Jose Mourinho quotes:.
On former managerial rival Sir Alex Ferguson...

“Maybe when I am 60 and have been managing in the same league for 20 years, and have the respect of everybody, I will have the power to speak to people and make them tremble a little bit.”
(Sir Alex on Mourinho. “Forget the mind games. I like him. I think he sees himself as the young gunslinger who has come into town to challenge the sheriff who has been around a while.”)
.
Mourinho on taking over at Inter Milan...

.
