But despite the struggles of this season, Mourinho, who signed a new four-year contract with Chelsea in August, insists he is committed to remaining at the club until the summer of 2019, although he did not dismiss the idea of a return to the Spanish capital when he leaves.

Jose Mourinho admits he feels “embarrassed” when Chelsea supporters sing his name during the club’s disastrous run of results.
However, Mourinho has gone on to play down speculation linking him with a move back to Real Madrid by stating that he intends to finish his contract with Chelsea and added that he does not imagine himself managing any other club if indeed he were to depart Stamford Bridge. “I have three-and-a-half years of my contract”, revealed the self-proclaimed “Special One”.
“After that I imagine myself coaching – not every club, there are some clubs I will never manage – but every club in the world”.
“When you are champion you wave and share the emotion, but I know for sure the Chelsea fans don’t need to be reminded, that is for sure”.
The defending Premier League champions, who face current league leaders Leicester City on Monday night, are interested in prizing the Real Madrid star to Stamford Bridge during next month’s transfer window. But the Chelsea fans have been nearly unanimously supportive throughout, and the Portuguese boss knows they don’t have “memory problems”.
“Any manager keeping his job and being able improving things is not lucky”, he said.
“Before we lost the last three points against Bournemouth I was absolutely convinced of the fourth position in the table”.
“I’m always against a sacking”.
