Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho receives Football Writers' Association Tribute Award

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho paid tribute to the support of those who had helped him reach the pinnacle of the game as he accepted the Football Writers' Association Tribute Award on Sunday night.

Mourinho would love to continue his career at Chelsea for 'many, many years' yet, and indicated he had no intentions of ever leaving the Premier League. He added: "The principles you have in relation to football and life are absolutely amazing. "I love this Chelsea Football Club, which has been the only club to have ever sacked me, we as a family belong to you (in) England. "I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belongs to me, and hopefully we will stay for many, many years." Mourinho joked: "It is not a threat, but if you sack me, I will stay in England and go to another club, a possible rival."
