Chelsea's Jose Mourinho dismisses Manchester United tears

Jose Mourinho insists that he did not want to take charge of Manchester United last summer and is happy at Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports that he broke down in tears when he found out that he has been overlooked for the managerial post at Manchester United.

In Diego Torres's book Prepare to Lose: The Mourinho Era, it was claimed that the current Chelsea boss cried at being snubbed for the Old Trafford job in favour of David Moyes, who left Everton to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson last summer.

"I think the person who wrote that book shouldn't write books," Sky Sports News quotes the Portuguese as saying. "He should write books for kids using his imagination. I am where I want to be. I want to go nowhere else. I have the job I want to have, I don't have another job.

"When I left Porto I wanted to come to England because at that time there was no Chelsea, I had no emotional connections with any club. When I left Chelsea, I wanted only Italy or Spain, not another English club.

"After Real Madrid I wanted England and if possible, Chelsea. It's the only time I've said this country and this specific club. If not Chelsea, then I'd have been in England at another club, but when the door at my club opened for me, I had the job I wanted to have."

Mourinho parted company with Real Madrid to return to Chelsea last summer.
