Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay has told the London Evening Standard he wants José Mourinho to "stay 10 years."

Mourinho returned to Chelsea in 2013 on a four-year deal.

He said: "Having the security of José is great for me -- he knows the club, knows me. Last time he was here, I was chief operating officer and we worked well together.

"José can deal with the media in a different way from some of the other managers we've had. He takes the pressure not only away from the players but also from the club. He's very good at that and allows us to manage and me in particular to drive the club forward."
