There's a headline we didn't think we'd have to write today.
At the time, there was lots of debate as to whether Jose Mourinho was really interested in the Man United job or if he his heart had always been set on returning to Chelsea. Well, according to a new book by El Pais journalist Diego Torres, the Special One actually wept when he found Moyes had been chosen ahead of him to take the helm at Old Trafford.
The extract from Torres' new book Preparense Para Perder (Get Ready To Lose) says Mourinho was 'incredulous', and shouted ‘But he’s won nothing.' when he heard the news.
Torres says that 'Mourinho, fed by his devoted agent [Jorge Mendes] believed that Ferguson, as well as an ally, was his friend and Godfather. He was convinced that they enjoyed a friendship of genuine trust.
'He thought that his fabulous collection of titles, two European Cups, seven League Cups and four in four different countries, constituted an endorsement no other candidate had.'
As ESPN reports, Torres adds, 'Those he was talking to, could hear him noisily sobbing and word spread. The most feared man in the company was crushed.'
