José Mourinho

“Fear is not a word in my football dictionary.”

“I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.”

“My history as a manager cannot be deleted.”

“Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.”

“Look, I'm a coach. I'm not Harry Potter. He is magical, but in reality, there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real.”

“It's not important how we play. If you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank.”

“I am Jose Mourinho and I don't change. I arrive with all my qualities and my defects.”

“If they made a film of my life, I think they should get George Clooney to play me. He's a fantastic actor and my wife thinks he would be ideal.”

“If I wanted to have an easy job... I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the UEFA Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.”

“We have top players and, sorry if I'm arrogant, we have a top manager.”

“I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people.”

“It is omelettes and eggs. No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs.”

“I am prepared. The more pressure I have, the stronger I am. In Portugal, we say the bigger the ship, the stronger the storm.”

“A manager is not a magician. He is a leader of a group of men with a common goal.”

“Respect for everybody, fear for nobody.”

“The best team lost. And I'm not being arrogant.”

“Work with a goal. Finish in the top four. We are not a team to fight for the title.”

“I prefer to lose one match 9-0 than to lose nine matches 1-0.”

“Some clubs are treated as devils, some are treated as angels. I don't think we are so ugly that we should be seen as the devil.”

“In my country we say the dogs bark and the caravan goes by.”
