Mourinho: I am the 'Happy One'

Jose Mourinho described himself as "the happy one" after being officially unveiled as Chelsea's manager for the second time.

The Portuguese, who led Chelsea to back-to-back titles during his initial spell at the club between 2004 and 2007, has signed a new four-year deal to be the Blues' new manager after leaving Real Madrid in the summer.
Mourinho famously described himself as a "special one" at his first unveiling nine years ago, but he was a bit more restrained this time. Speaking to about 250 journalists at Stamford Bridge, the 50-year-old said: "I am the happy one. I am very happy."
He added: "Time flies. A lot of things happened in my professional life in the last nine years, but I have the same nature, I am the same person, I have the same heart, I have the same kind of emotions related to my passion for football and my job, but I am a different person in this moment.
"If I have to describe myself, I would describe myself as a very happy person because it's the first time I arrive in a club where I already love the club."
Mourinho left the club by mutual agreement six years ago, with many observers pointing to a perceived breakdown in his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich.
