Jose Mourinho's five best quotes
Jose Mourinho was officially confirmed as Manchester United's new manager
on Friday, AFP Sports lists five of the most memorable quotes of his
illustrious career:
"I have top players and I'm sorry, we have a top manager. Please do not call
me arrogant because what I say is true. I'm European champion. I'm not one
out of the bottle. I think I'm a special one."
- In his introductory press conference after arriving at Chelsea from Porto in
2004, Mourinho earns himself the nickname 'The Special One'
"Young players are like melons. Only when you open and taste the melon are
you 100% sure that the melon is good."
- On bringing through young players
"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other
people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big
telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks
about Chelsea."
- On Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who had criticised Chelsea's transfer
policy. Mourinho later apologised, but went on to brand Wenger a "specialist
in failure" in 2014
"Omelettes, eggs. No eggs, no omelettes. And it depends on the quality of the
eggs in the supermarket. They are class one, two or three and some are more
expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. When the class
one eggs are not available, you have a problem."
- On transfer dealings
"The only club where her husband replaced me was at Inter Milan, where in
six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time. And for her
also to think about me and to speak about me, I think the lady needs to
occupy her time, and if she takes care of her husband's diet she will have
less time to speak about me."
- A retort to the wife of fellow former Inter Milan coach Rafael Benitez, after
she made comments saying that Benitez was always tidying up Mourinho's
messes'
