Top Mourinho Quotes so Far in His Second Chelsea Stint

When Jose Mourinho was unveiled as the new manager at Chelsea Football Club, the English press rejoiced alongside the Stamford Bridge faithful, as they welcomed the return of the man who gave them some of the best quotes that they have ever heard in English football.

However, since his return to these shores, his demeanor has been surprisingly relaxed, and his press conferences surprisingly diplomatic. Is this the start of a new Jose Mourinho, or is this just the calm before the storm of the Premier League season?

Nevertheless, Mourinho has still provided us with some timeless wisdom each time he has shared his thoughts since his return to London.

Here are the best Jose Mourinho quotes during his second Chelsea stint.

On His Return to Chelsea

The Special One is excited for a brand new marriage (via The Daily Mail):

"

Now we are back together and we are getting together at a great moment for us both, so I think we are ready to marry again and be happy and successful. I had to prepare myself not to be too emotional but, obviously, I am very happy. I love it here.

"

On the Europa League

Jose doesn't think much of Benitez' achievements last season (via BBC Online):

"

I don't want to win the Europa League. It would be a big disappointment for me. I don't want my players to feel the Europa League is our competition.

"

On Wayne Rooney

No mind games here (via Goal):

"

The one who sells has to go and buy, then they have to buy to replace, so no club is safe. Until the last minute, a club can go there and 'steal' a player. I don't mean steal a player, but steal the balance that a manager has when he's working with a team.

If that is playing mind games, what would you say if I spoke bad about him? The best thing is not to speak, and if I don't speak.

Any player that wants to go to the World Cup... if they are second choice in their club they are in trouble.

"

On Manchester United's Chances of Re-Signing Ronaldo

Hint: They are not great (via The Guardian):

"

What I know is that Madrid is such a rich club they don’t need to sell. It is such a rich club I think they can ‘eat’ any offer a club can make for Ronaldo.

I know Ronaldo loves Manchester United and I know he loves the Premier League but I think he is going to stay. It’s just a feeling, I’ve had no contact, nothing like that — it’s just a feeling.

"

On Fernando Torres

Who is the right person to get the best out of him? Probably Jose (via FIFA):

"

I think I know Fernando quite well in terms of a player. I think I know the best way for a team to play to try to get the best out of him, so I will try to help him, the same way I try to help other people.

"

On Arsene Wenger

They are friends now (via The Daily Mail):

"

He's a very nice guy...That's also football and sometimes even if you are friends and respect each other, you say something the other doesn't like and you react. But, at the end of the day, I respect him a lot and I have the feeling that he is the same in relation to me. I wouldn't bet for one single problem between us.

"

But he couldn't resist one slightly backhanded compliment, when asked about Wenger's trophy drought:

"

Because of my mentality, I would feel strange. You can do very good work for a club without winning lots of trophies.
