Jose Mourinho reveals the Premier League club he enjoys playing with and the club he never enjoys facing.
Jose Mourinho managed three Premier League clubs in the last twenty years. He managed Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham.
Mourinho enjoyed tremendous success with Chelsea, winning three Premier League titles( 2004/05, 2005/06, and 2014/15). During his first spell with Chelsea, he had an intense rivalry with Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson.
His time with Manchester United is considered a success despite failing to win the Premier League. Still, he helped them win the Europa League, The league cup and the community shiled.
Jose Mourinho has been tipped to return to Premier League managerial job. The Portuguese coach has revealed that he enjoyed facing Arsenal because he had a good record against them but demeaned that a trip to St. James Park to face Newcastle was also challenging.
What did Jose Mourinho say?
He revealed on the Five: “Not with the managers, with the clubs, yes.
“When people speak about me and Wenger, we had our things on the touchline, in words. But what I enjoyed the most was beating Arsenal every time we played against them because it was every time Chelsea, boom, boom, boom. That was what I enjoyed.
“I didn’t enjoy to play in Newcastle because I never win. Every time I went to Newcastle it was lose or draw, lose or draw. I think I won there once probably with Chelsea, with Man United or Tottenham. Out of 10 I would win once or twice.
“There was no rivalry with [Alan] Pardew or with [Sam] Allardyce or anyone there, I just knew that going to play St James’ was really, really hard.”
Jose Mourinho has insisted that the claim that he wants to return to Manchester United is false.
“I loved it, I loved my time there. I was so proud of going there,’ Mourinho said of his stint with the Red Devils.
“I was even prouder when a couple of years later I went back as a Sky commentator with Roy Keane and felt the reaction of the crowd. I was like “wow”.
“I always felt like we were together in the time I was there, but to have that reaction touched me. I loved my time there.
“The club, the history, everything, to be a coach in the same club as Sir Alex, you have to feel it, you have to feel the pride and responsibility, and I felt it.
“It was a hell of a job you know, in the first season to win the Europa League was great, to qualify for the Champions League was great too.”
The question remains if Jose Mourinho will take a coaching job in the Premier League.
