José Mourinho

Famous quotes by Jose Mourinho:

"I'm an open person and I always like to communicate."

"I'm aware of the record and I don't want to break the record just to give him a rest,"

"We had a solid defense and our midfield was very good. I am very happy. But for me it is not really being top."

"We are top because Manchester United and Charlton didn't play,"

"For sure he is not sleeping so well,"

"For me the most important thing in my life is love. I think you have to be in love with your family, with your job, with the people who work for you. If you are not in love with your wife you have to divorce. If you are not in love with your kids you are not a human being so you have to kill yourself, if you are not in love with your job you must change your job."

"We are on top at the moment but not because of the club's financial power. We are in contention for a lot of trophies because of my hard work."

"Maybe when I turn 60... I'll have the power to speak to people and make them tremble a bit"

"There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third."

"I told Mr Ferguson United didn't deserve to leave with nothing."

"I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch."

"So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked."

"Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings."

"I am Jose Mourinho and I don't change. I arrive with all my qualities and my defects."

"In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents."

"When you just work tactically, in pure football sessions, you can see the way they can think football."

"I followed an Italian manager and it cannot be easy when you follow a manager who thinks very differently."

"In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto."

"So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give."

"The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20."
