Former Black Stars coach Avram Grant backs Jose Mourinho to return back to football better equipped

Published on: 22 December 2018

Ex-Black Stars coach Avram Grant believes sacked Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will return to football with "new knowledge."

Jose Mourinho was sacked by Manchester United last week following their defeat to Liverpool in the English Premier League.

Avram Grant worked with the Portuguese briefly before Mourinho left Chelsea in September 2008.

“He was not a genius when they said he was a genius and he’s not useless like they’re saying now,” Grant says.

“I think it is not the last title Jose has won.”

“I enjoyed talking with Jose, a very intelligent guy, very nice to sit one-on-one with and I don’t remember one minute of anger,” Grant says.

“When he feels attacked, he responds. I told him one time you need to count to 10 before you answer.

“He is very passionate and sometimes insecure. He feels the need to respond to everybody. But every minute with him as a person was enjoyable.”
