Adamant Mourinho Says “I’m One Of The Greatest “
Jose Mourinho has declared that he is “one of the greatest managers in the world” following wide-scale criticism on the back of Manchester United’s consecutive Premier League defeats.
The Red Devils were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Tottenham at Old Trafford having suffered a 3-2 defeat to Brighton in their second fixture of the 2018-19 campaign.
Those results have seen Mourinho face huge criticism, with many predicting that he could be sacked before too long and the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino touted as potential replacements.
Mourinho, though, delivered a message of defiance, telling reporters: “I am the manager of one of the greatest clubs in the world but I am also one of the greatest managers in the world.”
He added: “I had great success last season and that’s what you probably don’t want to admit.
“I analyse my performance, myself and for me it is more important what I think than what you think. I repeat that two seasons ago we had a fantastic season by winning the Europa League.
“This season and last everybody thought Atletico Madrid were amazing because they won the Europa League after being knocked out of the Champions League.”
