Agree. In his tenure he won the League Cup and Europa League, got 2nd place at 81 points, and FA Cup runners-up. Imagine if he stayed another three seasons.
Long before José Mourinho managed a small team in his native country and won big in Europe there was another manager, who did exactly the same. And his name is Sir Alex Ferguson (at Aberdeen).

José was toxic against so many rival teams coach’s yet he has the ultimate respect and friendship between SAF and José. Many stories that after the game win draw or lose José would bring his favourite Portuguese wine to share a glass in SAF’s office. He returned the compliment. That is the way football should be.
After Porto knocked United out in the champions league both fergie and Gary Neville went into the Porto dressing room and wished them all the best going forward what they did surprised Jose do much because nobody had ever done that before to him from there fergie and Jose became great friends even with the rivalry
@@nananou1687 oh no sir. that is the difference at the top top level - some competitors just turn to each other supporting their own players. you only have to see Jose and Wenger and Sir Alex and Wenger and Kevin Keegan! They would not have a pint or a glass of wine like Jose and SAF and that is why it is such a unique and interesting dynamic between them.
You reminded me about a story in Fergie's book about how Jock Stein told Fergie to give Alfredo Di Steffano a bottle of the best Scottish whisky before their big European tie between Aberdeen and Real Madrid, so that Di Steffano would think Fergie "was in awe of him" and relax a little. It worked, maybe José got that from there too 😅
Both of them are special in their own way but Jose is the underdog who beat all the odds. It be nice to see him succeed at international level. Pep had/has more resources but his dynasties and systems of play are so good. He made the primer league feel like a farmers league at times 🤣 Jose as well during his early Chelsea reign
@@davidsegovia9644Jose Mourinho is in a different league than Pep....they cant even be compared. Pep has inherited great teams whereever he went ....and If not that he has millions at his disposal. Man city is NOT a football club
Because of the manu team he inherited at the time, and the difficulties the team had over the years prior made it a miracle almost amd a massive achievement. So it was an achievement when you look at it that way @@luckymark571
This man knows what Mourinho was to become, when Mourinho's team beat United he ran down the touch line and slid on his knees to celebrate the winning goal. I could see he was going to succeed, Ferguson see it and they are good friends still and enjoy a bottle of wine 🍷🍷⚽️✌️
@@standafan4141 you need to learn to read... I said I hated his chelsea meaning him also, but in that era he was an incredible manager, if you can't see talent because of rivalry you aren't a football fan really are you... your just a salty arsenal fan who's upset because we've not won anything for years just like all of us, but I can respect talent doesn't matter about the rivalry, I don't care what you think really tbh🤣
May I just, as a lifelong LFC fan, express my respect and admiration for Sir Alex. May his like never, ever appear again at Old Trafford! God bless you sir.
I love SAF, I have been lucky to see him be more than a coach, a sports director, scout, and even father figure to his player. I miss watching him speak.
To me this is the GOAT of all coaches. He never took a sabbatical for 26 years straight and made Man Utd a top team feared by many others. Won 50% of the league titles while he's there. He's one in a million
He did play, just not at a high level. Spent years in the Portuguese league system and by all accounts was a prolific goalscorer during his time with the reserve team at Rio Ave (at the time managed by his father).
He could have made his league debut then but the club president overruled it due to fears of nepotism. He'd go on to make around a hundred professional appearances over a 7 year spell, scoring a professional hattrick for Belenenses and becoming club captain of Comércio e Indústria. He decided that he didn't have the requisite pace and power to compete at higher levels and elected to become a coach instead. He wasn't just an academic - he was very much born into football and his experiences playing entirely out of the spotlight undoubtedly had an impact on him as a manager.
I think what Sir Alex meant was he never played the game at the highest level i.e in an elite club...pep played for an elite barca team,ancelotti played for THAT milan team, zidane ofcz is ZIDANE and so on....he played in portugal but really didnt play for the elite teams
Jose was a player for short time even not in highest level league.. The one and only who never play but become great manager was Arrigo Sacchi.. The manager of the great milan sides of late ‘80..
I never forget moment how he in interm won barca by 11defenders full match UCL I was barca fan and it was like a sudden death/golden goal moment 😢😮 Jose is revolutionary wherever he goes trophies rain 🎉👏
You Sir, you are a great example... Someone remembers how many years you lead Manchester United as a manager? Because I do, 26 years leading the best team in Europe... You tell me now who did this?! Exactly...
@Jack_Bauer I don't believe so. It also said he was in some second league teams but nothing about him ever playing. Quit early maybe that's why and got his coaching badges done.
People forget just how unstoppable 00s Mourinho was. Sucess with massive clubs, but massive clubs who needed that final push. Might be a long time yet till we see a European cup won from a club outwith the big 5 leagues. As hard in 04 as it is currently. Inter for decades just couldn't get to that top spot. He sealed it then added the big one. Immediately took Chelsea from nearly men to top dogs, competing with Fergie & Wenger, totally blew them away. A perfect fit for Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund or Marseille. Still brilliant, serial winner but 02-12 guaranteed winner. Not many could do it in so many different leagues under different circumstances. See many managers need to fit to a certain club, he made the clubs fit him. Legend
@jHJHJjHidie wasn't in the 00s though. Plus I don't give a shit about Manchester United so don't really understand what you are getting at. Won uefa Cup then champions league with Porto. Just as unimaginable then as now. Turned Chelsea into a rich club who won a cup now and again to a force, then european Cup with inter for first time in 50 years, against really strong United and unstoppable Barcelona. In the 00s he was unreal.
@ as if I give a shit for this 2 outdated joke … one is getting sack , one is at managing Turkish club … both destoryed by jurgen and pep… blah blah blah history united
Wtf are you talking about. Don't know how many times I need to explain 00s but here we go. The year 2000-2010. He wasn't united manager then. Don't know why I'm wasting my time replying here, if I'm talking to someone who thinks fegie got the bullet. Your obviously some part time glory hunter who thinks football began when the Premier league deal was signed. I don't have an English team, I get the feeling you think I do.

Actually Jose Mourinho played a little bit as a midfielder, then went to become a scouter and an assistant for his father, who was a football manager. So there was some foundation. But, yes, he had determination to be more than an average coach in his country.

You're right so Alex Ferguson
Mourinho from 2002-2012 was just deadly and fearless. It says something to get that praise from Sir Alex and I know Jose would give it right back!
“Goes to Inter Milan…Ugh…!”
That always cracks me up 😂
That’s respect right there. 🫡
This is how great men acknowledge a fellow great. Thank you Sir Alex for an honest opinion on JM. Football forever.
As a United fan, this was the version of Jose that we expected. The post-Real Jose was a shadow of his former glory.
He didn't even have to detailed the inter milan part. The silence brightened the room.
I never forget moment how he in interm won barca by 11defenders full match UCL

Spoken by a true legend of a manager...
Jose is one of my top five managers of all time. How he beat Prime Barcelona with Inter Milan was a masterclass.
For the first time we can actually understand sir Alex's words
