The former Chelsea boss was speaking before his successor Avram Grant was sacked by the Stamford Bridge club.

Mourinho: "In my philosophy it was a very bad season for Chelsea because in football 'almost' means defeat and Chelsea almost won the Carling Cup, almost won the Champions League and almost won the Premier League. Almost is nothing.

"After two titles per season for the last three years there were zero titles this season, which in my philosophy means a really bad season. Maybe in the philosophy of a loser this was a great season, which I respect.

"I believe that after an empty season new success will come to Chelsea. And I will always be a Chelsea supporter."
