God Doesn't Care Who Wins.. Jose Mourinho Admits He Never Prays for Chelsea

Statistically speaking, Chelsea football manager Jose Mourinho is the most successful club manager in world football. He has won the league titles in each of the four countries where he has managed – his native Portugal, Italy, Spain and England. He has won the Champions League twice.

You would think he talks to God every time before his wins, however, in a new interview, Jose says the reverse is the case -  he talks to God every day, but never about football and never discusses the game with his wife.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mourinho admitted that he has a strong faith in God and he tries his
best to separate his professional and his family life. The 52-year-old football manager and father-of-two said:
'I believe totally, clearly. Every day I pray; every day I speak with Him. I don't go to the church every day, not even every week. I go when I feel I need to. And when I'm in Portugal, I always go.' 
What does he pray for?
"For my family! For my kids, for my wife, for my parents, for happiness and a good family life. But I can say the reality is I never go to the church to speak with Him about football. Never!"'
Despite his intensely arrogant persona on the sideline, Mourinho also claims that he is a good person.


'I think so. I try to be. And I think I am. I don't have problems with family or friends. I am a good family person; I am a good friend. I try to support people that I don't even know. Do I make mistakes? Yes. My professional area is not only very competitive – it is competitive and emotional and [you must] push people for a certain kind of behaviour – absolutely, yes. But the professional life is only part of a person; a person is much more than that.'
Chelsea are currently top of the league and are playing struggling QPR this weekend.

Mourinho and his wife, Matilde, were teenage sweethearts, growing up a street away from each other in the coastal town of Setúbal. They have been married for 26 years, and have two teenage children, also named Matilde and José.
