Jose Mourinho's iconic first Chelsea press conference
Mourinho himself also spoke out recently about rejecting a move to the Portugal national side - something he now regrets turning down.
He said: "It’s normal that I would go with Portugal.
"I had the chance to go twice, but they didn’t come at the right time for me.
"I got emotional when I didn’t accept the last offer, because I decided to stay at Roma and I think I made a mistake.
"Because now Portugal has a fantastic team, one of the best, in the top five.
"I knew it, but I felt a great connection with Roma, with the fans, so I didn’t want to make that decision."
It would have been the first non-managerial role of the Special One's recent career.
He did, however, outline the minimum requirements for his next job in late April.
He told : "The only thing I want is that the targets and the objectives have to be established by everyone in a fair way.
"I cannot go to a club where, because of my history, the objective is to win the title. No.
"The only thing I want is that it has to be fair.
"Do you think if I was at a big Premier League club and we were sixth, seventh, eighth, in the table, I still have a job?
"What I am saying is people [should] look at me the way they look at others.
"What is important for me is if the club has objectives and for me to be able to say I am ready to fight for these.
"I don’t want to say realistic, but [at least] semi-realistic.

"Because when I went to Roma nobody was dreaming about European Cup finals and we did it.
"It’s not possible I go to a club almost relegated and the objective is to win the Champions League. It’s good but it is not fair.”
