Mourinho planning early retirement
-
Chelsea's Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho plans to retire from coaching well before he reaches his 60s.
"I think my career won't be too long, it will be a shorter career than that of those traditional coaches who are still active at 60 or 65. I don't want any of that," he told sports daily A Bola.
"But I want to live out my career at the highest level of intensity, responsibility, of pressure," he added. "I don't know how to live without pressure anymore."
Mourinho, 43, joined London-based Chelsea in June 2004 from Portuguese side FC Porto in a deal worth 4.2 million pounds a year. He signed a new five-year deal with the London-based club in May 2005.
The Chelsea manager has said he wishes to run the Portuguese national team at some point in his career. -

hey being a manager for an epl club is already versy stressful, what more for a club like chelsea and man u.
I think mourinho doesnt want a heart attack lar, he wants to enjoy life in his 60s I suppose. he is now working hard for his money, when he reaches 60, he can kiss soccer goodbye and enjoy his retirement without having to worry abt money anymore. everyday go to beach with his family, sun tan and swimming. -
I dun think he will be a beach football team coach after he retired..

Jock Stein as scotland manager in the 80s. he was a celtic legend, won celtic first european cup in the 60s.Originally posted by precipice:i am surprised why no managers died at the sidelines.

he collapses during the match, just before scotland were to go to the world cup in 1986. sir alex took over the scotland manager rein during the world cup for 1 month only. -
