The Chelsea boss says he is under more pressure than any other
manager because "some have 10 years to win something" or "arrive on
time to collect the fruits off their trees"

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has
kicked off the Premier League
campaign with a thinly veiled jibe at
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger,
suggesting he was afforded 10 years
to win a trophy.
Mourinho arrived back at Stamford
Bridge last summer but insisted towards the end of the 2013-14
campaign that his squad were not ready to win the title.
And now he feels he is under more pressure to deliver success than
any of his colleagues.
"Why? Some have 10 years to win something, I have only two," he told
reporters on Friday.
Wenger famously oversaw a nine-year trophy drought at the
Gunners, ending with their FA Cup victory in May, but has not won
the Premier League in a decade and was branded a "specialist in
failure" by Mourinho last season.
The Portuguese then went on to hit out at other managers, perhaps
old rivals Manuel Pellegrini and Pep Guardiola, suggesting they have
benefited from good work by their predecessors.
“I’m not a very intelligent guy to choose teams,” he added. “I like to
work. I like to build. I don’t like easy jobs. I don’t like to get clubs
worked by other managers before me. I don’t like to arrive on time
to collect the fruits off their trees.
“When I went to Porto, the season before they had been fifth. When I
went to Madrid, where was Madrid? Where was Inter before I went
there? And I came to Chelsea [last season] at a moment when one
team was over and another needed to be born – and at the same
time I came to the only league where four, five, six can compete for
the title.
“At the end of the season you, the supporters and the players will
judge my work. And most important, my boss, my owner, my board
will judge my work.”
Pellegrini took over Manchester City last summer after the club had
finished second and first in their previous two seasons, while
Guardiola inherited Jupp Heynckes' treble-winning Bayern Munich
squad.

He should just shut up and coach his team. Is he the only manager in the EPL?
If he isn't careful, his talkativeness could send players out of his team.
