[edit] WTF is this?! Vandalism

It says here in the Personal Life section: "Jose Mourinho sadly died on 1st April 2008 after injuries sustained in a fight outside his home." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.125.172.137 (talk) 21:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discovery Section

What's that section at the bottom saying that Avram Grant and Jose Mourinho are the same person doing there?? vandalism?? --195.158.72.138 (talk) 02:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chelsea Fans bid Farewell to Mourinho

Mourinho's Farewell Page

[edit] Wife

Looking on the internet, I am not sure whether his wife is called Matilde or Tami. Maybe she is called both. Perhaps somebody could clarify.--Oxonian2006 20:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Mourinho's Future

Please take down that so-called comment about Mourinho leaving Chelsea at the end of the season. Just yesterday, he proclaimed he would coach out of his entire contract up until 2010. Just because some sleazy reporter has a gut feeling(I watched Sky Sports News) doesn't mean Mourinho is leaving all of sudden.

JOSE MOURIHNO OFFICIALLY LEFT CHELSEA ON THURSDAY. BOTH PARTIES WITH MUTUAL CONSENT OF DEPARTED.

Mourinho has 'aparently' been linked with a shock move to non league team AFC Wimbledon. Reports of an alleged phone call were introduced to us earlier on this morning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kman07 (talk • contribs) 12:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how about a section on his tactics and football philosophy?

Mourino built the team with strong foundation.People would say he is boring but at the end of day , it is the winner who would be remembered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.11.38.152 (talk) 03:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Something I would like to include but may be a mere personal opinion:

I strongly believe Mourinho is smarter than most, and thinks on a whole other level. While he may be ambitious and proud, I really believe his recent outbursts against Frisk, the UEFA and Rijkaard, are not merely caused by stress or a disconnection with the real world, but that he consciously draws the attention of the media towards him, in order to keep his players free from attention and stress. For comparison, in Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona, the focus is on the players, hence all responsibility and stress. This is of course truthful, because it's they who have to perform. I am sure that with Mourinho, there would not be such interest in Rooney or Beckham. he makes sure his players stay out of the picture, all to the benefit of the team.

Something along these lines may be worthy of inclusion.

[edit] Needs a rewrite

I think this whole section needs expanded upon, updated and tidied up. A good start has been made, but this article is of quite a low quality considering that Mourinho is one of the world's foremost football managers.

[edit] Putting wrongs right

There is one glaring error that has not been addressed on this page; the players that joined Chelsea after Mourinho joined the club were not signed by him. Mourinho has made two transfers, Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira, the rest ( Drogba, Cech, Kezman etc. ) were all signed by the previous manager, Claudio Ranieri, back in Jan 2004 for the summer. Please update, as constant praise ( even from seasoned commentators ) for Mourinho signings is extremely irritating. The man is arrogant enough, please do not give him credit where it is not due.

This is unfair criticism of the article, the underlying feeling of jealousy and hatred towards Chelsea is trying to make its way into an academic resource. Such stupidity should be left to the tabloids or drunkards in the public houses of the UK. Drogba was signed under Mourinho, and despite being a Manchester United fan, I agree totally with this article and will protest any changes.

I thought Drogba was also signed by him, no? Mandel 16:44, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Drogba and Kezman were both signed by Mourinho... Ranieri only signed Cech and Robben in Jan. 2004


A pedant writes - can you follow a gauntlet?

He's arrogant, but he still gets the job done. He still whips most managers' asses, even though I respect Benitez and Wenger too. Quit blaming him for shit that doesn't matter in football. Maybe your beloved 'insert name' masturbates and watches porn, but that doesn't give anyone the right to blame him for it. He is a manager first and foremost. And he's achieved great things with Porto, who ain't got Abramovich. And look at Real: same as Chelsea (money, players), but are shit.



There is one major error I have noticed in this article. It states that Mourino was undefeated in his home games as Chelsea boss. While he was undefeated in the Premier League, Chelsea were beaten at home by Charlton in the Carling Cup, and by Barcelona in the Champions league. Please fix this

[edit] Anders Frisk

I think it should be mentioned in the article that the allegation that Mourinho made on Anders Frisk after the FC Barcelona Champions League tie resulted in death threats made by Chelsea fans on Frisk's life, and this was a major cause in Frisk announcing his retirement.

Good point, from http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20050314/ai_n12943204

EUROPE'S MOST senior refereeing official yesterday accused Jose Mourinho of being an "enemy of football" for his role in inciting hysteria among Chelsea fans against Anders Frisk, the Swedish official who confirmed his retirement over the weekend in the wake of death threats.

Frisk was the referee for the first leg of Chelsea's last-16 Champions' League match against Barcelona, in the Nou Camp on 23 February, when Barca came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 after Frisk dismissed Didier Drogba.

Frisk has since endured what he has described as "the worst two weeks of my life", becoming the victim of abuse and threats via phone, fax and e-mail. While he has not yet publicised the nature of the threats, he believes they were the work of militant Chelsea fans and he has become sufficiently scared for his family's safety to bring a swift end to his refereeing career.

Mourinho, Chelsea's manager, has now been cited as partly responsible for the vendetta by Volker Roth, the chairman of Uefa's referees' committee.

[edit] Article style

This article is a personal opinion about Mourinho. For example, the following sentence "Any second rate manager with the kind of transfer budget the Bank of Russia enjoy every season could win the premiership year in year out." is not the kind of sentence you would wish to see in an encyclopedia. Besides that, I've known Mourinho before he went to Chelsea and his greatest achievements are the victories with FC Porto (a club without money, not like Chelsea) and not the current results with Chelsea. Anyway, even in Chelsea he has an impressive record, so I just think this article should be rewritten by an unbiased person.

Just go and change the POV. Don't even need to bother reporting this before you change it. Such people are clearly just vandals, with no wish of making Wikipedia NPOV. Mandel 18:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

as a celtic fan ive known defeat by mourinho first hand (uefa cup final 2003) and the guy is by far one if not the best managers in the world

no way they only beat celtic with their diving and play acting. they were lucky in the champions league too because a bad offside decision denied Paul Scholes a legitimate goal that would have knocked them out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.88.12 (talk)

[edit] Neutrality

I've added the NPOV tag - this article his horrendously biassed, as discussed above. If/when I have more time, I'll come back and try to clean it up, unless someone else beats me to it. Waggers 15:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Unless you can provide a valid, reputable, unbiassed source for such claims, they would be classified as Original Research and would therefore be excluded.. As it stands, such comments would definitely violate WP:NPOV. Waggers 16:30, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] updating

This article was extremely out of date and contained absolutely no information regarding Mourinho's progress at Chelsea throughout the 05/06 season and so I have updated it now (23rd April 2006) and will do so soon because such an influential and prominent figure in the sport of football deserves to have an up to date reference page. If anyone feels the article is slighly partisan, please ensure it is edited to preserve the article's crdibility and integrity. I have simply tried to cronicle the 05/06 season in a entertaining and literally sophisticated form of prose, as it is the only way to describe such a colourful persona. My update starts half way hrough the chelsea section with the line 'During the summer'User:Rory W-A 16:51 23RD APRIL 2006

[edit] Leiria

Leiria beste league finish with mourinho was fourth not fifth.


Whats wrong with him (Jose) he thinks no end of himself. As its always said "He who flies high falls hard."


NEED A HONOURS SECTION ON THAT !!!!

[edit] How could it be?

Hey, I'm just a reader who want to read some articles related to Jose Mourinho. Yes, the article is exist, off course, here in wikipedia. but, why do I got so many words of, I'm sorry, Moth*rfu*k*r? -feby 202.152.163.199 00:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately this article has been the subject of extensive vandalism lately. Please be bold and remove anything like this that you see. If you can identify which editor made the bad edit, please warn them on their talk page (see vandalism for more details). Thanks, Waggers 10:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

There is a slight mistake, where it mentions the victory over man u in april it should say 2006 otherwise it seems like it means 2005.

[edit] Manager Stats

How come it only features his managerial time at Chelsea. He did spend I think 2 years as manager of Porto. I would add this myself but I don't know the stats and I don't really know how to change it Craig Map 00:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

It's based on the info in the Soccerbase external link, which only features his stats for Chelski at present. I'll look for another source when I can. - Dudesleeper · Talk 02:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Soccerbase does have all of Porto's results (as far as I'm aware) from seasons 02/03 and 03/04, but to get Mourinho's record they'll have to be added manually... SteveO 16:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

You'd have to know the exact date for the first Mourinho game at Porto, as he started midway through the 2001-02 season. It'd be nice to know the exact dates for Benfica and Leiria so we could have a complete table of results.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 17:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, you could just put all the stats in and when it comes to the start date, just put in 'Unconfirmed' I'm sure we'll find it somewhere. Craig Map 23:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
According to ESPN, Mourinho was appointed Porto manager on 23rd January 2002. But unless there is another source for his overall Porto record, his results will have to be added up one by one via soccerbase. What fun! SteveO 17:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I did it lol, hopefully didn't mess up somewhere, the record should be about right. I counted the wins/losses/draws over a couple of times to be sure. God, I have no life! Jaana 14:48, 16 July 2007

[edit] Diver boy Messi

Since Mourinho was the coach of FC Barcelona B for some time, didnt he coach diver boy messi?--Yu5uF 10:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Champions League

Anybody going to add the bit where his team were knocked out? 82.42.102.45 00:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should, how the master Rafa plotted Chelsea's downfall in the Cl once again, deniying them a place in the final for their FIRST European Trophy. XD Jazza5 17:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
FOURTH european trophy actually numb nuts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.143.97 (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

who writes this stuff?! it was liverpools FIFTH european trophy, hence they got to keep the cup!. . .p.s. get some facts not opinions —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.137.76 (talk) 22:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Surely there should be a seperate section for all the arguments, rows and other controversies that he has been involved in, combined with the existing 'quotes' section, as Mourinho now seems to be known more for his notorious confrontations and remarks than he is for being a successful manager. Perhaps the Porto and Chelsea areas should be restricted to purely footballing events and all of the controversy and infamous quotes put in a seperate section. May 18th 2007

The above sounds sensible to me. --Peter cohen 18:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manager of the Year Award

It's now more than a few days since this year's award went to Steve Coppell, so can someone with editing capabilities please change this, as Jose is no longer the current incumbent. 195.26.62.192 08:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dreadful page

Is it written by a half-wit with an agenda against the manager of Chelsea?


[edit] What's with WWE?

Who wrote that Mourinho's children watch World Wrestling Entertainment? What does that have to do with Mourinho, Chelsea or football?172.163.70.203 21:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

He was in the front row of a recent Raw in London with his kids. Y2J RKO 23:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Also, pointing out that Félix Mourinho is his father is not relevant to the start paragraph. That fact is not what makes José Mourinho notable. Cigsandalcohol 22:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Totally agree with the above points. Who ever wrote this needs to stick to the core of what the article is suppost to inform the public of. Poorly written article, someone needs to edit this...maybe I will. Jazza5 17:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gone

It has just been reported that he has left Chelsea on Sky News.[1] Y2J RKO 23:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC) JOSE MOURINHO IS THE BEST MANAGER EVER, AND IBAMOVICH IS A MORAN FOR GETTING RID OF HIM

I agree. So, to Abromovich, here's anw nickname for you: Roman AbroMORONvich!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.93.152.6 (talk) 11:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One or Gone

He is not longer the special one he is the special gone. The Tramp 16:23, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


lame. keep working on the routine doofus —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.143.97 (talk) 23:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate Quote

I'm a new user, i can't modify. Here is the duplicate quote.

  • "There are only two ways for me to leave Chelsea. One way is in June 2010 when I finish my contract and if the club doesn't give me a new one. It is the end of my contract and I am out. The second way is for Chelsea to sack me. The way of the manager leaving the club by deciding to walk away, no chance! I will never do this to Chelsea supporters" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandru.Balan (talk • contribs) 09:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poem

Does that poem to Jose at the bottom of the Chelsea section really need to be there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arimx (talk • contribs) 10:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

People have been posting ridiculous and untrue comments in the article about Mourinho becoming Manager of England (which he isn't). Perhaps the article should be locked from editing until the FA choose a new manager. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvergunner (talk • contribs) 18:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mourinho and the England job

Mourinho has never been QUOTED as saying he doesn't want the England job, and the link to the BBC article doesn't say that he was. It says "BBC sport understands". The entire BBC article is hearsay and the only interview with him (in the Sun) says that he has ruled nothing out. I've never edited a page before and don't want to step on anyone's toes (not sure on procedure or whatever) but this should be corrected 193.129.64.154 (talk) 10:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inter/internazionale/Inter Milan

The article has been switching between the three at a rate of knots. I believe we should stick with "Inter" as a concession to English fans.

  • Note that we are in the minority referring to them as "inter milan"[2] - elsewhere in Europe it's either "Inter" or "internazionale". Similarly "A.C. Milan" is an English thing, just "Milan" being common on the continent. A.C. (atheletico club) is similar to F.C.

Please raise your concerns before changing things again. Thanks Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC) I agree with "Inter" but please link to the Inter entry, else some may have no idea what "Inter" is or means. Pegibson (talk) 15:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)pegibson

Ok take off the picture of him in that shirt and get a neutral one or him in an Inter shirt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.133.46 (talk) 00:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
