Jose Mourinho hits out at managers who favour ‘philosophy’ over trophies – ‘If you win nothing, what is the point?’
Jose Mourinho has once again slammed managers who favour style over substance, following his apparent jibe at Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino earlier this year.Mourinho, the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, questioned those coaches who ‘sell the idea of a philosophy’, but fail to do the most important thing in football – win trophies.Mourinho has won 25 trophies throughout his successful career2

The likes of Klopp and Pochettino have been lauded for their excellent work at their respective clubs, but they remain without a single piece of silverware between them since joining English football.Mourinho, on the other hand, won numerous trophies with both Chelsea and Man United, and enjoyed further success at Porto, Inter and Real Madrid – even if his style of play is widely criticised.And the Portuguese says there’s no reason to be in football if you are not going to win anything. “I won titles everywhere I have been and I cannot run away from my mentality,” Mourinho told beIN SPORTS.“Some coaches like to sell the idea of a philosophy, but you have to sell the philosophy after you win.“If you win nothing, what is the point?

But the people who win consistently have a different idea about that.“If you speak about Guardiola, if you speak about Ancelotti, about the ones where obviously I belong, who have a career of victories over a long period, where are the young ones with a real impact in terms of results? Where are they?”Mourinho has been working as a pundit since he was sacked by Manchester United2

Mourinho remains out of work having left Man United last December, but he revealed he plans to return to management this summer.“I would like to be back in the summer in June for a new club and a new pre-season.“I know exactly what I don’t want. I know what I want, in terms of not the specific club but the nature of the job, the dimension of the job.”
