Jose Mourinho is our inlaw so I understand.

The Special one have soft heart for Africans. His wife is from Angola...a childhood sweetheart of his.

They have lived together for over 30 yrs.

Adebayor
Drogba
Eto'o
Mikel
Are great African players who played under Mourinho. His love for Eto'o and Drogba no be here.

Mourinho wanted Kelechi Iheanachọ but the kind eye wey Leicester look am ehn grin grin He come know say road no dey that side. He come settle for Abraham grin grin

Truth be told, Kelechi would have been a better option at Roma than that Lanky Englishman...

However, knowing Mourinho, senior man fit turn defensive midfielder within 2 months there! grin

I thought Tammy is an English boy. But funny enough, had Mourinho said he prefers his strikers to be white, kpakam, racism talk go start.

Saint kitts and Nevis

Still of African descent.

MrColdsweat:


Ancelloti has won 3 champions league trophies. Ancelotti is one of the few managers who meet a set of new players and draft a new football system to bring out the best from the players, unlike modern managers who have a fixed system and they look for players to fit in the system.

Yes, he has the champions league but not dominant in the league which you know shows the real ability of dominance. Champions league is for pride, league shows true performance of a coach. In the EPL, after 38 games.

“I left, and he got new lessons from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ,
so he forgot to score goals. It’s painful to see." Why exactly do people deliberately make things up and attribute them to popular figures? The dimwitted, fake news peddling slowpoke that made up this rubbish isn't even smart. Please, what concerns Solksjaer with Tammy Abraham? And utterly gullible clowns truly believe Mourinho granted such interview. The other day, it was idiots claiming Rihanna said what she didn't say, now it's Mourinho's turn. I guess fake news pays.

“But my main Striker should be of African Origin, that is my lucky charm to win titles,” Mourinho who had previously coached Manchester United stated"


What a racist statement?
Making mockery of black people is nothing short of racism. Coach Mourinho should be fired for saying that people of African descent are his favorite charms. Or he should be suspended for half the season and asked to offer public apology, fullstop!

Beginning today, I will no longer watch a football match involving coach Mourinho. Enough of his lack of respect for black people.

OJEEMAH:
If Mourinho had stayed with Inter a little longer, Juve wouldn't have won Seria A more than twice. Its good to see him pick a struggling Roma. If he gets it right, he would definitely prove a very crucial point cos that's what we all thought he would do with Spurs. Just like CR7 & M10 comparison, Pep vs Mou debate will also not end in the nearest future.

Abeg make Seria A start make I see how Mourinho go take accuse refs of supporting Juve & Inter.

Not his fan but I love him regardless


He did not pick up struggling Roma. He was sacked by spurs and had no job. Roma picked him. His glory days are long gone. he is living on past glories. That's what you get for being pride as a defensive coach. Attacking football will always win over retreating or defensive.

The likes of pochentinho, pep and klupp are still very much at the peak of football. While he is taking charge of Roma. Maybe next na Nigerian league he go see himself.

No, it isn't.
But Kittitians of African descent have African blood flowing in them.
From what I read in the post, that's what matters to Mourinho.

The former Tottenham manager who discloses that using strikers with African blood had been his lucky charm said that such players have aided in his winning trophies as a manager.

When we say Blacks, we are talking about the African race or anything related to Africa, so whether you are black, white, purple or whatsoever, Africa is Black and Black is Africa
What exactly are you on about? Does what you wrote even make any sense to you? Dude, "African race" simply means BLACK. It doesn't include Amazigh (Berber) and Arab people of North Africa.

That was over 200 years ago, none of Rashford's relatives are African unlike the other players that have played for Mourinho. A lot of Caucasians also have ancestors from Africa

African Strikers Made Me – Mourinho

Mourinho said: “My success is always based on having an African striker. Without an African striker I feel like I won’t succeed.

“My belief about African strikers started with Benni Mccarthy at FC Porto whereby he scored more than 20 league goals to help me and FC Porto to win the Portuguese League title.

“In that same season he scored very important goals for me in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). That helped our careers to be well known in Europe by winning my first Champions League as a coach”

“From Portugal to Chelsea in En­gland, I find Didier Drogba. He was a great African weapon to win with me an English Premiership. I wanted Ben­ni Mccarthy to join me to partner Didier Drogba up front but at that time he was at Blackburn Rovers and he was the only hit man there. So they refused to give us Benni Mccarthy no matter the offer I put on the table.

“From Chelsea to Inter Milan, there I wanted to win the UEFA Champions League (UCL) so badly. But I only had two Ghanaian midfielders and that was not enough for me to win Champions League as I was dominating the league only.


So I sat down and thought hard about having an African striker again. I approached FC Barcelona and they will­ingly sold to me the best signing of my career – Samuel E’to O and the same sea­son with Eto’o I won Champions League.

“From Inter Milan to Real Madrid. There at Real Madrid I had all talents but the reason I didn’t win the UEFA Champions League (UCL) was because I had no African striker. I tried Emman­uel Adebayour but it was a loan move so Madrid does not like to use loan players.”


Brazil have great strikers, but if you look at them they are of African origin. I always teach new coaches on my coach­ing facilities that you must always have an African striker in your team.

“Perfect example at Manchester Unit­ed they don’t believe much in African strikers, no wonder I didn’t enjoy much success there. Some strikes gives you league titles but African strikers gives you UCL titles,” he said.

That old man is just a child... I feel ashamed listening to him sometimes.

This 'African' statement is another low for him. Why taint this beautiful game with such dumb talk... Haba!

A player's quality should come before his racial or ethnic background! That's just common sense!!!
While the footballing world is trying to stamp out racism, Jose is trying to stoke it up with these comments albeit unintentionally. Football has evolved but Jose is still stuck.
