It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future - for the fans, the players and the club. I said when I returned here two years ago that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed. It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time.''
Mourihno will lead his side out in their season opener against Swansea on Saturday at 17:30 BST.
