Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed he and Roman Abramovich have repaired their relationship after clear-the-air talks last week.
Mourinho's future at Stamford Bridge had been the subject of intense speculation last season after an alleged rift between himself and owner
Abramovich.
The duo were believed to be at odds with each other, but Mourinho says the pair have sorted out their problems ahead of the new season.
"I had a very good and long meeting with Abramovich at Stamford Bridge last week," Mourinho told the News of the World.
"It left everything clear between us so there is no doubt, no doubt at all.
"I know what he thinks, I know what he feels, I know what he wants.
"And he knows me as a person, as a manager and he knows the way I work.
"It was an easy, long and enjoyable meeting and I was more than delighted - the air is clear again and there is no problem.
"We have a professional relationship and we understand each other."
Mourinho says he is content with life at Chelsea and hopes to see out his contract which still has three years to run.
"I am so happy here because England is at the top for football," added Mourinho.
"I am in my fourth season here and if I can carry on five, six, seven, eight years, then I will go on without a problem. I have no desire to change and try something different in Italy or Spain. I don't have that desire.
"After three years, I have bought a house in London and I am not renting anymore.
"I didn't do that because I wanted to sell next week or because I am thinking about leaving very, very soon. "I want to stay - and if Chelsea had wanted to make a change, they would have done it by now."

I think this news update is just another way to keep the Chelsea faithful happy. But I'm very sceptical over the rift in the first place, neither man spoke of having a rift, but information spread. I don't actually think I've ever heard Roman speak.
