According to Mundo Deportivo, Mourinho accepted an interview in a Netflix documentary, while his statement sparks controversies. Mourinho said that some people need to take a year off, and that in his view this stands for weakness.
For many years, Mourinho and Pep Guardiola have had friction, especially during the period when the former was coaching Real Madrid and the latter was in charge of Barcelona. Their clashes have drawn considerable attention, and according to Mourinho’s remarks in the latest documentary, The Special One, that rivalry may well continue.
The matter stems from Guardiola choosing to take a year off before leaving Barcelona in 2013 and joining Bayern Munich. Mourinho said he would never do that.
Mourinho said: “I cannot even imagine when I will stop working in football. I say I will keep going for another 10 years, but perhaps it will be more than 10 years. It is very interesting. I want to win more trophies, to do so in places where I have never coached, and to do so again in places where I have already been successful.”
He added: “My world is walking into a football stadium with 50,000 or 90,000 fans in it. I have experienced a crowd of 100,000 fans, and that is my world. Without football, I would feel that something was missing. But I don’t think this is an obsession. I don’t see it as an obsession. Once you reach to a certain level, you just want to stay there forever.”
Mourinho believes that taking time away from the dugout is a sign of weakness.
He said: “Some people need a year to recover, and that is something I hate. I hate that phrase. To me, a year of recovery means weakness. Don’t talk to me about a sabbatical year. I’ve never needed a break, and I’ll rest after I’m dead.”

Sure, Mou has found a new life in Madrid after languishing in derision for so many years. He's decided to open his big mouth to talk nonsense about the greatest coach of this generation and some nuisance of fans are busy supporting him. Show me one coach who has achieved what Pep has in recent times than we'd listen to what he has to say. Wayward people standing together... 😂🤣

Without knowing his personal ground and passing a judgement is an identity of an idiot.

Im a huge fan of Mourinho and what he did at Chelsea especially the first time around was something extremely special and had he stayed with that team for another 5 years or so he would've won a shit ton of trophies at Chelsea and probably would've won us the CL 1 or 2 times prior to 2012 and definitely a few more league titles and domestic trophies, he definitely would've made Chelsea an even more successful club. But really after he left Madrid he didn't do a whole lot while Pep was winning league title after league title with City, Pep stayed consistent while Mourinho kinda fell off and got figured out and he hasn't really adapted his tactics much, while neither has Pep, but Pep is still winning with his approach, and while I believe City should have more than 1 CL title to show for Peps 8 years in charge they still absolutely cleaned up domesticly and won the treble, something only man utd and Ferguson have done in 99' so that tells you how extremely hard that is to win!! so even tho Chelsea's my team and Mourinho was our most successful manager and I love him for that, Pep is the better manager.
