Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is reported to have broken down in tears,
after he heard that Sir Alex Ferguson had picked David Moyes as the new
Manchester United manager.
According to Daily Post, these claims are made by
respected Spanish journalist Diego Torres, who writes for El Pais. In
the book, Prepare to Lose: the Mourinho Era, Torres insists that
Mourinho was disappointed by Ferguson’s decision and the appointment of
Moyes “provoked an earthquake”.
“Mourinho … thought that Ferguson was, besides his
ally, also his friend and godfather. He was convinced that they were
tied by a relationship of genuine trust. He thought that his fabulous
collection of titles constituted an ‘endorsement’ unreachable to any
other contenders. When he knew that Ferguson had elected Moyes, the
Everton coach, he was struck by a terrible disbelief. Moyes hadn’t won
absolutely anything!”
Torres said that Mourinho was on the phone constantly to his sports
agency Gestifute. “Mourinho wouldn’t stop calling them. His
‘interlocutors’ had heard him sob loudly and they were spreading the
word. The most feared man in the company was crushed.”
