Spanish journalist Diego Torres has claimed that
Jose Mourinho cried upon learning that he had been snubbed for the Manchester United job.

The Portuguese coach, who at the time was on his
way out of Real Madrid, had long been rumoured to
be a contender to replace Sir Alex Ferguson once he
eventually retired.

However, David Moyes got the job on the
recommendation of the legendary Scot, something
which El Pais writer Torres says caused Mourinho
"terrible disbelief".

"Mourinho... thought that Ferguson was, besides his
ally, also his friend and godfather," he wrote in his
new book Prepare to Lose: the Mourinho Era. "He
was convinced that they were tied by a relationship
of genuine trust.

"He thought that his fabulous collection of titles
constituted an 'endorsement' unreachable to any
other contenders. When he knew that Ferguson had
chosen Moyes, the Everton coach, he was struck by
a terrible disbelief: 'Moyes hadn't won absolutely
anything!'

"Mourinho wouldn't stop calling [his sports agency
Gestifute]. His 'interlocutors' had heard him sob
loudly and they were spreading the word. The most
feared man in the company was crushed."

Mourinho returned as manager of Chelsea in June.
