelsea to be experiencing the struggles they are after they waltzed to the title last year.

Mourinho has been under pressure all campaign and at the launch of his new book in London overnight, the 'Special One' said he would be leaving Chelsea sometime down the track.

"If you ask me how many years I'm still going to coach, I'd risk 15 more," he said to Evening Standard.

"I'm in the middle: I did 15, I have 15 more to do. I'll finish at 67. Maybe later if I can."

"Can I stay 15 more years at Chelsea Football Club? I don't think so."

"I don't think modern football allows it any more, so normally I will not finish my career at Chelsea. I would like to, but I don't think it's possible. So go back to Inter? Why not?"

Mourinho won the treble with Inter in 2010 and was a popular figure at the Italian job.
