Jose Mourinho

[Clark28]

“I am humble. I am humble enough to try to analyse my career. Not just the last year but the problems and the solutions. The principle of my analysis was not to blame anyone else.”
During my career, I made mistakes. I'm not going to make the same mistakes. I'll make new mistakes."

I like that

Why are they asking him about pyjamas?

Is there an embargo on comms? It's weird to have the first press unveiling of Mourinho at Spurs and there is a media silence

Mourinho on... pyjamas? "I think I am Mr. Porto and Mr. Real Madrid and other clubs as well, I am whatever club I am at. I wear the pyjamas of the club and sleep in them. I am a club man, but I am a many club man."

Mourinho is asked again about this new 'humble' self-depiction: "I was always humble. The problem was that you didn’t understand that. I was always humble but it was in my way."

Normally an embargo until it's over.

Here are all the tweets Darren Lewis did;
Mourinho: “I do it with a bit of sadness but I have to speak about Mauricio. I have to congratulate him for the work he has done. This club will always be his home. This training ground will always be his training ground. The door will always be open for him.”

Mourinho: “He (Pochettino) will find happiness again. He will find another club again.”

Mourinho: “Happiness-wise I am convinced my choice was a great one. (On a scale of one to ten) ten. The job? Sometimes results make these decisions. I wouldn’t say it’s a (big) job (to turn things around). The club is huge. I know that I have potentially a great job in my hands.”

Mourinho: “I think so (asked if he is new and improved). These last 11 months have been used to think and to prepare. You never lose your DNA. You are what you are - for the good things and the bad things. I know in my career that I’ve made mistakes.”

Mourinho: “I’m not going to make the same mistakes. I’m going to make new mistakes. I’m not going to say I’m more fit. I was always fit.”

Mourinho on what he intends to do differently: “I am humble. I am humble enough to try to analyse my career. Not just the last year but the problems and the solutions. The principle of my analysis was not to blame anyone else.”

Mourinho: “I’m nobody to advise people but to have a break was very positive for me. Having the first summer where I didn’t work was not good for me. I was a bit lost. But it was good for me. I even learned how to be a pundit.”

I just don't see him in a Tottenham onesie

I thought sky were going to be showing the press conference live with the amount of build up they’ve given it. It appears not.

Yeah. What bollocks. Lieing fucks.

Its live text on The Guardian and Independent currently.

"The best gift are the players who are here. I don’t need new players. I just need to get to know these ones better.
I know them well but you never know them well enough until you meet them."

Just you wait.

This team has shown how they can be but under Jose we should see how much better they are. If you can't get yourself up to play for a proven winner then you shouldn't be at this club.

Of course before he was appointed I never thought we could get such a high profile manager. Names like Eddie Howe and Gareth Southgate were being banded about but we get him. He might be a **** but he is our ****. For one I'm looking forward to the ride.

On his squad and transfers

The best gift are the players who are here. I don’t need new players. I just need to get to know these ones better.
I know them well but you never know them well enough until you meet them.

What he said to his team

I told the players I came here because of them.
I tried to buy some for different clubs and some I didn’t even try because you know how difficult it was.

Mourinho on his time off: “I always thought that these 11 months were not a waste of time. They were months to think, to analyse, to prepare. You never lose your DNA, you never lose your identity, but I have time to think about many things. During my career I have made mistakes.
“I am stronger, I am relaxed, I am motivated, I am ready and I think the players felt that in two days. I am ready to support them, this is not about me. It is about the club. I am here to try and help everyone.”

Looks like they are having fun anyway!

I keep saying it and I said it before he went to United. Mourinho needed a full summer off to really reflect.

He left Chelsea pissed off and wanted to jump back on board the managerial train to prove everyone wrong but he took no time to really reflect, so as soon as things started going wrong he fell back into those same traits that got him in trouble at Chelsea.

This summer he went to Setubal and spent time around his home town and home club. That can bring someone back down to earth.
