Benfica head coach, Jose Mourinho, has boldly claimed that he remains Chelsea’s most successful manager in the club’s history.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of Benfica’s UEFA Champions League tie with the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, Mourinho insisted that his legacy at Chelsea stands unmatched.
According to him, until another manager leads the London side to four Premier League titles, he will continue to hold the crown.
Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles and several domestic trophies — including the FA Cup — during two stints at the club, reflected on Chelsea’s rich history of success.
“Chelsea is a winning machine that has, in the past two or three years, had a moment without trophies,” Mourinho said.
“They won something before my time, then my team kept winning, and then a transformation of new teams, new coaches, and more trophies. European trophies, the biggest one and the Champions League.
I am the biggest one until someone wins four.”
