Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his return to the club is not a negative move.

The Portuguese coach took charge of the Blues for a second time earlier this month, having left Stamford Bridge in 2007.

Despite some reservations over whether Mourinho should have come back, he is confident that it will be a success.

"I want to think that the club knows me very well and I know the club very well," he told Chelsea's official website.

"I don't think that should work negatively, it should be a plus not a minus. It should be something that helps us do well and not the other way."

Mourinho won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup during his initial three-year spell at Chelsea.
