A Quote by Filipe Luis

Speaking about Mourinho is always controversial, and there's always some intrigue surrounding him. But he is an awesome coach who tries to take the maximum from each and every one of his players.
Pep is a modern coach, he's intelligent, brave, likes football and always has the players on his side. He knows a lot about football, but Mourinho's success in all countries where he has been confirms him as the best.
If the coach on the sidelines is not that strong, transmitting the kind of spirit he has, players won't always handle it well. Life becomes difficult. But, with Mourinho, everything is good. He knows when to be among his players, as 'one of us' making jokes as a friend, and when to be strong and distant, even severe.
People usually think that it is the coach who has to raise the spirits of his players; that it is the coach who has to convince his footballers; that it is his job to take the lead all the time. But that's not always the case.
Mourinho was always very strong for his players, and you needed to deliver for him. For me, it was good.
I love Coach K's passion to coach his players and to coach the game. I examined and watched the interaction between him and his staff, along with the players, and was impressed how hard they played.
Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.
Change does not mean you will win with a new coach and achieve victories, but rather it causes instability in the team as the new coach needs some time for the players to adapt his new plans, which are always different than the previous coach.
I had other offers, but Mourinho is Mourinho. It's exciting to work with him, he is the best coach in the world and I want to work with him for a long time.
Mourinho's teams work especially hard, all the players. He has a special, winning mentality, so it is always difficult to face teams that Mourinho manages.
I like Mourinho a lot. He has a good relationship with fans, and he always takes responsibility for his players.
Wijnaldum always tries to do some jokes inside the dressing room. He's always winding people up. He always tries to speak in Portuguese or Spanish with us and dancing.
I always keep my options open. I always say, "Make me an offer and send me the script, and if it's something that I can connect to or relate to..." The character has to intrigue me, and the project overall has to intrigue me. And if it all lines up properly, then we can get into the business side of it. But it's always about the creative first.
Jim Tomsula is going to be great coach for us. Players' coach. Always around the guys. Someone that's willing to listen to what the players say and has their intake.
I worked with Mourinho and I became his friend as well. He likes me a lot and I like him a lot as a coach and as a person. He has put his trust in me and in my work, and I was very grateful to him.
Mauricio always tries to give you the opportunity to keep improving. I think that's his main quality, that he always wants you to be the best, and I think that affects a lot of players.
If a coach is not straight, players soon find him out. Mourinho is very straight. He says what he thinks and he says it to your face.
