JOSE Mourinho has spoken candidly about his exit from Chelsea last year, saying he harbours no bad feelings about the way he left the club.
Chelsea sacked Mourinho in December 2015 after the Portuguese coach, who was in his second spell at the club, oversaw nine Premier League defeats which left the then-defending champions hovering above the relegation zone.
Mourinho went on to take over at Manchester United, who will play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Sunday, but despite admitting he was "lucky" to have gotten the job at Old Trafford, the 53-year-old revealed Chelsea still hold a special place in his heart.
"I don't think they want to, but even if they want to, they couldn't delete me from Chelsea history. They belong to my history too. No bad feelings," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"The owner, he decided to sack me, the fans, they have no power. They show day by day, match after match, that they wanted me, but in this profile of club, the fans have no power.
"In some clubs, especially in some Latin countries, the format of the club, the fans have real power on the board and with the president and owners, but here they have no power so Mr Abramovich decided to sack me, but I left with not one bad word about anyone or anybody at the club."
He added: "When I leave a club when in two different periods I gave titles and gave the fans some of the best moments that they have had then you leave with the feeling 'I have done my job'."
