Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he will be “one of the greatest managers in the world” even if he does not win the Premier League at the club.
United have lost two of their first three league games, their worst start to a season since 1992‑93.
Defending his record, the 55‑year‑old quoted a German philosopher and said he was “the only manager to win in Italy, Spain and England”.
He also called second place last season as one of his greatest achievements.
Mourinho says he is the manager of the one of the greatest clubs in the world but he also is one of the greatest managers in the world.
Asked if he would still be a great manager if he did not win the title with United ‑ who have won the English top flight 20 times, including 13 Premier Leagues ‑ the Portuguese replied: “Of course”.
Mourinho’s latest comments come after a news conference during which he demanded “respect” from journalists following 3‑0 home loss to Tottenham ‑ the heaviest home defeat of his career.
He pointed out that the three Premier League titles he had won previously with Chelsea were more than the rest of the division's managers combined.
