Belgium international Thibaut Courtois has returned to Chelsea this summer after spending three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid.
With the arrival of the Belgian and with Petr Cech already in the squad, Mourinho has some tough decisions to make before the start of the new season. But the Portuguese is not displeased with the situation in front of him.
“My situation for the season is fantastic”, the Portuguese told the club’s official site.
The former Real Madrid manager believes that he is lucky to have two of the best goalkeepers in the world in his squad and feels that “the situation is perfect”.

Mourinho added that selection headaches of this kind are a good thing for a manager and his job is to take tough decisions.
“For the coach, when we don’t have the players we are in trouble. When we have good players in numbers we are happy. We have to make decisions, yes, but we are paid to make decisions.
“One will play, and Chelsea are in safe hands for because they are both very good players.”
