Jose steels Chelsea for big challenges ahead

Manager not resting on laurels after clinching Premier League crown

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes his newly crowned Premier League champion will face a challenge just to secure a top-four finish next season due to the English top flight's competitiveness.

Chelsea claimed its first league title since 2010 on Sunday when Eden Hazard's goal on the cusp of halftime secured a 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace that gave it an unassailable lead at the top of the table.
