José Mourinho: "I was ten years old when my father was fired on Christmas Day.
He was a soccer coach, and his team’s results weren’t good. They had lost a match one or two days before Christmas.
On Christmas Day, while we were sitting at the table for lunch, the phone rang.
A brief call from a club executive: you’re fired.
The news hit like a blow. No one finished eating, we left the table, and sadness filled the house.
Even the Christmas presents went unopened that day.
From that moment, I made my decision: I would be a coach.
I would fight until the day my father’s name was known all over the world.
To this day, I wear clothes similar to his, and I have them specially made so they resemble his style.
My father is my only role model in this world."
