Mour silverware on the cards

12 April 2012

Jose Mourinho fully intends to use both hands to show off his trophy-gathering exploits at Chelsea in future following his five-finger salute on Sunday.

Having stated firmly on Friday the only way he will be leaving Stamford Bridge will be at the end of his contract in 2010, or when he is sacked, Mourinho celebrated Sunday's Carling Cup triumph over Arsenal by waving five fingers into the Cardiff air - to signify the five trophies he has won since his arrival in the summer of 2004.

"I wasn't waving at anyone," Mourinho said. "It was five fingers for five trophies we have won in two and a half years; Premiership, Premiership, Carling Cup, Carling Cup and Community Shield. Next time, maybe I will use another hand."

When asked whether he felt the club's hierarchy appreciated the work he has done during his time at Chelsea, Mourinho tellingly skirted round the question.

"The fans are fantastic to me. They know the happy moments we are living together. The players are fantastic too," he said.

"A club that gives me a contract until 2010 must be happy. If they were not, they would not give me a contract until 2010."
