Hope Jose does well in Italy. Definitely the best league for him. Slower, more tactical and defensive. If he can't make it there he can't make it anywhere

Mourinho was flooding his instagram page with Throwback pictures for two weeks after leaving Spurs. I thought he was down bad. The man posted his way into a job. What a finesse.
