Jose Mourinho's relationship with the media

However, it wasn't just on the pitch where Mourinho was causing ripples as he constantly tussled with the infamous English media.

He was never afraid to speak his mind and that made him a real box office attraction for newspapers and fans alike.

One of his finest media moments came when Chelsea were going through a bit of a difficult patch and the media felt 'The Special One' might just be feeling the squeeze.

Having been asked if he was beginning to feel the pressure, he was quick to remind the journalist about his famous Champions league triumph with Porto before he became Chelsea boss.

“I’m not feeling the pressure, no”, he quickly responded.

“You can not put pressure on me. No chance. No chance. I read a lot of time this week that I have a lot prove in English football.”

"Sir Alex Ferguson is the only European champion in this country. Only one… So I have to prove what?"

Go on then, Jose.

Of course, he would later go onto to prove the doubters wrong as he transformed Chelsea from Premier League also-rans into a continental superpower.

While he would never guide them to European glory, he will always be remembered as the man who built the modern-day powerhouse that is Chelsea FC.
