JOSE being praised by KZhead gods!! 💖 this made my day
THIS!!!🤣🤣 Comment of the day for me! @@WalCircle
By KZhead..😊
"You clean the room first before buying new furniture". Wow
Man United: how about we give Jones a new 2 year deal
You know what's funny? He said the exact same thing on his press conference right before that liverpool United match that gor him sacked. He literally said those same exact words. This is how you know jose is no faker . Everything he says comes from a principle he has
They still haven't cleaned the room. Crazy
are room is still rotten
@@user-fe7xw6tw7b the room needs a deep clean
The way Jose speaks about African players. Something in my eye. What a guy! 🐐
Same 😢😢
What a guy for real!
Should coach Niger next
Something tells me he might go on and manage an African National team and who knows, he might achieve the unthinkable like winning the World Cup
I've always got that impression about african players. They listen to the manager and are good example to the squad.
Recalling his United squad without hesitation like he put the squad out yesterday.
Crazyy memory for a 60yr old
Tbf he did say placing second with them is one of his greatest achievements and you don’t just forget your greatest achievements
Yep. People only saw how much those players cost.. the quality was lacking. United were just incompetent so they overpaid everywhere.
@@Twenty4_afglazing like avram u lot
Isn’t that hard is it I don’t even support Man U and knew it
People said Carlo Ancelotti was finished after spells at Napoli & Everton but now look at him. I can see a similar future for Jose Mourinho. Write ✍️ the man off at your peril. ⚽️
I was thinking the same man 👌
Exactly 👌 I always said,it’s easy to bully Carlo at Everton or Jose at Spurs. Give them proper backing and look what’s happening 💪
100% agree. The thing that really went wrong for Jose was United, which is a graveyard for managers. The fallout from that lead him to Spurs, which is perhaps an even bigger graveyard. Had he not had those two jobs, he wouldn't have ended up at Roma. He needs to choose his next job well though.
Yes he just need to be more rational than emotional his next job. He shudve left Roma after EL final but his loyalty and emotions killed him. He will definitely be back he just had tough jobs the last 3.
@@BigDome1 well Jose always goes to club to fix them if you look at his past. Jose went to porto won the league and UCL, went to Chelsea won them their first league since 54/55, then he went to inter won them their first treble, went to real madrid won them the league against the best club Barca and then went back to Chelsea again to win the league and then went to United won the Europa came 2nd and then went to spurs(the worst decision) and then joined Roma reach 2 finals in 2 seasons with a very limited squad and investment. This dude don't take easy jobs. Unlike pep
Mourinho literally won the league, Europa League, and Champions League with Porto Ended the invincible team's dominance in the midst of Ferguson's United and European champions Liverpool. Twice on the spin. He got 95 points, 15 goals conceded, 72 scored, only 1 loss in his FIRST season. The very same ‘invincible’ team was trying to retain their title. He made the 433 more popular in England & both Wenger and Fergie switched from their famous 442’s to a 433 in the following years. Continued to win with Inter, won the only treble in the history of Italian football in his second season, on the way he stopped arguably the best team in history in Pep’s Barcelona. Then went to Real Madrid and stopped Barcelona again, which felt like the impossible job, and wonLa Liga with the most goals scored in a season ever. Not mentioning bringing the prestige back in Europe forReal Madrid. They haven't progressed past the R16 in the last several seasons before he came. He reached 3consecutive CL Semi Finals and in 11-12 narrowly loston pens when Ronaldo, Kaka, and Ramos missed. It wasn't to be. Laid down the foundations for Madrid's dominance in the following years Returned to Chelsea and won the league, then went to United and finished second, and won 3 trophies with a United backline of Young, Jones, Smalling, Darmian/Valencia. We all know the internal problems he faced and it’s clear to everyone now that he wasn’t backed. Reached a final with Spurs that he didn’t play and at Roma he won a European trophy for the first time since 30 years for the club, and reached another Euro final a year later that he lost on pens when the referee decided Roma wouldn’t win that day. LEGEND of the sport. What a character.
Facts bruv...
Not to forget that he was the one who told Ronaldo to play as a Striker, he was only a winger before
Crazy glazing
Facts bro
@@lukundosimpemba-th5re That is not true. Sir Alex had used him quite a few times as a striker, mainly against big opponents, since he almost never tracked back.
“Cleaning the house before buying new furniture” caught my attention.
Reason utd fans calling get rid of deadwood for years
Still the most successful manager post SAF. Us United fans and Jose will always have respect for each other.
What!? You guys and the media ran him out of town. Stop the bs. ManU fan's are the most entitled and toxic fanbase.
@@Patrick-uh8xjsome of Uniteds fanbase sure. Every fan base has idiots but it doesn’t mean the whole fanbase think what they do. A lot of us fans loved Jose and didn’t want him sacked.
@@Patrick-uh8xjevery club has toxic fans
He is not lying. My South African mates support Chelsea because Jose had African players. He is loved here
Nobody cares about african players.
and he had Benni at Porto!
We don't care about african players.
Reason why I don't support Pep anywhere he go...
Support your own teams bro!
Look at Rio’s reaction when he found out Jose had the offer to coach England, that’s gold !😂😂😂
My reaction too 🤦♂️😂 lol
He mentioned this like a decade ago in a show Claire Balding with Steven Gerrard and him as guests...
I couldn’t believe it. Missed opportunity!
Still the reaction when you guys have southgate & not someone that has a clue in what he’s doing
When Jose was at Manchester United, i used to watch all his press conferences. Now i just read it in Twitter.
Same
I'm the opposite. I rarely watched them during Jose's time. I watch all of ten Hag's ones but it's not because I'm anti Jose or anything, I just wasn't interested in press conferences back then but I started watching during Ole's tenure and it's fascinating to listen to how journalists frame their questions to suit their own narratives, trying to get quotes that match their bullshit stories.
He is a legend, missed!
@@jedsithor must've been hard watching ole's pressers cause he was like a deer in headlights ffs
@@jedsithor i loved rangnicks conferences, those were the only ones i was interested in
When mourinho speaks, you listen
As a Nigerian, I LOVE this man. I could listen to him talk football ALL DAY!
jose is a very clever man
He's probably the most clever manager in the world. Unfortunately his tactics on the pitch are not
@@Ladiozbollocks
That’s how you survive and prolong yourself in today’s multi dimensional social media world
@@Ladiozless so his tactics and more so that players are much more sensitive now. He doesn’t have the adaptive skills to move with the times like Ferguson did in that regard.
Would love a few jars with the guy man
“Of course I believe, nobody did better” 🤣 he’s not wrong man
we need this guy back in the Prem. He's not even old, 3 years older than Ange!
Just imagine england winning the world cup under Mourinho. We have to try it ❤
No u can only dream about it 😂👌 He will rather go and manage Portugal,his country.
press would crucify him...
He'd be better than the clown that is southgate
As a Portuguese person I would be very Salty especially the fact that I am a British citizen, I would have very conflicted feelings 😂
@@pirolas03 I feel you 😂
When Mourinho came to Chelsea it was magic! we miss you Mourinho!
Jose Mourinho! The man I have followed since 2004. Whatever career path you you have in life, you can be inspired by just listening to jose. This Man is more than special, I see him as my father. Can't wait to see him on the touch line next season.
Same here, my dear 😂.I can't wait for his next adventure. If only United let Mourinho stay, City wouldn't win those many trophies in England.
I used to follow him about when he was a translator at Barcelona. On the metro, when he was buying his milk
Jose was never the problem at United. He was the solution.
Came at the wrong time. He should’ve been Fergusons successor and from what I hear he was supposed to be until Roman offered him a ridiculous contract. He wouldn’t have gotten rid of the back room staff and Gill etc like Moyes did.
I love this guy. Wish he had more time at united
Back to pl Mou! please we miss you!
Yeah he absolutely oozes charisma and talks so much sense. His trouble is he really wants to be a club manager rather than just a head coach, and that just doesn’t happen any more. I think it’s why he has ended up falling out so badly with his clubs - they just don’t want a manager who wants to control everything. He talks about wanting to change Man United here and that just wasn’t in the club’s interest.
But when you give me the role and control fo the transfers, he brings you in stars! look what he did in Chelsea with Drogba,Cech,Essien,Ricardo Carvalho,Arjen Robben..... But yes i agree, most club would not give him that control.@@gooblegooble99
hes coming back! Hes got unfinished business and he will get the backing he needs this time from Sir Jim!!!
Man united have to sack Erik ten hag immediately and hire Mourinho also they will have to loan out onana, Antony and Sancho,sell Maguire get de gea back
Jose Mourinho really love Africa players so much and you can see much respect from the players and loyalty
I mean bro you have to, they are so good and they are scattered all across the world because of history but trust if African players actually played for their motherlands the African nations would be some of the top nations in the football world. 95% of the French national team are African players
Because of humility and willingness to learn 😊
Talking about humility 99.9% of them renounce their nationalities to play for european countries hypocrites.😂😂😂😂 i remember neville to viera "senegal this, senegal that why didn't u play for them then?"
Jose: ''I was his white daddy'' 😂
WOW😳, Mourinho, you can feel he is speaking from his heart about United. You can see he really loves the club. Giving an honest assessment about Ed Woodward, who is obviously was criticized, even by me, is mega as he is telling the truth. Ed Woodward was not a sport director he was a businessman. It‘s great to hear from a coach who was working with Woodward, how it really was. He even remembers the lineup, who won the Europa League, which to compare it to the team from 07/08, it‘s eye opening, how big the difference of quality between the two teams was. Unfortunately he didn‘t get the full support, as in what he wanted and needed to bring united to the TOP again. Talking about chelsea, he tells you similarities from SAF or now Pep Guardiola. These Coaches saw something in random players, other people, media, etc. couldn‘t see. THIS IS WHAT MAKES THEM, SAF, JM, PG, even Carlo Ancelotti, Arsene Wenger and Jürgen Klopp, THE BEST IN THEIR PROFESSION. It‘s amazing how he speaks about the African players ❤ as he saw them as solutions for his needs to win titles. Drogba, Essien, Kalou, Mikel, etc, those guys did everything for theri club(s). I think everyone who wants to become a coach in his life should watch this podcast, all parts obviously😅, but Jose is saying the truth, you have to bring a vision, character, an environment where everyone is friend with eachother, new ideas for individual players, bring believe to the players. It‘s like Antonio Valencia who was playing Midfield on the right and then SAF, decided him to play right back, and it worked, he was sooo good there. But also a good content for future players, as a player you play for the coach and the club, the coach is not plaing for the player and club. The coach is giving the players ideas, tactics, adjustments, which is a CLUB, if you can make that work, you might be successfull. Players need to play for the batch. As Jose is saying, the coach is not the genius, THE PLAYER IS. What a BOMB has Jose dropped in this podcast😳😳😳!!! Can you imagine him as the national coach of england, after he lost his Job at Chelseas 😳??? BUt i like his opinion that he would be borred, which is fair enough as as a coach youu don‘t have to play ever weekend or midweek. Again, good stuff, so much information, bring on PART 3🙌🏽
True United fans always respect ex managers. Whether it worked out or not.
not really, moyes and van gaal never get the attention like jose had from the fans
@@timothymanurung4835that’s because they held some ill feelings for the way they were treated and haven’t spoke about united in a positive way like Jose has done.
Not Ralf
So you mean he did not work out? 😅 How many trophies he won?
This man is a proper gentleman, I couldn't love him more. His career hasn't been the smoothest lately, because he hasn't had the mad rich owners, match-manipulation and doping controversies like another manager, nor a proper support from club structure. He single-handedly bring up names like Lampard, Terry, Drogba from nowhere; and won with that Man Utd squad which he had limited support. But he gains all the respects of fans, because he gave everything for the clubs he was at, although let down by poor management like Man Utd and Roma. Huge respect for JOSE!
Watch the interview with Schweinsteiger. You will get a different view. He is not a Gentleman, that's for sure.
I love this man. If I had the talent to be a top player I would die for him on the field. One of the best. Football Heritage!
Jose, I miss this guy. No matter if he played bus parking football he has been our most successful manager post SAF. I always wanted him to win the EPL with us. 😢
one of the greatest managers of the prem
the world*
Back to pl Mou! please we miss you!
Greatest
Ahh good old jose, thank you rio for this interview with the “special one”. Truly entertaining, much love❤️🐐
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m from Africa and we do love jose ❤
Mou. The Special One. All time great
Loved when Jose threw shade at Man City and there 115 FFP charges 🤣
This man is box office. As a United fan we love you too. The Special one indeed. He is right about cleaning house.
That Essien part😂. Great Interview guys
" When Essien calls me daddy I say Come on Michael ! " 🤣
I simply love Jose Mourinho, if he ever came back to United I'd be very happy. Great interview!
Forever will be the special one. I hope he can coach an international team in the future.
Eto'o in RB is a craazy example of the respect mou commands 🤣😂
He is a great man and a great Manager just never given long enough to do the job at every Club.
Mourinho showed the world how valuable african players can be.
Awesome seeing Mourinho talking so freely. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
GOAT. Great interview guys.
Mourinho is greatly loved in Africa indeed - at one time I think he had 6/7 African players at Chelsea.
Honesty and trust is all Mourinho needs to give you trophies.
I loved him at United - he made me feel like a winner again
Ferguson,Carlo,Pep and Mourinho are the mount rushmore of football managers 🔥 They have achieved everything multiple times 🔥 Big personalities for legendary clubs and legendary players.
Busby? Clough?
Cruyff.....not only on the mount Rushmore of managers, but also on the mount Rushmore of players.
Manchester United fans and all Africans love Jose Mourinho 👹❤️
Our Mourinho GOAT
Been a Utd fan since 2008 so I’ve rarely seen Utd at their peak, but I’ll always remember Jose for some iconic moments throughout his time at Utd along with the couple trophies …hope he knows us as fans still have love for him 🙏🏽❤️
I have been hoping for ages he would manage England, honestly he is a great fit, top attitude and him and his whole family love the country
Jose is a mix bag of everything you need as a manager. Speaks highly of African Players and boy we love him in the Continent. He's the GOAT in my eyes simple!
And what's important about african players the best players of all time the best managers the best leagues the best countries are not africans
@@marwanhisham233you must be a child 😂
Thanks for your time in Rome Jose, the fans really loved you and are thankful for the two european finals
I'd have him back tomorrow. He's still one of the top 5 managers in world football right now. He's special.
Great interview. Seeing Jose in a new light.
Class to get Jose in lads, what a man
Love you Rio and Mourinho are real men you can see that always Rio is real man with his personality says to me he a real man long time ago he’s the same ❤️
Rio and Steve actually do cracking interviews. I loved the David Gill ones, too. You have to get Sir Alex or even Woodward would be really controversial😅
United fans always loved Jose... I say we run it back one last time
Top stuff.. best channel for interviews at the moment.well done
After this interview I fell in love with Jose even more. Great job!
As a Porto fan this man will always be a idol for me, one of the very few guys that i will root against no matter what club or country is managing, an amazing manager and an amazing person, will always hope he succeeds wherever he goes, forever the Special One🐐
OMG i thought i'd have to wait longer. Thanks guys you rock !
Hope you enjoyed it!
Back to pl Mou! please we miss you!
im a South African and we love Mourinho (special one1) his funny and also a hard worker
The best...fantastic interview
Legendary interview!!
Love the Rio & Ste Duo, I think the questions are well thought out. Real intelligent conversation, enjoyed every minute 👊🏻
Much appreciated!
Forever special❣
Great man, very passionate and honest.
What a legend, I am glad I lived to see Mourinho in his prime.
Thank you so much 🙏 we are proud of you guys team 💪 rio
Much respect for this Legend 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Amazing love it ❤
Got up at 630am in Australia to watch this, did not disappoint 🎉
Love Jose... I'd take him back in a heartbeat! Should never have let him go.
Enjoyed this sooo much. I love podcasts and such but due to schedule this year not much time but man this was entertaining and mannn I love itt
You can see the sincerity and magic in his face when he talks about the love he has for African footballers. On behalf of all Africans we love you even more Daddy Jose Mourinho. May the grace of God never depart from you. Wishing you all the best in your new chapter.❤❤❤
Look at Ste staying nice and quiet when Mourinho is in the room, not so mouthy now are we...🤔 🤣
Jose you are very special to us in Nigeria, my uncle cried when you were sacked the first time by Chelsea
Great content 5! Please release full videos along side your segmented stuff.
So respectful of other managers and players. What a legend. The best UTD manager since Sir Alex.
Scoooooooot Maaaaaaaaan plays with all his heart
THE SPECIAL ONE
Maurinho is very intelligent, how he recalls players, events and games with accuracy about teams from long way back like it was yesterday is amazing.
One we've been waiting for
Waiting for the Part 3 !
I would take him back at United in a heartbeat ❤
I like him but let’s not forget the boring defensive football
tonymorph3672- as if things have been better since he left
Same. Bring back Jose
What type of football does United play now? @@tonymorph3672
Absolutely not
I really hope he will come back to the PL, he is so missed! He and Klopp are two special managers, i hope he will be back really fast. Legend and the special one.
So poethic everything he says.. The best of the best! Please never retire for the sake of football.
He is the man. He'll always be THE MAN. I was so damn sad when he was sacked at United because the way he creates belief and confidence in all his supporters, its just unreal. You just feel like rallying behind him.
Jose the legend speaks the truth
Your best interview yet, guys, Jose will go down as a special coach, no doubt!
This guy is Genius at football. A football savant . ❤
My Dad became a Chelsea fan SOLELY because he said amongst the top teams in England, Mou was THE ONLY coach signing and playing African talent. Wasn't that excited about him being United's Manager (i'm a United fan) but i will ALWAYS respect & love him for that. So many African players have winners medals because of him, RESPECT!!!
Arsene Wenger was the first manager to make the world believe African players can be trusted to win titles and football matches. He was one of the first manager to lay the foundations for the influx of African players to be signed up by EPL managers & the rest followed him. For me Wenger will always be the one who gave these African players the chance to showcase their talent in Europe. A lot of these players Chelsea signed back in the days were cos Roman had the financial muscle to outbid anyone.
Carragher catching strays I love it ❤😂
Wow a full video well done Rio
Jose Mourinho is a legend. What a manager
I wish it was only rio conducting the interview
My idol my hero❤️
Jose is class, only manager I love watching and listening to.
This is real Jose. Sounds very humble and no ego.
