Inter Milan v Chelsea: Jose Mourinho says Chelsea would have won more titles with him
'Chelsea have suffered in the last two years, and it's no coincidence that their decline happened after I left,' said Mourinho. [LNB]'We had a unique relationship as a manager, players and fans, and when you break that, it's not easy to fix. They've had a lot of coaches since and maybe some didn't have the mentality for the club. Maybe they tried to change too much of what we put in place. [LNB]'I knew there was no time for a long-term plan with the owner they have at Stamford Bridge. You must win the title in your first season or say bye-bye. I gave them what they needed but I always knew it wasn't a job that would last forever. Maybe they would have been better off sticking with me than changing manager when they did.'[LNB]Chelsea's only trophy since Mourinho's departure was last season's FA Cup, won under Guus Hiddink, one of four men who have managed the club since the Portuguese left Stamford Bridge. [LNB]Mourinho faced Ancelotti as rivals in Milan before the Italian's move to the Premier League and the pair were at odds from the moment Mourinho arrived in the city. [LNB]'Ancelotti is no friend of mine and this won't change,' said Mourinho. 'In England, you're shown respect if you're a foreign coach who comes in and offers his experience and knowledge. [LNB]'But in Italy, this respect only comes if you're born as an Italian. Someone like me, the foreigner, isn't considered worthy of being here. This is why I say I was happier working in England. [LNB]'Inter have asked me to try to win the Champions League for them, and I'll attempt to give them this - so they're stuck with me for a little while yet. Now we have to play an important couple of matches against Chelsea and this is obviously a very special game for me. [LNB]'But I'm a part of Chelsea's history forever and they'll always be a big part of me. Let's see if Ancelotti can finish his time at Chelsea with a record as good as mine.'[LNB]
