The eccentric boss hurled not one, but two medals into the Matthew Harding Stand after Chelsea crushed Manchester United 3-0 to seal a second consecutive title -- Mourinho's fourth in a row after winning the Portuguese league twice with Porto.

Trophy-laden Mourinho said there was only so much silverware he could keep his hands on.

"I kept a Premiership one for myself. I have one from the last season, it's the same medal," the Blues boss said after the match. "I want only one. I cannot keep everything I have.

"I think the crowd, especially the people behind that goal, the Matthew Harding Stand, they are the best supporters we have.

"I felt one of the reasons we were champions was because at home, we have an incredible record of one single draw and they had a big part in that so I threw the medal to share it with them.

"In Porto I kept a medal for me. It was a Champions League medal, it was only one and I was guessing, maybe in the future it could be difficult to get another one!"

He said the fan who grabbed his medal out of the air had either a splendid souvenir of Chelsea's third title in their 101-year history or something to auction online.

"The medal was for everybody but the person who got the medal is a lucky guy and goes home with a fantastic memory. Or goes to eBay and makes a fortune."

Asked why he threw his replacement medal into the crowd, he replied: "Because somebody gave me a second one!"

He added: "It is a fantastic feeling, a second title for Chelsea and a fourth for me and my people.

"We know one day we have to lose the championship but for now it's fantastic. To win successive titles is not easy but we have been ahead from the start of the season and I think we deserve it."
