Mourinho Knew About Ferguson’s Retirement But Never Wanted Taking His Job.

The 50-year-old former Real Madrid handler was
earlier considered for the Old Trafford job before
David Moyes made away with it, but he said he was
always intent of returning to Stamford Bridge.
"I knew that Ferguson was retiring many months
ago," Maurinho said.
"I would have turned down every job in the world-
the Manchester United job, every one- for Chelsea."
Mourinho returned to Chelsea after taking charge at
Madrid for three years and has signed a four-year
deal with the West London outfit.
He insisted that a return to the club where he won
two Premier League titles before leaving in 2007 was
all that mattered to him at the trying period of his
stay at the Bernabeu, regardless of his awareness of
an impending Ferguson's retirement.
"I am so happy with his (Ferguson's) trust because it
was big news for the world- I can imagine that just a
very small circle around him knew that, and it was a
big responsibility for me to know that.
"Why do I know that? Because we are friends, so I am
his friend to know that he is going to retire, he is also
my friend to know that the club I want to coach in
England is Chelsea, Mourinho said.
"Of course I told him I want to come to Chelsea," he
added. "I would turn down every job in the world for
Chelsea."
