Jose Mourinho wants to start from \u201cground zero\u201d at Chelsea and prove himself to supporters for a second time that he is still the Special One they knew.<\/p>\n

Mourinho signed a four-year deal on Monday to return to Stamford Bridge and immediately told fans he was coming back as a fan, not just as a manager.<\/p>\n

But the Portuguese will not fall back on past glories as he aims to build a side to rival his title-winning teams of 2005 and 2006.<\/p>\n

\"Mourinho: <\/p>\n

Mourinho: Signs 4-year deal at Chelsea yesterday<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI am not coming here to sleep on what I did in the past and be comfortable just because we have a great feeling and we have a great relation, I am not that kind of person and professional. I am very demanding of myself, I need of course the fans\u2019 support, but I want to start from ground zero.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI am not coming here to sleep on what I did in the past and be comfortable just because we have a great feeling and we have a great relation, I am not that kind of person and professional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very demanding of myself, I need of course the fans\u2019 support, but I want to start from ground zero.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to work hard again and build a different team from the team I built in the past, and I want to give everything I can to the club, to the owner and to the fans, forgetting a little bit that I was champion here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to have that pressure on myself like it is the first time I am here and I have to work hard and to make sure they have a reason to be happy with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mourinho is yet to remain at a single club for more than three full seasons but, at the age of 50, he hinted he may be ready to lay down roots in west London.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the same,\u201d he said. \u201cPhysically the same, but every day you have to think about yourself and about evolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have the same nature, but I am much more mature with a different approach to things, I am more ready to be in a club and stay for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mourinho also revealed it took just five minutes with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to agree his return.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was an easy decision. I met the boss, I met the owner and in five minutes after a couple of very short but pragmatic questions, we decided straight away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked the boss \u2018do you want me back?\u2019 and the boss asked me \u2018do you want to come back?\u2019 and in a couple of minutes, the decision was made.\u201d<\/p>\n
