The amount that the leadership of "Fenerbahçe" will pay Portuguese specialist José Mourinho for his release has become known.
“I think success in football is still measured by victories. Today, it is evaluated by another criterion: the media presence plays a very important role in a manager’s career. I believe perception is very important. Many people say something that makes me laugh: ‘Mourinho is not the same as he was before, he has lost his identity’. It’s better to lose identity and win. I think those who say this will win less. There is something that makes me feel even better — it’s how I win, where I win.
Winning the Champions League with ‘Porto’ is not the same as winning the Champions League with ‘Barcelona’. Winning the Champions League with ‘Inter’ is not the same as winning the Champions League with ‘Real Madrid’. One can say: ‘Okay, but you were at ‘Real’ and didn’t win the Champions League’; I didn’t win the Champions League, but I won the championship title and the cup, I defeated ‘Barcelona’, the best team in the world, and I broke the great circle of ‘Barcelona’s’ dominance over ‘Real’.
The last UEFA title I won with ‘Roma’, the first and only title ‘Roma’ has in Europe, so what I did is not just about the number of titles I won, but also about how I won them. I am one of the best, and if someone says ‘no’, I won’t agree with them,” Mourinho is quoted by Fanatik.
