"It was a mistake to go back to Chelsea from Real Madrid."

Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce expressed his belated regret over his return to Chelsea in the English Premier League from Real Madrid in 2013.

Mourinho took the helm of Inter Milan in 2010 after a brilliant first term at Stampford Bridge in Chelsea from 2004 to 2007 and spent three seasons as Real Madrid's head coach, defeating arch-nemesis Barcelona in 2012 to lift the La Liga trophy. He suddenly returned to Chelsea in 2013 while walking on a flowery path in La Liga and lifted his third Premier League trophy in the 2014-2015 season, but Mourinho said, `I shouldn't have gone then"I regret it.

Mourinho expressed his intention not to leave Santiago Bernabeu in an interview with Corriere dello Sport on the 1st (Korea time), recalling the situation in which Real Madrid President Florentino Perez persuaded him to stay. He said "It's regrettable that I told Florentino Perez 'No'" Chairman Perez "Don't leave me. You've done the hard work and the best part is yet to come. I knew it was true, but at the time, I wanted to come back to Chelsea after three years of big challenges in Spain."

Mourinho then recalled the Europa League final, which AS Roma lost to Sevilla in Budapest, Hungary in 2023, as the most regrettable moment. He was subsequently replaced in January 2024 after a chaotic first half of the season.

After losing the final against Sevilla, Mourinho faced referee Antony Taylor in the parking lot and made a hot topic of swearing in the second round, but it was not this scene that Mourinho regretted.




Mourinho said, `Budafest is also the most regrettable. I regret that I didn't leave AS Roma right then, not because of my clash with Antony Taylor. I should have left Rome right away. It didn't and it was a mistake."

Mourinho's Fenerbahce is in second place with 36 points, eight points behind Galatasay (44 points) in the Turkiye Super League. He will start the new year with a home game against Hatayspore on the 6th. On the 24th, the team will play the Europa League against Olympique Lyonnais at its home turf. "My dream is to go to the European Champions League, the Club World Cup, and integrate the country around the team, as I have already done many times at other clubs," he said. "I want to work for football and what it represents. It's going to be a great thing. "I love football and my work. I don't want to wait for the ideal opportunity, the perfect place, or have a sabbatical. He constantly expressed his willingness to work in football.
