After parting ways with Manchester United, Josè Mourinho talked about his future in an interview with the "Telegraph": “People used to say that you learn more with defeat. Maybe there is some
truth in it. I feel my natural habitat is winning. This is the first
time when I didn’t win any trophy for 18 months. Some guys don’t win any
trophies for 18 years. I didn’t win any trophy for 18 months. Now I
have time for thinking, reflection, trying to understand everything and
trying to be more ready for the next one that is coming. I know it is
coming. It hasn’t come yet because what has come along, I didn’t want.”
The Special One discussed also what are the characteristics that a club should have in order to persuade him to become their coach: “A club that is not ready to be a trophy-hunter immediately
but with the ambition to be a trophy-hunter. If it is a club without
ambition I wouldn’t go.I want to work with people that I love. People I want to work with, that
I am happy to work with, with whom I share the same ideas. It was what I had at Inter. There are clubs like this. Normally, that is a very important part of a successful club.I don’t want an internal conflict”, concluided Mourinho.
