Mou shows soft side
Thursday 8 October, 2009

During an interview with a group of kids, Inter boss Jose Mourinho joked he swears all the time and laughs in his sleep so he doesn't have to when he is awake.

The 'Special One' was a guest on Paolo Bonolis's TV show on Mediaset.

One of the kids took a particular interest in Mourinho's status as one of the highest earning trainers in football, asking if he gets paid even when Inter don't win.

Mourinho replied: “Usually the Coaches earn more when they have been sacked than when they are working, but I prefer to work than earn more.”

Another kid said he rarely sees Mourinho having fun and asked him if he does actually have the capacity to laugh.

“Hopefully I laugh when I sleep and I have no need to do so after,” Mourinho joked.

The former Chelsea tactician then fielded questions on his playing ability, admitting: “I wasn't a phenomenon but I haven't done bad as a trainer.”

One kid called Jordan plays in goal and asked Mourinho if he had any advice.

Mourinho replied: “The goalkeeper is alone on the pitch. He has a different jersey. He occupies a different position and has to be good, not only technically, but also psychologically strong and determined.”

Finally Mourinho admitted that he swears a little too much and would never train a team of women.

“Yes, I say swear words with my players and with my assistants when I am angry.

“I don't see myself training a women's team, because it's already difficult training men and it would be even more so with women,” Mourinho concluded.
