Rafa Banitez Refused to Endorse Mourinho as his Chelsea successor

Current Chelsea manager Rafa Banitez refused to endorse Real Madrid Jose Mourinho as his Chelsea successor, Banitez says rumours of Jose Mourinho returning to Chelsea will not distract him from nailing Basel for Europa semi-final second leg.

He said: ''it's not my business. i have to concentrate on this game. That's it. I think it's quite important.'' Every manager has his own way of doing things but mine is just to concentrate on the next game ''it's not my business whether Mourinho is loved in England. My business is to beat Basel and reach the Europa League final.. I think that smart of him.

He cont! When i signed for Chelsea i wanted to do a professional job as possible and i think i have done this from the first day. Now we will try to stay as high as possible in the league table and to win a trophy.
That would be great for me and everyone involved at the club.'' Qualifying for the champions league has always been our priority and i am positive we will be there next season.'' Am sure most blues fans can't wait to see the Spaniard leave.
