Mourinho: Before Me Chelsea Hadn’t Won For 50 Years!
Inter boss Jose Mourinho has once again blown his own trumpet by reminding everyone that before he arrived at former club Chelsea, they hadn’t won the title for 50 years.
Mourinho ended a 50-year league drought for the Blues.
Mourinho has been causing great controversy in Italy since taking over at Inter at the beginning of June, and he has recently been involved in an explosive slagging match with Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco, who last week told him he “deserved a smack in the teeth”.
The criticism that has been directed by some at Mourinho has mainly centred around his supposed lack of respect for others, and above all his arrogance.
At the weekend The Special One declared that “there was no coach better than me” in the whole world. Mourinho has now further fueled his critics fire after yesterday talking up his achievements at Chelsea.
SKY journalist Massimo Mauro asked the coach whether he could repeat Fabio Capello’s record this season of winning three Scudetti on the trot for one team, given the fact Roberto Mancini won the Campionato for Inter in both 2007 and 2008.
"I do not know whether it is more difficult to win three times in a row, or to win after 50 years ... as I did at Chelsea," was the Portuguese's reply. Mourinho won the English championship in 2005 in his first season at Chelsea, ending a 50-year league drought for the Blues. -
yes he really did it at chelsea
with the riches of Roman :D
but no mention :X
-
They chose to see it that way.
I think the title is rather misleading.

But what he said also is true lah... Before him Chelsea hasn't won it for 50 yrs... So compare to winning 3rd Serie A title is probably bigger lor...
-
bullshit la..if he dun have those kind of money that roman provided to buy those big bucks players he cant win de..admit it u bought success!
-
frankly he got his luck when he inherited a good team from claudio raneiri. such as Frank lampard, john terry, joe cole, makelele which are the pillar of the chelsea team. then when he arrive he splurge cash on players such as carvalho, ferreira, essien, SWP, Mikel.
thus i dont classified him as a great coach, but a coach who know how to manage a team of already stars.
-
getting the correct players is one thing, getting them to gel well as a team and start winning is another...
but i do agreed that his mouth is working harder then his brain in this instance..
