“I’ll succeed without you” – Mourinho tells Chelsea
Outspoken football manager Jose Mourinho is out of job after Chelsea FC fired him.
But Mourinho says he will record another round of success like he did after the Premier League champions gave him the sack in 2007.
Mourinho’s comments are contained in a statement he reportedly released in conjunction with United Sates based CAA agency.
Here’s the purported statement:
During his career, Jose has sometimes chosen to leave a club, but only at Chelsea has the club decided that he should leave.
Each time represents for him the end of a cycle, and the opportunity to start a new one. José hopes that his future after Chelsea this time will be as successful as when he left the club in 2007.
He will not be taking a sabbatical, he isn’t tired, he doesn’t need it, he is very positive, and is already looking forward.
Because of his love of football, you will see José at football grounds working and supporting friends. He will not be attending any high-profile games because he wants to discourage any speculation about his future.
Jose will remain living in London and hopes he and his family will be given the opportunity to do this privately.
Jose will not speak about his current situation for the foreseeable future. He asks the media to respect this decision.
