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.”

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

“My history as a manager cannot be deleted.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Respect for everybody, fear for nobody.”

“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.”
