Jose Mourinho

So this Chelsea fan sold his car just to sit close to Mourinho.

Wow! I wish I could get Mourinho’s reaction to this. He wanted to sit next to the Chelsea manager at a tennis tournament; the World Tour Finals between Andy Murray and Roger Federer, ticket was damn too expensive (I think) so, he sold his car.
Then came the moment he had been waiting for. The world had to know the extent he had gone just to sit with the Special One. He decided to tell his story via a banner 
I want to believe Mourinho saw the banner and was like…..Stupid? ….most likely.

Jose Mourinho reveals his conversation with Eden Hazard's father.

Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho in an interview with Gary Neville for the Telegraph, revealed the conversation he had with 23 year-old Belgian/Chelsea star, Eden Hazard’s dad.

“I had a conversation with his father. His father told me something that I loved. I don’t think it’s a problem to tell you. He said – ‘I have a wonderful son. He is a wonderful father. He is a wonderful husband. I want him to change, because I want him to be a wonderful player. But I don’t want him to change a lot. I don’t want him to become – and he used the name of two or three players. I just want him to be the same husband, the same father, the same son, with a little but more tenacity, mental aggression, ambition, personal ego. A little bit more. And you are the guy to give it to him.’

Mourinho continued, “We can never transform these fantastic players and men into a competitive animal, a competitive machine. Not even his father wants [that]. We have just to bring him to a different level, working hard in training, which he’s doing.”

Roy Keane hits out at Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho in recent interview.

Aston Villa assistant Manager, Roy Keane is yet to settle scores with his former boss, Sir Alex Ferguson. And from the interview he granted reporters during the launch of his Autobiography (The Second Half), he’s still bitter, mad at him and possibly not interested in mending fences.

His grouse exactly. “He was never critical when we were winning trophies and he was getting his new contracts, getting this and that named after him – Sir this, and whatever else. He made millions of pounds out of it. He got his statues. He got his stand named after him. To criticise people who brought him success was just ridiculous.”

And on Jose Mourinho, he branded the Chelsea manager’s attempt at shaking his hands before the end of Chelsea/Aston Villa game few weeks back, disgraceful.

“The game is still going on, You wouldn’t do that on a Sunday morning, you would get knocked out. “I don’t mind all that [mind games] but the game is still going on. It’s disgraceful. I’ve seen him doing it to other managers; it is a disgrace.”

'I was called a traitor and a mole' – Iker Casillas opens up on stormy relationship with Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid


Looks like Jose Mourinho had a turbulent relationship with all the players at Real Madrid. The spanish club’s goalkeeper Iker Casillas has also opened up on his whirlwind relationship with the Chelsea Manager. According to the Spaniard, the problem started at a certain Christmas period and it became worse after Casillas’ wife, Sara Carbonero a TV presenter reported a dressing room unrest on air.



“In the summer of 2012, our relationship was good, we talked a lot, but then there was a change around Christmas. The team wasn’t doing well and my relationship with Mourinho became poor. We had disagreements, but with respect.”



“Mourinho didn’t say anything to me about Sara’s words, but it was easy to notice a change in our relationship. Soon, I got injured and after two weeks, I noticed the attacks. I was called a traitor and a mole.



“I feel it was a bit unfair to call me a mole but I have to understand that and accept some people’s opinions.

It was hard to be called a mole and I like to think that neither Mourinho nor the president Florentino Perez really believed this.”



He continued, “I have the utmost respect for Mourinho but when there is one thing bothering you or one thing you don’t like, you have to discuss it. We never told Florentino that we wanted Mourinho to leave.



“He’s one of the best coaches I’ve had. A guy with character. It hurts me when my loyalty to Real Madrid is questioned – this club have given me everything.”

"….Don't come back Please". Mourinho tells Wenger during heated touchline row

I know that one idea on your head, that Mourinho told Arsene Wenger not to face his team again? Nah! Not it. He has no power over that. So, the 2014/2015 series between the old foes have begun. Sit back, relax and read. The reaction is from the former Madrid Manager, we’ll wait and see if the frenchman will come up with his this week or some…day.

To those who watched The Blues. Vs Gunners game which ended 2-0 in favour of the former yesterday, saw the heated touchline bust-up between the two managers and were itching to hear what they were saying, the Portugal ace has revealed it.

He told Sky Sports 1 “For me, it is over. But the technical area is very clear – I have mine, he has his and he cannot come to mine, especially to put pressure on the referee to give a red card to my player. So I just told him ‘leave my technical area and don’t come back please’.”

On the referee’s performance, the Special one said: “I think the referee, from a technical point of view, had a fantastic performance in a difficult, technical, fast match with lots of runs behind – also the linesmen had a difficult game and I think they did a fantastic job.”

Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho resume feud

The feud between Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho has resumed and from the look of things, there’s no ending to it at least pretty soon. It all started few days back when the Portuguese coach was asked to comment the CR7 to Chelsea rumours.

The Special One’s reply wasn’t really surprising. “You would not find us hanging around together. The relationship does not exist, but the remembrance of his impact.” He replied

Ronaldo on the other hand can never be bothered about his former boss.

“Mourinho? What he says is not important. I only think about Real Madrid. I want to help them, the other things I do not care about.” He added.

Forget It!- Jose Mourinho dismisses reports that Cristiano Ronaldo is joining Chelsea.

Albeit nothing is impossible in football but not like Cristiano Ronaldo joining Chelsea. What for? Trust me, the 29 year -old would rather re-unite with his former club than “face” his former boss again.

When asked if The Blues are really planning a surprise move for the 2013 Ballon D’or winner, Jose Mourinho wouldn’t waste much words. “Forget It” was all he uttered.

Caption this photo of Jose Mourinho and Samuel Eto'o.

It’s not like there’s something really special about this photo or a hug but if you got Samuel Eto’o’s “fool” and “puppet” memo few months back, (and then the Thank You remark this week) you would understand why I shared this photo.

It’s their second contact (the first was a handshake) since Samuel left Chelsea. And seeing them smoke peace pipe is so super cool. Mourinho’s tongue though…..

By the way, can we have the Special One and CR7 do this?

Cristiano Ronaldo reveals the only coach he has friendship with.

I know it can never be Jose Mourinho, his relationship with his fellow country man during the latter’s reign at the Bernabeu was a disaster, dunno if it has remained so.

Newly-crowned UEFA Best Player in Europe, Cristiano Ronalso has worked under a number of coaches in his career; former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini and renowned Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, but he’s friend with just one of these- Sir Alex Ferguson.

Excerpts from his interview with Spanish publication AS. “Out of all the coaches I worked under, the only friendship I have is with Sir Alex Ferguson – no one else… I worked under Pellegrini and Ancelotti, with whom I get along really well. I’m not in football to make friends, only to triumph.”

Samuel Eto'o has some good words for Mourinho

You can never understand Eto’o. One minute he’s ballistic the other minute he’s something else. Months after he labelled his former boss, Jose Mourinho a “fool” and a “puppet” for making comments regarding his age, the newly-signed Everton striker has thanked the Portuguese Manager for integrating him into the Premier League.
The Cameroonian international told reporters, “The only thing I have to say about Jose Mourinho is to thank him. It’s down to him that I had the opportunity to be accepted and integrated into the Premier League and I want to thank him for that. I’m not particularly concerned that it’s against my [old] team [on Saturday]. The important thing is to integrate into my new team-mates’ way of playing and get ready for that match. If I don’t feature it’s just important to get ready.”
