Mourinho: If a coach dies for his own philosophy, he is a fool. Now the coach needs to adapt to the players
Fenerbahce head coach Mourinho recently interviewed Canal 11, and he talked about his future, the difficulties of being a coach now, and the Club World Cup.
"I haven't won any honors in Turkey, but I want to continue working here. I have a lot to do."
Speaking about the changes in football today and the changes in the protagonists in football, Mourinho said: "The best people are no longer the ones who win the championship, but those who know how to better create their own image. It's harder to be a coach. The preparations are different, the game has changed, and the media has become the main role. Good public relations are needed now: football is now set off by perception, not by results. Some coaches say: 'I die for my philosophy. 'If you die for your philosophy, you are a fool. You need to adapt to the players you are under. '
"Premier League? In 2004, Benitez and I came to the Premier League, and we both were European champions. Now the Premier League is unknown coaches who have never won any honors. People prefer people who sell themselves, not those who know how to win. '
Mourinho talked about the Club World Cup that ended not long ago with a sarcastic whisper: "It reminds me of the games I took Real Madrid or Inter to the United States. It's more like a summer tour than an elite event. This title is only useful for Chelsea, because they will sell a lot of jerseys with this championship armband." '
