The Special One turns 60: Best of Jose Mourinho

One of the most decorated soccer coaches in history celebrates his 60th birthday today and we take a look back at some of his best news conferences.

Jose Mourinho is considered by many to be one of the greatest soccer managers of all time. He was dubbed “The Special One” (after referring to himself that way) by the British media and has proven to be just that. As Mourinho celebrates his 60th birthday today, he celebrates years of success as manager of several different European clubs with awards to boot.

Mourinho’s famous news conferences

Not only is Mourinho known for his success on the field, but he’s also been known to have some hilarious moments with the press, mostly hilarious due to his bluntness.

In this video, we take a look back at some of the best moments, including taking digs at himself as a player as much as praising himself as a coach, calling Arsene Wegner a “specialist in failure”, and doting on his favorite bottle of Portuguese wine, gifted to him by his former colleague Brendan Rodgers.
