Report: Jose Mourinho to be offered bumper new Chelsea contract

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will reportedly be offered a bumper two-year contract extension by Roman Abramovich after guiding the Blues to their first Premier League title in five years.

The Portuguese coach is already the highest-paid boss in the Premier League on a contract until 2017, but his success will earn him a better-paid deal until 2019, according to the Evening Standard.

It is said that nothing is yet formal, but with Mourinho saying he wants to stay at Chelsea "for as long as they want me", Abramovich could soon make the move to tie down one of the world's top managers.

Sunday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace secured Chelsea's fourth top-flight crown in 10 years, three of which have been under Mourinho.
