Pedro Is A Fantastic Player When He Doesn’t Dive – Mourinho

Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has come out to blast one of his former Chelsea signings, Pedro. He recently accused the Spaniard of diving during Sunday’s Rome derby, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if Pedro is a fantastic player any manager would love to work with, the way he dives makes you think he should consider swimming as a profession.

Mourinho added that the forward tried to rig his way into getting a penalty yesterday, but the officials were smarter.

His words, “Pedro is a fantastic player. But he could also be a swimmer because the way he dives in the pool is fantastic.”

WOW.

José Mário dos 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.

Mourinho has also been a part of social initiatives and charity work, helping with a youth project, bringing Israeli and Palestinian children together through football and donating his lucky jacket to Tsunami Relief, earning £22,000 for the charity. Since his appointment in 2014, he acts as a Global Ambassador of the United Nations’ World Food Programme.
