“I’m terrible at picking” – Jose Mourinho claims he always joins struggling clubs
Posted Monday, June 12, 2017 by squawka.com
Jose Mourinho says he can't stop joining clubs "in big trouble".
The 54-year-old joined Manchester United last summer making it the seventh different team he's coached since becoming a manager in 2000.
However, when reflecting on that 17-year managerial career, the Portuguese tactician revealed his biggest fault.
"I'm terrible at picking teams," he told Portuguese newspaper Expresso.
"I always choose teams, as they say in England, in big trouble.
"Inter was in big trouble, Real Madrid was in big trouble, Manchester United in big trouble, that is, always in big trouble."
A well-travelled coach, Mourinho has won everywhere he's been at since establishing himself at Porto in the early 2000s.
He is part of a triumvirate of coaches to have won a league championship in four different countries and the only one to win the top-flight in England, Spain and Italy.
Under his auspices Manchester United won the EFL Cup as well as finishing sixth in the Premier League.
But, by the virtue of winning the Europa League, the Red Devils enter next season's Champions League.
It's a competition Mourinho is familiar with having won it managing Porto in 2004 and then again with Inter Milan six years later.
