Jose Mourinho wants to stay at Man Utd for 15 years as he looks to build a dynasty

JOSE MOURINHO is prepared to stay at Manchester United for 15 years – as long as he deserves to be there.
The Portuguese enjoyed a successful first campaign at the helm at Old Trafford.

Three pieces of silverware alongside a return to the Champions League proved a productive start to life in Manchester.

Having signed a three-year deal with an option for a further 12 months last summer, Mourinho has already indicated his willingness to extend his contract.

The 54-year-old’s longest stint at any club in his managerial career so far, though, has only been a little over three years – his first spell at Chelsea.

At Manchester United, however, ex-Real Madrid boss Mourinho is projecting a long-term future, having secured his dream job.
While emulating Sir Alex Ferguson’s achievements at the club is a tough ask, Jose Mourinho is determined to remain for the long haul.

“I am ready for this,” Mourinho told ESPN FC.

“I am ready for the next 15 [years], I would say. Here? Yes, why not?

“I have to admit that it is very difficult because of the pressure around our jobs, everybody putting pressure on managers and things that people say – that we have to win, but in reality only one can win and every year it is getting more difficult.
“But what I try to do in the club is show that my work goes further than the football results, that it goes to areas that people don’t think of as a manager’s job.

“In my vision, my job is much more than what I do on the pitch and the results that my team gets at the weekend.




“This club, for so many years, was Sir Alex. People got used to it; people understood the great consequences of that stability.

“After David [Moyes] and Mr. [Louis] Van Gaal, I come to my second year and hopefully I can stay and give that stability that the club wants.

“I will try, but again, I will have to try to deserve that, but that’s what I try every day that I work.”
Mourinho admits the chances are he will not get his wish because managers like him get sacked at the drop of hat when instant success is not achieved or maintained.

The Portuguese believes that his experience at Chelsea, when he was sacked less than six months after winning the 2015-16 Premier League title, highlights the near-impossible task of remaining in a job on a long-term basis.

He said: “You have huge success in one year, the next year you don’t have success and you are out.

“It happened to me at Chelsea, it happened to Ranieri at Leicester, it will happen to many others. Nowadays, people look much more on the short-term.

“I think Sir Alex’s career is unique. I don’t think it is possible to emulate. Nobody is going to be in the same club for so many years, be in the same league for so many years.

“I think (Arsene) Wenger will be the last with a similar story in terms of staying at a club for so many years, but what I try to do in modern football nowadays is to try to deserve to stay in the club, because in this moment, it is about success.

“You have success, you stay in the club. You don’t have success, you don’t stay.”
