Won trophies in four countries because I tried to understand team, claims Jose Mourinho

Over the years ever since his managerial debut, few managers have done as well as Jose Mourinho has on the biggest stages with the Portuguese boss thriving everywhere he went. That includes spells at Porto, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Tottenham and even Manchester United with the now 59-year-old winning trophies everywhere but at Spurs. However, that hasn’t dimmed his legacy one bit as Mourinho has continued that winning tradition at AS Roma, winning the first edition of the Europa Conference League.

"What is more, I have won in these four countries very, very early on. I did not need to be there three, four or five years to win. It was immediately. In the first or maximum second season. I think that is because I tried to understand the team. I studied,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
