José Mourinho has made headlines by admitting a significant shift in his approach to coaching. In a revealing interview with UEFA, the Benfica manager confessed that he has moved away from his past egocentric tendencies.
The Special One now sees himself as a transformed man and coach, emphasizing a more altruistic mindset.
Mourinho stated, “I am better today than I was before. I believe that a coach improves after numerous experiences. The main difference I recognize in myself is that I was perhaps more egocentric at the beginning of my career. Now, I feel more selfless.” Such a confession from a man known for his strong personality and self-promotion is nothing short of shocking.

He continued, “I feel I am in football to help others rather than to help myself. I am here to support my players more than to think about what will happen in my life. I think more about the club, more about the joy of the supporters, than about myself.” This new outlook raises eyebrows, considering Mourinho’s history of being in the spotlight for his bold statements and behavior.
Mourinho’s Focus: Club and Fans Over Personal Glory
This admission marks a striking contrast to the Mourinho fans and critics have come to know over the years. Will this new mindset stick? Only time will tell if the Special One can maintain this more team-oriented perspective amidst the pressures of top-flight football.
As the football world watches closely, Mourinho’s transformation may influence not just his coaching methods but also the atmosphere at Benfica.
The question remains: can a leopard truly change its spots, or is this merely a temporary shift in the ever-charismatic José Mourinho?
