Jose Mourinho
believes he should
be labelled the
“Only one” instead
of the “Special
One”, after
becoming the only
coach to win the
so-called top three
European Leagues.
Speaking to
Portuguese
television channel SIC on Monday, Mourinho
explained that as his managerial career has
progressed, he has become less selfish and
less focused on individual goals.
"Things have been going well for me, thank
God. I am focused on others much more
these days. The pleasure of winning with
Inter Milan was seeing a club, which had
not won for 50 years, winning again.
That is what entices me more and more,
instead of pursuing individual goals." He
said.
He won La Liga last season with current
club Real Madrid, he won Serie A twice with
Inter, the Premier League twice with
Chelsea and the Portuguese Liga twice with
Porto. On top of all that, he also won the
Champions League with both Porto and
Inter.
"Like me or not, I am the only one who won
the world's three most important leagues.
So, maybe instead of the 'Special One',
people should start calling me the 'Only
One'," Mourinho said in an interview that
aired on Monday.
The Real Madrid boss was nicknamed “The
Special One” during his time in England
after calling himself just that during a press
conference following his switch from Porto
to the Blues in 2004.
