Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has sparked fresh transfer speculation after being spotted in Berlin for the DFB-Pokal final. Recall that the incoming Real Madrid boss is reportedly keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich star Michael Olise.
Reacting, Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness made it clear that any attempts to lure the player away from the Allianz Arena would be futile.
He concluded by issuing a stinging rebuff to Mourinho‘s scouting mission in Germany.
His words, “He can cast five eyes on Olise; he won’t get him. He remains unsellable. I hope I don’t run into him, because he could have saved himself the trip from Madrid.”
WOW.
Jose Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.
Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.
His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
