The Blues boss revealed on Friday that his attempts to seek clarification on his future from the Chelsea board had been met with silence. But for now the Portuguese has his hands more than full, as he seeks to take another major step in Chelsea's bid for an unprecedented quadruple.

Mourinho said: "If in this moment I was not playing Champions League and FA Cup and all of these things, if I was just coming here in the morning, training and going home with not a lot of matches, maybe I would have time to think about the future."

Mourinho claimed he was willing to commit to the Stamford Bridge club beyond the end of the current season if only his services would continue to be required.

And he admits his team's hectic schedule at present has left him with little time to think about the future as Chelsea continue their relentless quest for glory.

He said: "Because of our situation in the competitions. In this moment you don't have much time to spend with other things.

"Success is about groups. When we fail I accept the manager is the face of the failure, when we win I don't accept the manager is the face of the success.

"The players have been absolutely fantastic. The injured guys, the way they recovered, they way they go to the team and perform immediately.

"The boys like Frank Lampard, Ricardo Carvalho, Didier Drogba, these people that play since the first day of the season have been unbelievable.

"After that everybody is giving his maximum. The season has been difficult but great. This is a very, very special group."
