Every kid is certainly got a right to play and the ‘Special One’, Jose Mourinho together with his Chelsea entourage managed to inspire Ghanaian children to do just that.

And the Chelsea coach was all too pleased with the clubs humanitarian work in Ghana courtesy their global charity partner, Right To Play.

Mourinho sees the humanitarian angle to his job more as a human face of great value to the football club, and says great football clubs cannot be borne out of only trophies, cups and big wins on the field of play.

The Chelsea manager was talking at a conference for the Ghanaian media to launch Chelsea's visit in partnership with Right to Play.

“The most important thing is that Chelsea are moving in the right direction because to be a big club, we don't need to just chase things like cups and victories,' Mourinho said.

“This project is very important for Chelsea and a great institution like Right to Play but is more important for the countries where we go and the kids where we give some happiness and some dreams.”

After the media briefing, Jose Mourinho led the Chelsea team which also included former captain, Marcel Desailly to the El-Wak Stadium in the Ghanaian capital, Accra to hold coaching clinics for young players.
