"We have top players and, sorry if I'm arrogant, we have a top manager." Jose Mourinho


"Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one." Jose Mourinho


Many consider Jose Mourinho as an Ultra-confident manager while others see him as an arrogant fellow.

Mourinho is regarded by many as one of the best coaches in Europe. He has won four consecutive league titles in two different leagues (two at Porto and two at Chelsea) and also the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup with Porto. For two consecutive years (2004 and 2005), Mourinho was named the world's best football coach by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).

He is considered the most adorable personality in the football world with an enigmatic aura. His picture alone is enough for a magazine to make sales. In any league he finds himself, he automatically becomes the center of attraction: relegating others to second class entities. Probably, that is why many dislike him.

According to Benni McCarthy, "He (Mourinho) is an expert in developing a player’s confidence.” This is probably one of his greatest asset to any team.

I used to look at Jose from the perspective of his controversial and provoking comments but from a different perspective I begin to see him as an enigmatic, special achiever. Or what do you think?
