Mourinho back for long haul

On the day Jose Mourinho rebranded himself as “the happy one”, he also stated he wants a new “identity” for Chelsea.

The returning Stamford Bridge manager feels that long-term stability — for both himself and the club — is now essential.

While deflecting questions about the Manchester United job and Pep Guardiola, and the perception that both Chelsea and Mourinho ended up with their second choices, the Portuguese man insisted he and the club are finally united in terms of their long-term approach.
