Jose Mourinho to emulate Sir Alex Ferguson legacy at Chelsea - Mendes

Jose Mourinho will remain in charge of Chelsea for at least 10 years, the Portuguese's agent Jorges Mendes has told BBC Sport.

Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge in 2013 having left the club in 2007 when he went on to manage Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

He was linked with Manchester United following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement two years ago, but ultimately completed his comeback at Chelsea.

Mendes said: "Jose will stay for sure. He will be the Sir Alex Ferguson of Chelsea Football Club. He loves the supporters, he loves the city and I think he will stay there for more than 10 years."

Chelsea have impressed under Mourinho this season, with the club top of the Premier League, in the final of the League Cup and also in the knockout phase of the Champions League.

The Premier League leaders are next in action at Aston Villa on Saturday, when new signing Juan Cuadrado could make his debut after signing from Fiorentina on deadline day.
