If the club is happy, I am happy. I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract. It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future – for the fans, the players and the club. I said when I returned here two years ago that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed. It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time.
During his second spell Mourinho has led Chelsea to our first Premier League title in five years, he also won the Capital One Cup by defeating Tottenham 2-0 at Wembley in March last season.
Mourinho has the best ever win percentage in Premier League history of 70 per cent. His Chelsea side of 2004/05 also holds the highest ever points won in a Premier League season of 95.
It is certainly tremendous news that Mourinho has signed a new contract and hopefully he will see out his current contract and beyond at Stamford Bridge.
