Personal Quotes

"We have top players and - I apologize if I sound arrogant, a top manager". - presenting himself as Chelsea's new manager.

"Football is a game about feelings and intelligence. Everybody can be smart. The trick is not believing the other's stupid." - as Porto's manager.
"Ferguson is right. Money does not guarantee success. I showed that last season when my Porto team beat Manchester United."

On Tottenham - September 2004 'As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal. I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend. There was only one team looking to win, they only came not to concede - it's not fair for the football we played.'
