REVEALED: The intense team talk Mourinho gave on his first day at Chelsea

Jose Mourinho promised to make Chelsea's players champions if they dedicated themselves to him on his first day at the club, William Gallas has revealed.

The Portuguese coach took over at Stamford Bridge in 2004 after winning the Champions League with Porto, labelling himself 'the Special One' during his first press conference in England.

He would go on to keep his word by winning two Premier League titles during his first three-year spell at Chelsea, with Gallas playing a key part in both before his transfer to Arsenal.
