José Mourinho Signals Chelsea’s Title Ambitions Ahead of 2014-15 Premier League Season
London — José Mourinho has made it clear that Chelsea are serious contenders for the Premier League title in the upcoming 2014-15 season, a marked change from his stance last year when he dismissed the club’s chances.
Speaking at a press conference, the Chelsea manager expressed confidence in the squad’s strengthened lineup following key signings designed to boost competitiveness.
“Yes, we are title contenders. We have signed key players to make the team more competitive and we believe that will be the case,” Mourinho said. He added that the new additions “will allow the team to change dimension,” highlighting his belief that Chelsea have evolved into a stronger force.
Despite the optimism, Mourinho maintained a measured tone, refusing to guarantee victory in the league.
“I’m not going to say we’re going to win the league, I can’t, I respect this competition too much,” he cautioned, underscoring the fierce competition in the Premier League.
Chelsea’s shift in ambition reflects their desire to reclaim domestic dominance after a challenging previous season, with Mourinho aiming to steer the club back to the summit.
