Some Of Jose Mourinho Lovely Quotes, So Lovely And Interesting!

Welcome to the Jose Mourinho page – a tribute
to one of the best managers in contemporary
football, the self-annointed ‘special one’ and
master of mind games. He is the king motivator,
the master baiter, and he has been, for certain
periods of his career, the manifestation of God
himself (to Chelsea fans who haven’t seen better,
mind you). On regular days, he plays the Devil
with more aplomb and poise (and I dare say
reliability) than any other public figure that I’ve
seen.
Now that we’ve got the compliments and titles
out of the way, here’s a look at what’s in store
for you. You get unlimited access to….
The most ‘complete’ collection of Jose Mourinho
quotes. Yea, take THAT, Wikipedia.
Mourinho has always been a manager that has
brought out curiosity (and hate) in managers and
fans of other teams- the Portugeezer clearly has
talent for the job he does, but his constant shows
of cockiness in the press make him a person that
interests, amuses and brings out the urge to see
him smashed in the b*llocks by those in the
football world.
Throughout his time in England,
Mourinho has been a godsend for press reporters,
as nearly every other day they were given a tasty
sound-bite to snack on. From Mourinho
pronouncing himself ‘the special one’ upon his
arrival, to his recent “eggs and omelettes” quote,
there have been quite a few good ones in his time
at Chelsea.
For now, enjoy the quotes, and bookmark this
page in case you need to come back and get a
gem from the Special One’s vault of special
quotes.

football dictionary.” – When he was unveiled as

ship in England and Inter was a great ship in
Italy. Now I’m at Real Madrid, which is
considered the biggest ship on the planet.” –

managed to live with the weight of that pressure,
and already did a lot.” – While speaking at the
Doctorate Honoris Causa degree award ceremony.

Chelsea. One way is in June 2010 when I finish
my contract and if the club doesn’t give me a

are treated in a different way to other clubs.
