n.— «The man is sickeningly talented and he knows it. That’s Mourinho, not the other one. He exudes gallusness, he can debate astro-physics in six languages, he’s enormously wealthy, witty, exceedingly good-looking, charitable—all of the book profits are going there—and with his management abilities he could even get Partick Thistle into Europe without declaring war.» —“Mourinho has mirror swooning” by Ron McKay Sunday Herald (Glasgow, Scotland) Dec. 19, 2005.
