However, Mourinho confessed that he had made regretful decisions in his career. Mourinho said in an interview with Corriele delosport in Italy on the 1st (Korea time) that `I regret leaving Real Madrid even though President Florentino Perez was dissuaded.'
Mourinho, who took the helm of Real Madrid in 2010, won Copadelay the following year and La Liga in the 2011-2012 season. However, he failed to win the title in the European Champions League.
Mourinho said, `President Perez said, `You don't have to go now. There must be better things to do here.' But I also had some difficulties during my three years in Spain. I wanted to go back to Chelsea. A decision made with one's heart..." he looked back.
It wasn't just regretting leaving Real Madrid.
Mourinho also said he regretted not leaving AS Roma earlier. Mourinho, who had dropped his baton in Rome in January 2024, should have left Budapest in May 2023 (just after the Europa League final)."
There were not a few wounds from Rome. He won the conference league and finished second in the Europa League, but eventually had to accept the result of his replacement due to poor performance. Mourinho did not hide his uncomfortable feelings by leaving the conference league championship ring in the locker room that the players produced and presented after Rome's decision to dismiss him.
Since then, Mourinho has become a hippopotamus on several teams. It was reported that Chelsea and Bayern Munich were interested, but Fenerbahce eventually signed a two-year contract.
