José Mourinho: "I was ten years old when my father was fired on Christmas Day. He was a soccer coach, and his team’s results weren’t good. They had lost a match one or two days before Christmas. On Christmas Day, while we were sitting at the table for lunch, the phone rang. A brief call from a club executive: you’re fired. The news hit like a blow. No one finished eating, we left the table, and sadness filled the house. Even the Christmas presents went unopened that day. From that moment, I made my decision: I would be a coach. I would fight until the day my father’s name was known all over the world. To this day, I wear clothes similar to his, and I have them specially made so they resemble his style. My father is my only role model in this world."
