Chelsea may have removed Jose Mourinho from the football pitch, but his words will never leave our hearts.
Mourinho, who is known for speaking from the heart at all times leaves us with many memorable quotes.
Even during the disastrous run with Chelsea in the present season of the Barclays Premier League, Mourinho continued being at his arrogant best.
The Quint takes a look at the best Mourinho quotes from his two stints with Chelsea (2004-07 and 2013-15).
Jose Mourinho didn’t waste any time and let everybody know how arrogant he is, when he arrived in Chelsea back in 2004 after just winning the Champions League with the Spanish club Porto.
Mourinho couldn’t hold himself back yet again and uttered some hurtful words against his long-time rival, Arsene Wenger in 2005, when the Arsenal manager was showing a keen interest in Chelsea’s performances.
The Portuguese manager was at his quintessential best when he was asked in 2006 who should play him if a movie was made on him.
Mourinho related players to eggs when he was not given enough funds to get better players for Chelsea.
The Portuguese manager had another interesting analogy for young players back in 2007.
Mourinho called himself ‘the happy one’ when he returned for a second stint to Chelsea in 2013.
And finally he hurled at his players as well after a disappointing 1-2 loss to Leicester City in December, which was sadly his last game as Chelsea’s manager.
