Jose Mourinho declared himself 'the Special One' when he was unveiled as Chelsea manager nine years ago but at his second coming today the returning hero insisted he was simply 'the Happy One'.

The Portuguese was officially unveiled as Chelsea manager for the second time at a press conference at Stamford Bridge on Monday afternoon and answered questions from the media for the first time since leaving Real Madrid last month.

Mourinho's first spell at Stamford bridge appeared to end under a cloud after an apparent breakdown in relations with owner Roman Abramovich, but he insisted today that there was no bust-up and that he would not be back at the club had the pair separated on bad terms.

Mourinho said he wanted his players to 'work hard work with quality' and know that 'the club is much more important than us. Without the club we are nobody.'

Mourinho left the club by mutual agreement six years ago, with many observers pointing to a perceived breakdown in his relationship with owner Abramovich.

On the widely reported breakdown in his relationship with the Russian, Mourinho denied that he had been sacked and insisted that he had always been on goof terms with Chelsea's trigger-happy owner.

He said: 'First of all, that's not true.

'I read and I keep hearing that I was fired, I was sacked, we had a complete breakdown of our relationship - that was not true.

'Many didn't believe that but it was a mutual agreement. We thought it was best for both of us, for me and the club.'

Mourinho went on to win the 2010 Champions League with Inter Milan, while the Blues themselves won the competition two years later.

'It was a sad moment but I don't regret that decision because after that I went to Inter, where I had probably the best moment of my career,' said Mourinho.

'After that I went to Madrid where we still have the record of the best team in Spanish history.

'For Chelsea things went well too, after that Chelsea were European champions for the first time.

'It was difficult for both of us but it was made by mutual agreement. Only because there was never a breakdown of the relationship is it possible for me to be here today.

'I think I'm back because we are in the best moments of our careers and ready to work together again. There are much better conditions at this time to succeed and have what we want, stability.'

He added: 'My relationship with Roman has to be private. Privacy is crucial. We all want the same. We are (heading) in the same direction. I'm more than happy to follow this philosophy for the club.'

Mourinho also insisted he would now face higher pressure from fans due to his previous success at the club.

'I want to make it very clear that I didn't choose a comfortable position for my career at a place where fans love me. It's the opposite,' he said. 'Expectations are higher now. The club has a special fan base. It's a special club because the fans never forget those who did the most for the club in the past. 

'But I want to be loved for what I can do from now.'fter spending less than three years at both Inter and Real.

The Portuguese has always spoken of his love of the English game and it appears he is now hoping to settle in the Barclays Premier League.

'I am where I want to be so now it's up to me to work hard to show my club that I deserve to be here for a long time,' he said.

'We have a contract of four years, in the first stage I hope we can look to the last day of his contract and if in the end the club is happy and wants me to stay I will be more than happy to do that.'

He added: 'I think the culture in football is something very, very important for a manager.

'I did what I wanted to do and as I was saying since six, seven, eight months ago I wanted to go where I really like it very much and I was in a position to say which one is a league I prefer, which one is the club I prefer, which one is the mentality I prefer.

'First of all I decided that I was going to leave my previous club, that was like the trigger and I needed to make that decision and I made that decision.

'After that it was a question of analysing the situation, analyse the possibilities and make the decision which I believe is the best decision for my happiness.

'So when the Chelsea situation appears really and strongly, decision made.'

Mourinho is keen to re-establish club captain John Terry as a key figure in the team, after the central defender was marginalised at times last season under interim boss Rafael Benitez.

'From me, (there will be) not one word about Benitez's decisions, on John or any other player,' he said. 'What I can say is about the future - (I'll) meet John in the first week of July and try to get the best out of him.

'I know what he can give, let's try to make him again a very important player which he couldn't be last season.'

Terry's situation was mirrored in Madrid last season as Mourinho left Real and Spain captain Iker Casillas on the substitutes' bench for much of the season.

But the coach insists there was no fall-out with the goalkeeper and that he will assess each player on his merits.

'I play the players I think are the best for the team,' he said. 'If I think somebody deserves to play, he has to play. If somebody has a big profile, a big stature, a big career, I cannot give him a privilege.

'It was a football decision, I decided for one player and not the other and it is up to the player to accept it or not.

'All my decisions are based on meritocracy, then I can sleep well.'
