Your final thoughts on Mourinho…
@SuperKaay: "Matured & articulate."
@holla_dimeji: "Jose Mourinho is really a changed person and his 2nd tenure Chelsea will be great. He likes extracting the best out of players."
@rafayb7: "He's #TheHappyOne now. Still got that style and charisma to woo the media. The future seems so secure with Jose now."
