Mourinho literally won the league, Europa League, and Champions League with Porto Ended the invincible team's dominance in the midst of Ferguson's United and European champions Liverpool. Twice on the spin. He got 95 points, 15 goals conceded, 72 scored, only 1 loss in his FIRST season. The very same ‘invincible’ team was trying to retain their title. He made the 433 more popular in England & both Wenger and Fergie switched from their famous 442’s to a 433 in the following years. Continued to win with Inter, won the only treble in the history of Italian football in his second season, on the way he stopped arguably the best team in history in Pep’s Barcelona. Then went to Real Madrid and stopped Barcelona again, which felt like the impossible job, and wonLa Liga with the most goals scored in a season ever. Not mentioning bringing the prestige back in Europe forReal Madrid. They haven't progressed past the R16 in the last several seasons before he came. He reached 3consecutive CL Semi Finals and in 11-12 narrowly loston pens when Ronaldo, Kaka, and Ramos missed. It wasn't to be. Laid down the foundations for Madrid's dominance in the following years Returned to Chelsea and won the league, then went to United and finished second, and won 3 trophies with a United backline of Young, Jones, Smalling, Darmian/Valencia. We all know the internal problems he faced and it’s clear to everyone now that he wasn’t backed. Reached a final with Spurs that he didn’t play and at Roma he won a European trophy for the first time since 30 years for the club, and reached another Euro final a year later that he lost on pens when the referee decided Roma wouldn’t win that day. LEGEND of the sport
Media loves to peddle the anti-Mourinho narrative but any rational person with brain cells can see that he's been one of the best managers that's ever lived and while not at his peak, is STILL very good. Had he got the United job in 2013, the club would be very different from what it is now today.
He’d have still failed. We had the glazers running the show. Jose came second to city 17 points behind them and what did the glazers do? Bought Fred, Dalot and Lee Grant.
@@Slacktionman nah. The reason united went into decline is moyes coming in and sacking all the backroom staff. And filling it with mediocre yes men from everton. Some of them like john murtough are still lingering on
haha you are clueless. Admit it, you never watched his Roma team did you? Yet you chat absolute wank about how he is "STILL very good". No he isn't. His Roma side were appalling to watch. He yet again took the team backwards with negative, outdated football (throwing in Matic whilst selling more dynamic midfielders as per usual). He averaged a point per game. Fell out with the creative players - again, as per usual. You need to wake up, it isn't 2004 any more. He is a dinosaur, wouldn't get in the top 50 coaches of modern day football. He had his time at the top. Considering him a top coach in todays game just because of past achievements has about as much validity as the dopes that still think Ronaldo is a world class striker.
Honestly Jose’s Madrid vs Pep’s Barca was the peak of football. The levels and intensity of that rivalry will never be topped. La Liga has fallen so hard since then. It felt like you couldn’t blink or you miss a great moment
It was the peak of football rivalry indeed. There was a certain period when they played 3-4 matches in a span of a month but we never has enough of it.
Na I disagree I hated it. Went beyond football for me. Was more about the violence, the fighting, the abuse and trash talk more about the games. Was a poisonous period in football.
Jose is right about Real and Barca back in his days. It was the absolute peak of La Liga and some legendary players in those two teams. The world did stop to watch them play.
You cant manufacture or replicate those moments. They come by via good fortune-whether it is Jordan in the NBA in the 90s or Messi vs Ronaldo in the 2010s.
Hasn’t Mourinho been sacked by a mid-table side in Italy? Let’s see where JM goes now, if any big clubs will still hire him. He left a complete rebuild required situation at Utd.
love that quote. nowdays people love to see at statistics. surely statistics help you understand football but football isnt math, its played on the pitch. you need to see their play to get the complete picture
He's right about those times in Spain. The world stopped to watch the games between Barça and Real, and there was a lot of games between both teams. I could feel the tension even watching it on TV. Such good times.
@@mStargazinReal Madrid need Mbappe and Barca need Haaland. Until then, you’re right, it’s just not the same. I don’t even think it would be if both of those players signed for Madrid and Barca. Barca most likely couldn’t afford Haaland anyway
@@cccbeats_ Real doesn't need Mbappe that much, and Barca needs more than one Haaland. With young players Real have, they could easily compete for UCL for atleast next 5 years, but problems of Barca is much bigger than just buying players. El clasico will not be the same, but matches like Real - MC can replace it (for foreigner audience)
@@sokratesowly2256 Barca really needs that one "guy" but even If they had him Messi's legacy is way too crazy. If the new guy went 3 years back #1in the league to back and a European title they would still say " but he's not Messi". Real Madrid did the Right thing by letting Ronaldo leave a little early AND finding multiple young replacements instead of putting everything on one pkayer.
As a Roma fan we will always thank you and remember you for everything you did for us. The firing was unjustified. The ownership in 3 years never even attempted to buy decent players, the team was mid and it was their fault, not yours, and you payed the price. Good luck for you next adventure Jose!
Yeah... having players like Abraham, Dybala, Belotti, Lukaku in a final third must be a nightmare. You should try with Zirkzee, Saelemaekers, Orsolini...
@@andjelkozlotvor you mean having Lukaku and Dybala half the times? We dont have the other 2 currently. Yeah, that's clearly not enough to be competitive, expecially if the rest of the team sucks. Dont talk for the sake of doing so dude.
@user-cr1iz8fw6h he can't talk about it u melt. He had contract till June with Roma and they are still paying his wages and there is no way Roma haven't put a NDA in their severance agreement
Jose is so loved here in Africa that in my house we only follow a football club where he coaches and once is gone we leave the club, even till AS Roma that just messed up. We love Jose he is the man. Will name my soon Jose because of him.
Thank you Jose for everything you have done here in Rome. You were the only coach who spoke like us Rome fans and I will never forget this. The players didn't understand that they had a leader like you who could change their mentality. Thanks for everything Mister
To get Jose so soon after Roma exit on your podcast was massive. And what a podcast that was!👏Mourinho will go down as one of the greatest managers of all time in my book.Mad respect🙌
That Barça and Real was... unique. It was like a movie. Nowadays its Guardiola crushing with city but no rival in my opinion. There is not that super time like ronaldo vs messi. What a time for football. Hope see something similar again in my life.
@@amaanimtiyaz4489 You said Rivalry, not the face of a league. Mbappe isn't Michael Jordan or Shohei Ohtani, he's not going to add anything to the EPL.
Not a Mourinho fan but I love listening to him talk in detail.. He’s been away from the very top of the game for almost 9 years now but he talks in a way where he should still be at the very top.. He understands it and I think deep down he also understands where he himself has gone wrong over the last decade.. I’d love to see him go into international management for a few years, England hopefully.
Such a fascinating mind. I've been watching the game for decades, to me Jose is the ultimate coach. When he speaks, I listen. Truly a special character.
Jose one of my favourite and best managers of all time. I love watching Roma because of him. He is blessed and achieves alot wherever he goes, thats a defination of favour. Long live jose the great
It would be a perfect swansong if Jose coaches Portugal national team! He's given it all and I think after coaching Portugal, he's best suited for TV commentary and enlighten the audience with his humour and just simply enjoy and spend more time with family!
I have a new job starting in two days back to doing Project Management work and it was a long sabbatical. I''m coming here listening to Mou because he is one of the greatest, his lessons are lessons for leadership, mentorship and management that all need to hear.
You think you coach inter, real madrid, chelsea to success without being ultra smart and intelligent. He is phenomenal. In my mind superior to Ferguson because he achieved success in different countries and cuLtures.
The biggest lesson at Roma Mourinho has learned is how to man manage this new younger generation. He needs to understand guys who grew up in the late 70s, 80s and 90s have now retired or are almost completely retired from the highest level... These kids are a different breed and it's a sink or swim culture, he has to adapt his management style to suit how this generation is. You'll never find someone as mentally tough as Essien or Lampard coz they came from THAT generation.
@@jedmpery891I think the difference is that the old knew that, even if they make it they’ll still have to work hard for it, and the new generation feel like when they make it they have a sense of entitlement, and can be inconsistent because they aren’t just stars on the pitch, but are social media stars as well. To be a true star in this generation you’ll need to be a little humble and self driven
@georgeyeboah7962 Yeah, that's a good observation. The players from the 80/90s weren't (for the most part) famous off the pitch. Football was everything. All players now, are paid crazy money and will in some respect have a few thousand (million) followers which must do strange things psychologically... I wonder what motivates the new generation on the pitch and what management styles work...
@@georgeyeboah7962I remember it was around 2010ish Rooney asked for 100k/week or he'd go to man city, and people thought he's crazy, nowadays you got kids who barely get to play making 100k+/week but have millions of followers on the internet, wtf would they give an f about working hard and doing well in football lol, if the coach criticized them anything will hurt their feels and cause them depression and they are considering retiring at age of 24 and the post got thousands of likes
Thank you for this one Rio, im from Setúbal, hometown of Mou, he and his father Felix Mourinho are legends here, much love from Portugal 🇵🇹 Keep them coming
it was rough seeing it play out that way. I've been to the colosseum I know how many people showed up out side and around it to celebrate when he finally got us a trophy and we never win but he got us one.
Loved this exclusive from you Rio and Stephen. Jose to me is a legend in the game. a box-office manager he will always be in the conversation as one of the best managers to ever coach/man manage. I was gutted when utd sacked him. the best manager post Fergie imo.
I hated this guy when he was at Chelsea as an Arsenal fan,but kudus to him bcs I’m warm to him now since is no longer the pain winding us fans up through Arsene Wenger.Good story teller big up legend of the game
Amazing insight to one of the most influential manager ever. I can clearly see that Mourinho is an incredible systems thinker. And absolutely agree that modern football journalism kills his career potential.
One of the greats of the game, box office character. Hope he was one last ride at the big time and 1 last Champions League win in him maybe a tough ask but you never know
I can’t bear watching this… not yet… I can’t even remember how long has passed since mourinho’s sacking but all we Roma fans loved him! He truly is the Special One 🥲
brilliant interview as always .. also love that you've taken on board the issues with the episodes on the interview with Mr Gill, great intros this time round!
Its amazing how alot of people think Mourinho is arrogant but the confidence that he would instill in anyone playing for him or the club that he manages would be something that makes everyone reach their peak
Phenomenally Great News, With Jose Mourinho all things are possible. I'm a life time fan of the special one. I'm watching from Monrovia, Liberia west Africa.
Chelsea NEED this guy now more than ever,he has the best mentality honestly, plus he actually shows emotion,not the passive robots the new owners have been going for
I'm a Roma fan, i felt too shocked by the news saying the Friedkins sacked Jose so sudden, this is for me the most painful losses of a Roma coach. I wasn't even sad when Capello left Roma for Juve 2 decades ago. But this one hits me really hard.
@@Al-oe7md talk about "buy" players, I respect Mourinho's great achievement, but on that aspect, I have a kind of feeling that Mourinho lacks in promoting young players. He loves pre-well-made players, rarely patiently nurturing a green talent. Well, in this time and age, which manager doesn't buy players, right? Um, I don't know about that, especially statistics data compared to other managers, and it could be my jealousy because he was responsible for ending Arsenal's long undefeated season record, but that is my opinion (or just my silly feeling :D).
@@Anuitu2u In Roma (Roma fan talking here) he did really well with young players. many were sold to help the club's finances and others actually remained as valid alternatives to the best players.
There’s no doubt about it, Jose’s Madrid and Pep’s Barca was the greatest time in football, the players, the fans, the media, the world stopped and we all watched!
I love jose' he is among the GOATs of the game. yes managerial styles have changed a lot in the last couple of decades but Jose will always remain a pivot of the international club football. It's only a matter of time when he rediscoers his magic and refreshes himself. he still has got a lot to deliver. with some self assesment he will be back with a bang. Form is temporary class is always permanent. Always remember that. I love "JOSE".....Period!!!!!!!!!💞💌💓💗💖💝
Awesome 1st Part, Mourinho this guy has a passion for football and it‘s great he gives his view on certain things, structures, tactics, how players are. Bring on Part two asap 😂🙌🏼
A joy to listen to. A thinking man who has repeated his success formula at many different clubs. I often wonder (rather like the Peter Taylor and Brian Clough partnership) if he would have had even greater success if he could have kept his Chelsea coaching team with him.
He has won so many trophies with different teams, he has proved to be one of the very top football managers ever. People keep trying to dismiss him saying that he has been sacked so many times, but how many teams have fully supported him? Only Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid have fully supported him and he has won the lot with these teams while the other teams that have failed him have ended up sacking him! United would have been back to its glory days had they not decided to back the players rather than Jose!
How on earth were gonna win a CL with Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona at their absolute peaks with an aging squad and mediocre players. Mou could've won you some leaves and without a doubt hone far in Europe if he got the right players. 2013 Bayern were too strong, 2014 - 2020 was the Madrid, Atletico, MSN, Juve, Bayern era.... Man Utd were nowhere near that level
football isnt as straight as just seeing a team at face value or looking back now its easy but its difficult to explain this-Mourinho would never have been out of his depth at United with the right structure, maybe we dont win it but we would be challenging for titles. @@blaquenguni9249
Nah I don't think his style and United are a great match but but to say he didn't deliver a good 2nd season is crazy. Things fell apart once he didn't get his center backs from Juve. @@nev3rlo5t
I think we like to think Mourinho in 2013 would have been perfect...BUT we lost Gill & with Woodward he was an absolute clueless clown. We could have had SAF under Woodward & it would have been a mess. No one could work under Woodward...he was too arrogant...prioritised commercial over the team (he even stated as much), so unfortunately Mourinho would have still struggled. He performed a miracle to get 2nd place & win the europa with what he had to deal with. I love Mourinho...& maybe IF in 3 years we have a settled structure aligned & a strong squad in terms of talent & character...then id give him another crack at Utd....but at this time the club is in no shape for him to work how he needs. The other thing of critical importance if he was to someday return is whether his philosophy fits the clubs ideas & playing style - Mourinho likes to play with grit & control with strong characters who can take criticism but also strong enough to see their weaknesses & develop....if any of those ingredients are missing then his philosophy will be misaligned. Ultimately I wish we had all the necessary structures & players to have Mourinho return....but we don't & im still not convinced we will within the next 10 years. The damage Woodward, Judge, Arnold & the Glazers have caused is almost embedded now & it will take ineos, Berrada etc years to change it to what we once had under SAF. I also support ETH but he is in a similar position to Mourinho...he has no structures behind him & certainly not a strong enough squad...so he is having to go game by game & we can never achieve anything if we don't have competence, character & talent at every level. Sadly as much as i like ETH he like Mourinho is at Utd at the wrong time...& i very much doubt Ineos will start their reign with him leading us for the next 3-5 years....sadly i believe ineos will replace ETH with a new manager in the summer particularly if we dont make top 4. IF we make top 4 they may give him 1 more season max.
I remember when Jose was at Chelsea the only fixture in the entire league I never felt united could cope against in the league almost impossible to break down and score against
Ste’s had the hairdryer out before this interview! Also was fortunate to attend an Nordorf Robins football night which Jose was the guess speaker at, came across really well and very generous during the charity raffle!!!
Man it would be great time for Mr. Mourinho to go Newcastle looking how they have improved and are at that peak stage of improvement. Wish he came next season cuz most English managers r mid-table best but not winners like him.

HE IS THE BEST
Ozil
Why wasnt this man considered for the England job?? He was top of my list. Criminal he wasn't even mentioned or considered.

LEGEND of the sport

Excellent breakdown. People are quick to say he’s finished. I think he’s going to prove the doubters wrong in the upcoming years!

The biggest lesson at Roma Mourinho has learned is how to man manage this new younger generation. He needs to understand guys who grew up in the late 70s, 80s and 90s have now retired or are almost completely retired from the highest level... These kids are a different breed and it's a sink or swim culture, he has to adapt his management style to suit how this generation is.
You'll never find someone as mentally tough as Essien or Lampard coz they came from THAT generation.
Interesting. I’m 35 so part of the older generation. I wonder what defines the newer generation? Are they better or worse in some areas?
@@jedmpery891I think the difference is that the old knew that, even if they make it they’ll still have to work hard for it, and the new generation feel like when they make it they have a sense of entitlement, and can be inconsistent because they aren’t just stars on the pitch, but are social media stars as well.
To be a true star in this generation you’ll need to be a little humble and self driven
@georgeyeboah7962 Yeah, that's a good observation. The players from the 80/90s weren't (for the most part) famous off the pitch. Football was everything. All players now, are paid crazy money and will in some respect have a few thousand (million) followers which must do strange things psychologically... I wonder what motivates the new generation on the pitch and what management styles work...
@@jedmpery891new generation are not mentally strong in all fields not just sports.
@@georgeyeboah7962I remember it was around 2010ish Rooney asked for 100k/week or he'd go to man city, and people thought he's crazy, nowadays you got kids who barely get to play making 100k+/week but have millions of followers on the internet, wtf would they give an f about working hard and doing well in football lol, if the coach criticized them anything will hurt their feels and cause them depression and they are considering retiring at age of 24 and the post got thousands of likes
Whoa! Dropping bomb here. Need to watch this later on today. Ste! I hope you got in some heavy questions.
Thank you for this one Rio, im from Setúbal, hometown of Mou, he and his father Felix Mourinho are legends here, much love from Portugal 🇵🇹 Keep them coming
Less than a minute in and I know already this is one of my favourite TH-cam clips. Well done lads.
Still one of my favorite managers of all time, so entertaining.
it was rough seeing it play out that way. I've been to the colosseum I know how many people showed up out side and around it to celebrate when he finally got us a trophy and we never win but he got us one.
As a Roma fan my heart is broken and I will love him forever
Great Interview lads. José is one of a kind. On my bucket list to interview for sure.
5:40 - can see emotions in his eyes. Great manager.
Loved this exclusive from you Rio and Stephen. Jose to me is a legend in the game. a box-office manager he will always be in the conversation as one of the best managers to ever coach/man manage. I was gutted when utd sacked him. the best manager post Fergie imo.
I hated this guy when he was at Chelsea as an Arsenal fan,but kudus to him bcs I’m warm to him now since is no longer the pain winding us fans up through Arsene Wenger.Good story teller big up legend of the game
Amazing insight to one of the most influential manager ever. I can clearly see that Mourinho is an incredible systems thinker. And absolutely agree that modern football journalism kills his career potential.
Jose *Legend* should never of been sacked at mufc imo
what has mu won since mou was fired
Good job to hear such conversation with the special one.
One of the greats of the game, box office character. Hope he was one last ride at the big time and 1 last Champions League win in him maybe a tough ask but you never know
I can’t bear watching this… not yet… I can’t even remember how long has passed since mourinho’s sacking but all we Roma fans loved him! He truly is the Special One 🥲
brilliant interview as always .. also love that you've taken on board the issues with the episodes on the interview with Mr Gill, great intros this time round!
Thanks for listening
Its amazing how alot of people think Mourinho is arrogant but the confidence that he would instill in anyone playing for him or the club that he manages would be something that makes everyone reach their peak
Mourinho is a top manager, always was, always will be. Winning titles with Porto, an aging Inter, a serial flopping Roma: THAT is class. Respect.
Must include winning something with the Post Fergie Graveyard United
The Conference League Cup
Let that sink in.
Phenomenally Great News,
With Jose Mourinho all things are possible. I'm a life time fan of the special one.
I'm watching from Monrovia, Liberia west Africa.
I could never imagine any other manager leaving after winning the UCL like a boss other than Mourinho
Absolute Legend ❤❤
I would love to see him in the EPL again. A legendary manager!
Chelsea NEED this guy now more than ever,he has the best mentality honestly, plus he actually shows emotion,not the passive robots the new owners have been going for
I really hope he goes back to Chelsea too.
He is returning to Chelsea, chelsea is part of Jose DNA.
@@martinkabinga4785 hope so. COYG
I don’t think so cause Roman isn’t there anymor3
Respect for José Mourinho!
Jose mourinho the GOAT!!
never was, never will
The special one
Absolutely love listening to him ❤ kudos
Kudos to the both of you amazing interview !!!
I'm a Roma fan, i felt too shocked by the news saying the Friedkins sacked Jose so sudden, this is for me the most painful losses of a Roma coach.
I wasn't even sad when Capello left Roma for Juve 2 decades ago. But this one hits me really hard.
they didnt respect him and what he brought to the club 😢
They didn’t let him buy decent players
@@Al-oe7md talk about "buy" players, I respect Mourinho's great achievement, but on that aspect, I have a kind of feeling that Mourinho lacks in promoting young players. He loves pre-well-made players, rarely patiently nurturing a green talent.
Well, in this time and age, which manager doesn't buy players, right? Um, I don't know about that, especially statistics data compared to other managers, and it could be my jealousy because he was responsible for ending Arsenal's long undefeated season record, but that is my opinion (or just my silly feeling :D).
@@Anuitu2u facts
@@Anuitu2u In Roma (Roma fan talking here) he did really well with young players. many were sold to help the club's finances and others actually remained as valid alternatives to the best players.
There’s no doubt about it, Jose’s Madrid and Pep’s Barca was the greatest time in football, the players, the fans, the media, the world stopped and we all watched!
Rio pulling the big interviews. Big up Rasta.
I love jose' he is among the GOATs of the game. yes managerial styles have changed a lot in the last couple of decades but Jose will always remain a pivot of the international club football. It's only a matter of time when he rediscoers his magic and refreshes himself. he still has got a lot to deliver. with some self assesment he will be back with a bang. Form is temporary class is always permanent. Always remember that. I love "JOSE".....Period!!!!!!!!!💞💌💓💗💖💝
Awesome 1st Part, Mourinho this guy has a passion for football and it‘s great he gives his view on certain things, structures, tactics, how players are. Bring on Part two asap 😂🙌🏼
A joy to listen to. A thinking man who has repeated his success formula at many different clubs. I often wonder (rather like the Peter Taylor and Brian Clough partnership) if he would have had even greater success if he could have kept his Chelsea coaching team with him.
He has won so many trophies with different teams, he has proved to be one of the very top football managers ever.
People keep trying to dismiss him saying that he has been sacked so many times, but how many teams have fully supported him? Only Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid have fully supported him and he has won the lot with these teams while the other teams that have failed him have ended up sacking him!
United would have been back to its glory days had they not decided to back the players rather than Jose!
People who dismiss him don't understand football. He is one of the top 3 managers of the last 25 years, no doubt.
Those madrid vs barca days, were something special, and every real madrid fan have a gratitude to mourihno to what madrid became after that.
Roma non smetterà mai di amarti ♥️💛
Grazie di tutto mister
Jose "someone special" is now fighting for Fenerbahçe's success. 💛💙 A special one.
Huge interview boys
Slaying with content! Rio and Ste and the Arsenal fan, the whole team are killing it!
Wish José was still United manager under a better structure. No doubt if José joined us in 2013 we would have 2-3 more leagues and a CL by now.
How on earth were gonna win a CL with Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona at their absolute peaks with an aging squad and mediocre players. Mou could've won you some leaves and without a doubt hone far in Europe if he got the right players. 2013 Bayern were too strong, 2014 - 2020 was the Madrid, Atletico, MSN, Juve, Bayern era.... Man Utd were nowhere near that level
football isnt as straight as just seeing a team at face value or looking back now its easy but its difficult to explain this-Mourinho would never have been out of his depth at United with the right structure, maybe we dont win it but we would be challenging for titles. @@blaquenguni9249
Nah I don't think his style and United are a great match but but to say he didn't deliver a good 2nd season is crazy. Things fell apart once he didn't get his center backs from Juve. @@nev3rlo5t
I think we like to think Mourinho in 2013 would have been perfect...BUT we lost Gill & with Woodward he was an absolute clueless clown. We could have had SAF under Woodward & it would have been a mess.
No one could work under Woodward...he was too arrogant...prioritised commercial over the team (he even stated as much), so unfortunately Mourinho would have still struggled.
He performed a miracle to get 2nd place & win the europa with what he had to deal with.
I love Mourinho...& maybe IF in 3 years we have a settled structure aligned & a strong squad in terms of talent & character...then id give him another crack at Utd....but at this time the club is in no shape for him to work how he needs.
The other thing of critical importance if he was to someday return is whether his philosophy fits the clubs ideas & playing style - Mourinho likes to play with grit & control with strong characters who can take criticism but also strong enough to see their weaknesses & develop....if any of those ingredients are missing then his philosophy will be misaligned.
Ultimately I wish we had all the necessary structures & players to have Mourinho return....but we don't & im still not convinced we will within the next 10 years. The damage Woodward, Judge, Arnold & the Glazers have caused is almost embedded now & it will take ineos, Berrada etc years to change it to what we once had under SAF.
I also support ETH but he is in a similar position to Mourinho...he has no structures behind him & certainly not a strong enough squad...so he is having to go game by game & we can never achieve anything if we don't have competence, character & talent at every level.
Sadly as much as i like ETH he like Mourinho is at Utd at the wrong time...& i very much doubt Ineos will start their reign with him leading us for the next 3-5 years....sadly i believe ineos will replace ETH with a new manager in the summer particularly if we dont make top 4.
IF we make top 4 they may give him 1 more season max.
Everything is possible in hypotheticals. If, Ifs and buts would change the world
I could listen Josè talk all day. He is a charismatic personality.
I remember when Jose was at Chelsea the only fixture in the entire league I never felt united could cope against in the league almost impossible to break down and score against
Wow... The podcast game is turned on its head.... This is ❤❤❤ I'll always love Jose
King Rio you have done many interviews on your channel and this one for me is the 'Special One' interview 😄 and also Jose is my Favorite Manager...
More to come!
Love Jose! Wrongfully pushed out of united! Legend in the game. Big up Five, very good interview !
Mourinho manages teams that guys like Pep would never touch. Have to respect it
Really is a wonderful orator. Probably doesn’t want to be, but he’s an incredible pundit providing tremendous insight. Made for studio.
Ste’s had the hairdryer out before this interview!
Also was fortunate to attend an Nordorf Robins football night which Jose was the guess speaker at, came across really well and very generous during the charity raffle!!!
Love these interview rio , getting some huge guests
I loved him at United, he made me feel like a winner again - shame that the board didn't back him
But they back Ten Hag go figure.
Mourinho: “I try to stay emotionally stable” 🤣🤣🤣
Jose the legend and what a genuinely nice guy.
I can watch Jose talk all day. Love love him ❤❤
Totally unrelated but the camera quality is top, lighting is worldclass and sound is legendary
Well done, five. Myself and everyone else I’m sure have been wanting a Jose interview.
Man it would be great time for Mr. Mourinho to go Newcastle looking how they have improved and are at that peak stage of improvement. Wish he came next season cuz most English managers r mid-table best but not winners like him.
Incredible interview ♥️🙌🏼
I always remember this man talking about football heritage . That is my special one I can wait to see you at old Trafford again
I just love Jose Mourinho ❤ I feel like watching a blockbuster movie 🍿🎥
Thank you Mr. Mourinho from As Roma supporter, you remain in my heart. Strenght and honor mister....
Grande Mestre o Mourinho! Ainda tem mais uns títulos para ganhar.
I love this man so much
Batty boy
Amazing that you got this interview!
“Not one of the bottle”👑
Mourinho is one of the best if not the best! All the best in your future endeavours. 🎉
