Former Chelsea manager José Mourinho has almost taunted new Blues boss by saying winning at Stamford Bridge is easy.
According to the Daily Mail the current Tottenham boss made the remarks while speaking to a reporter and the Portuguese manager says winning at the London club is easy.
“I don’t think it’s very difficult to coach at Chelsea because I was champion three times, (Carlo) Ancelotti was champion, Antonio Conte was champion,” Mourinho told reporters on Wednesday.
Thomas Tuchel officially became the new Chelsea manager after the 47-year-old was appointed following the departure of club legend Frank Lampard and so far he hasn’t been doing too badly.
The German was confirmed in January as Frank Lampard’s successor after the club legend was sacked on Monday following an 18-month stint in charge.
Despite being sacked twice Chelsea’s over demanding owner Roman Abramovich, Mourinho is believes the financial backing available to Blues bosses means silverware should not be hard to come by.
“It cannot be very, very difficult because we win titles there.” Mourinho continued.
“I believe Chelsea always has great players and great squads and good coaches are happy to work with these clubs and with players that give you a very good opportunity to be successful and to win titles.
“Then I understand your question, and of course a coach needs time and needs stability and is a very good thing to feel stability.
“I’m not saying stability helps you sleep, I’m saying that stability gives you a different way of thinking and you are not just thinking about today, you are also thinking about tomorrow, you are also thinking the future.
“That’s the way it is. It’s Mr Abramovich’s club and you have to understand that it’s up to him to make his decisions.
“In my case, I was there in two different periods and I was champion in two different periods and I’m very happy to have been there before and have that opportunity.”
Tuchel will take charge of his third Chelsea game this week since replacing the sacked Frank Lampard in January.
