“I’m the happy one,” the 50-year-old Portuguese told reporters.
“Time flies. It looks like it was a couple of days ago but it was nine years ago and since then lots of things have happened in my professional life. But I have the same nature. I’m the same person, I have the same heart. I have the same kind of emotions related to my passion for football and my job.
“If I have to describe myself, I would describe myself as a very happy person because it’s the first time I arrive at a club where I already love the club.”
‘No grudge against Abramovich’
Mourinho led Chelsea to back-to-back titles during his first spell between 2004 and 2007 but left after a reported falling out with club owner Roman Abramovich.
But he maintained that those reports were false, instead saying that he left ‘by mutual agreement’, albeit with a heavy heart.
