[@CarefreeCooden]

When I was 12, I went to watch Chelsea reserves at Aldershot and Mourinho was in the directors box. He signed my programme and I thanked him for beating Man Utd at Old Trafford the week before 3-1 which made him beam a big smile. He asked me who my favourite player was and really made me feel special. It was only a 1 minute interaction but I’ll never forget it. He gave me some of the best memories of my life in those two spells as our manager. Brilliant to hear him talking like this.

[@5thdawg917]

So who was your favourite player?

[@NahlaMonroe-eu4mb]

The story is not complete…?

[@chinaman1]

In the last 10 years since Ferguson's retirement, Mourinho had to be the best that United had hired. He was working with players he never wanted, he was working with players who are always against him from training to matches, he was working with people who don't like his style, he was working with a lot of restrictions from the top and still came in top 2 and even won a European tournament.

He's not faultless, but it's impossible to not call him one of the best managers that's ever lived.

[@stvvbee]

It's great now hearing Obi's managers speak so highly of him. You understand now how underrated this guy was during his playing days.

[@nascimentoarantes]

He wasn’t underrated. He didn’t maximize his talent. Sure he got money and some trophies but he mostly a squad player, didn’t leave a mark in the game. I wished for his own sake he took a risk like KDB and Salah did. Because those two will go down in history as some of the very best to do it, while Mikel is busy talking about getting approval of Lampard and JT. Did Argen Robben need those men approval? Did Eden Hazard need it? No, because they were world class ballers.

Mikel was like a final whistle come early for Josè. There were so many matches when opponents would be 1 or 2 goals down, and Jose would bring Mikel on, around the hour mark and everyone around the ground including the fans and the opponents were like, ok so this game is done, no goal will happen anymore, neither for Jose nor the opponents. It's over. You don't get the home record he had without players like that who could kill games like that.

Man U's record of appreciation and treatment of great players and coaches, is absolutely disgusting. Jose is not the only one, there are uncountable players that left due to this. Any genuine fan of football and even non-fans of Man U, can clearly see this repeated pattern of absolute disgusting and unfair treatment, instigated largely by the Press and also from the lousy management structure. When these great players leave, they flourish elsewhere and get the admiration and thanks which they deserve. Man U languishing in no man's land now is what it deserves to be. Period.

That Tottenham comment about them sacking him before the final… ugh levy and the board were insane for that timing. As a Chelsea fan, I really thought they could’ve ended their trophy drought💀

[@boranono7636]

The Special One will always be the Special One. Kudos to John Obi and the Team for bringing Jose on the Podcast. It was really fun to watch.

[@elishaoluwafemi1982]

Mikel once said he used to feel Mourinho was around cautioning him even after Mourinho had left the club. That’s what makes Mourinho special, that emotional connection to his players and fans alike.

Arsne Wenger Banter never goes away 😂😂😂 Classic Jose!

[@garconp6465]

Oh how we need this guy back at Chelsea is a understatement

[@ta_lineb1182]

Forever the SPECIAL ONE. Thank you for everything Jose.

Obi thank you for starting this💙💙. It was about time a chelsea legend made a channel here in yt and called all the chelsea players and managers for a podcast been waiting for a very long time and you finally delivered. Big up! And jose will always be The Only #SpecialOne

[@princequaye6741]

This was very very good. We have too many reasons to keep loving Jose

[@lsf3699]

This was a great interview. It shows the coach is evolving and he is humble enough to admit mistakes of coaching style that cannot be used in recent times. these days everyone is in their feelings and so emotional that you cannot even correct them..

[@sam-you-el]

You did it. You Brought the Special One... A younger me would be in tears. What an interview

[@sykeg2525]

The realest football manager you will ever witness. The special one.

[@essaarif1292]

Greatest Podcast with the greatest Manager 💙💙💙

[@osmosview3884]

Never thought I'd spend an hour watching a podcast, but with the special one, it's worth it, and im proud of you, obi.

I know that Jose will get another very good project after Roma because he is addicted to the game and good owners of ambitious projects will always value his experience! As a Manchester United fan,it is so sad that some ignorant fans are finally realising that the player power virus in our club that Mourinho wanted to eradicate was allowed to thrive and now fans have finally smelt the coffee! Pogba and Martial never went ahead to achieve anything and we can see how their careers have faltered because of their entourage,agents and owners who back these people over managers at the club! Those players were the genesis of the culture problems at the club and now fans will not let players destroy another young manager at our club! Jose Mourinho is sounding everyday like a prophet and we are seeing it unfold before our eyes! Thank you Jose for opening the eyes of Manchester United to the problems at the club! Love long and prosper "Special one"!

The minutes flew by so quickly i wanted more time. This is the absolute best of my bunch. José is a religion to some of us. Would love to listen to him everyday. I am fascinated by his memory of events in his coaching career. May God keep you longer José, i love you boss
