Football is full of different characters but there are perhaps none who have a split personality quite like Jose Mourinho, as I can testify from personal experience.
I really loved football from a young age. And my only thought, my only objective in life, was to be a professional footballer.
When I was coaching with the Patriots, the players pulled a practical joke and I said, 'Do you think I'm Charlie the Tuna, like a sucker?' After that, they called me Tuna.
I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.
I love coaching and I love Barcelona.
I learned a lot from Al Davis, and I got a lot better as a coach.
I wouldn't coach football now for nothing, and it's because of social media. That just bothers the heck out of me. People blast ya and you don't put their name down.
It's easier to fine tune in club football, and you have the chance to win the Champions League every year.
I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.
When I arrived at Bayern he asked me: 'How are you? Are you ready to learn how to play football?' Before, I thought the coach's job was just to set up the team. However, with Guardiola it's something different. He is addicted to football and because of that he is a phenomenon.
Pep is not the best coach in the world. I prefer Mourinho. He is the No.1, because Mourinho is more transparent and more direct than Guardiola.
I've been playing semi-professional football since I was 14, really.
I believe that, deep down at heart, I'm a football player.
When Coach Belichick comes up to you during a game and says something to you, that's great.
I was born a football player and I love this game.
William McKinley Oswald was my high school football coach. He was a great coach and had a profound influence on my life. But I think he could have learned his method of motivating players from an army drill sergeant.
The career I have had should warrant me getting a job. I've done all the badges. I'm doing my coaching badges with the Welsh FA.
Louis Van Gaal is a great coach. He has inspired a lot of players to give their best, shown them how to play.
The worst thing Spurs ever did was get rid of Keith Burkinshaw. They have never replaced him.
Did I ever think at the time, when I was with the Alouettes and the Chicago Blitz, that I would be head-coaching a team in the Super Bowl? It would be hard to believe. Is it a dream come true? Yes.
I was blessed to have followed a legendary coach in Chuck Noll.
You always attempt to better yourself by getting good football players.
It was lucky I came from City; I'd say their philosophy is quite similar. Barcelona are a lot more advanced because they are the ones who created it, but they have a history of members of staff at Manchester City who worked here.
I have been very fortunate to coach a lot of very good secondary players through the years.
I started when I was in sixth grade, playing Pop Warner. I played running back, quarterback, cornerback... all over the place.
