Although the name Jose Mourinho has been almost synonymous with the Chelsea club, he revealed that he is willing to manage another Premier League club when his time with the Blues comes to an end but his priority will always be the Stamford Bridge club.

Back when Mourinho was still with the Inter Milan in the Italian Serie A and Real Madrid in La Liga, the Portuguese manager has been linked with a move to the Gunners, Manchester United and Liverpool before choosing the Stamford Bridge in 2013.

"If it had to be, yes. My priority will always be Chelsea and I never think about the interest of others. But I know football and know I won't be here five, eight, ten years if I don't manage to win. Of course not. That's not my essence as a coach, because I don't like to live in those comfort zones. It doesn't fit my personality." Mourinho said when asked if he would join another English team, according a report in Mirror.

The Portuguese manager added that he will stay with Chelsea as long as the club wants him to stay and there is no other club, country nor investment that motivates him. Thus far, Mourinho won two Premier League titles, two League Cup titles, Community Shield and the FA Cup.

It is unlikely for Mourinho to be offered one of the other top English jobs because his relationship with Arsenal remains sour after he called Arsene Wenger a specialist failure according to a report in The Guardian.

Back when he was starting as the Chelsea manager, Mourinho also endured a difficult relationship with the Liverpool boss at that time, Rafa Benitez, which created a rift between him and the Mereyside club. As such, Mourinho's association with Chelsea makes the prospect of him managing another English club difficult to acknowledge.

On the other hand, Mourinho is well-placed to take over the Portuguese national team at some point, according to Yahoo Eurosport. But then again, it will be interesting to see how Mourinho's mindset develops with his current reign.
