Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said he will not keep his Premier League winners' medal, but give it to his son Jose Jr.

The Portuguese boss famously threw the medals from his first two title wins into the Stamford Bridge crowd, with one of them later selling at auction for more than £16,000.

But Mourinho intends to hand this medal to his 15-year-old son, who is collecting memorabilia.

"My son now is collecting all my stuff," said Mourinho, whose side will lift the trophy after the game against at Sunderland on Sunday.

"He keeps everything. At that time he was too young for that, but in this moment he is collecting everything. Shirts, medals - he steals everything from me!"
