Paulo Ferreira

Jose Mourinho is a very controversial coach who has a divided fan-base which certain supporters defending the decisions and actions that the Portuguese manager has done during his career but there are others who dislike Mourinho but the former Chelsea player Paulo Ferreira is one of those that supports the highly rated coach.

Paulo Ferreira used to perform in Stamford Bridge from 2004 until 2013 and the Portuguese defender worked alongside Jose Mourinho during that period of time. Ferreira knows a thing or two about the mentality of the Portuguese as the former Chelsea defender said that Mourinho wants to win it all and despite him having a bad reputation with certain players, Ferreira insists that everyone in Stamford Bridge would like to see Mourinho stay in charge for a long time.

“When you are at this club you want to win titles and for next season it will be the same. The
motivation is to win trophies. He wants to succeed and do well, for how long I do not know. I think everyone at the club wants him to stay for a long, long time.I think everyone would like to see him in control for many years but in football, anything can happen.” Former Chelsea defender, Paulo Ferreira said.

In Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge, he sealed the Premier League which is a major accomplishment for the English club as they had not won it since the 2009-10 season and after such a successful season, Mourinho was offered a contract extension by Chelsea as the Portuguese signed a new 4 year contract where he will be earning €8.5 million each season.

Mourinho is one of the best paid managers in the world along with Pep Guardiola and the Portuguese coach has to continue winning major trophies in order to not lose the trust that he has gained from the club owner and the supporters of Chelsea.
