Mourinho: “When I leave Fenerbahce I will go to a team that will not play in UEFA competitions”

Delightful once again o Jose Mourinhoin his statements after Fenerbahce’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United, for the 3rd round of the Europa League.

The Portuguese coach stole the show again with his comments after the match in Istanbul, talking about the referee’s decision to send him off, expressing his desire for his next team not to play in UEFA competitions, while praising the of his footballers for their appearance.

What the Fenerbahce coach said in detail:

“The best thing for me to do is when I leave Fenerbahce, to go to a team that doesn’t play in UEFA competitions. So if a bottom-of-the-table English team needs a manager in two years’ time, I’m ready to go, and I have nothing else to say about it.

In terms of the game, we played fantastic against a team that, in theory, is better than us. United got a point against us, not the other way around. I told my players that if we play like this in Turkey, we will destroy every opponent. Of course, the Premier League has more quality, more energy, more speed, everything. “Probably in England they will talk about United’s absences, but they don’t know how many of our players were out.”.

For the referee of the match and his dismissal: “After the match he said something fantastic to me. He could see the action in the big box and how I was doing on the bench at the same time. I congratulate him because he is incredible at what he does. His peripheral vision was awesome during the game, he had one eye on the penalty box and the other on the bench watching my behavior. That’s the explanation he gave me, that’s why he’s one of the best referees in the world. If I appeal I’ll be banned for six months, so I’m not going to do that. From the Conference League final in 2023, there is nothing I can do. That’s the way things are. That’s why I say that maybe in the future I’ll be better off without European competitions”.
