Quotes by Jose Mourinho

When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.

I think I am the special one.

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.

I think the best place to work in football is England

At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.

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

The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession.

The team is completely close. Anything you say outside, there is no chance it will go inside. So the team is really strong and compact. We know what we want and how to achieve it on the pitch.
