🚨 José Mourinho on Mikel Arteta winning the league with Arsenal:
“That could be Manchester United—but only if they understand one thing: patience. Look at Arteta: two or three seasons without winning, finishing second, yet the club and the fans continued to support him. They believed in the same project and gave it time to grow.
At United, it’s different. You start building something, but before the structure is ready, everything changes. A new manager, new ideas, new players… over and over again.
Success doesn’t come from constant change—it comes from stability, trust, and giving a project the time it needs to succeed.”
🚨 José Mourinho on comparisons between Pep Guardiola and Sir Alex Ferguson after Manchester City’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea:
“No, no, no… that is not even close.”
“Yes, Pep Guardiola is a great coach. What he has done with Manchester City is fantastic, the football is beautiful and the trophies are there.”
“But Sir Alex Ferguson? Come on. You speak like people who did not watch football.”
“Sir Alex built different generations of winning teams over more than 20 years. Different players, different eras, different rivals and still he continued winning.”
“He did not always have the biggest spending power, but Manchester United remained at the top because of his mentality and leadership.”
“What Sir Alex did was not just coaching tactics, it was building a football empire.”
“Pep has coached incredible teams with incredible structures, but Sir Alex rebuilt Manchester United again and again while the whole league kept changing around him.”
“One dominated with perfection. The other dominated through generations.”
“For me, Sir Alex Ferguson is still untouchable.”
