Mourinho's expiration date: “Maybe you're already tired of me”

Jose Mourinho feels happy at Tottenham, at the same time as “very young” to continue in the bench gap for many more years. With a spirit that he showed when he coached Manchester United, Mourinho did not hesitate to answer, with a great tone of humor, about his future on the Premier League benches.

When asked if he saw himself training, like Roy Hodgson, his rival today on the Crystal Palace bench, training with more than 70 years, he replied: “Maybe you are already tired of me after 20 years seeing me here. Maybe you are tired of me because I have been here for 20 years, since 2000 when I got my first job. ” Although he suggested that not only could he manage to train into his 70s, like Hodgson, but, at 57, he still looks “very young” for the sports management of a team.

The Portuguese coach recalled: “A great friend of mine got a job in the Portuguese Premier League this week at the age of 74 (Jesualdo Ferreira in Boavista), a fantastic coach, with incredible knowledge and incredible passion. 'I spoke with him and he told me that everything is very stable: his family, his children. Your children are no longer children, of course. And he still wants to work, so we'll see what happens. “

Mourinho showed his kindest face in the documentary he starred in for Amazon prime and a good part of the recording was spent reminding their players that they need to develop a winner's edge.

“We are improving as a team, there is no doubt about that. We are improving step by step. On the concept of what the team needs and also in relation to the mentality we need, which is something that I have had very, very clear. We are improving both facets step by step. “
