No Other Job In World Football Can Intimidate Me Anymore – Gareth Southgate

England manager, Gareth Southgate has come out to reveal how some wise words from Jose Mourinho have rung true with time. He recently had his say while discussing his future as England boss, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Mourinho once told him that now that he has reached the stage of being England manager, he would be able to do anything else with his career from here on.

Southgate added that the people who keep bringing up the fact that he got Middlesbrough relegated should know that he was not so experienced at the time.

His words, “I remember talking to Jose (Mourinho) when he was at Man United and he said: ‘You know, when you’ve done the role you’re in now, you’ll be able to do anything.’ Really? I thought that was probably right, but seven years into it, it’s definitely right.

Everybody would talk about Middlesbrough. ‘Oh, he got Middlesbrough relegated’. Well, yeah, in the third year, we got relegated. But I had three years of Premier League management.

There isn’t a job in world football that would intimidate or daunt you, having lived this one (England), frankly. You’re not going to have any higher profile, you’re not going to have any greater pressure, you’re not going to have any more complex issues.”
