The Portuguese coach signs four-year contract
Realmadrid.com
Jose Mourinho is officially the head coach of Real Madrid after signing a deal through June 2014 on Monday.
After meeting with Florentino Perez, Jorge Valdano, Miguel Pardeza and several members of the Board, Jose Mourinho signed a four-year deal with Real Madrid.
Mourinho subsequently held a short conversation with President of Honor Alfredo di Stefano and was later presented with the pen used to ink his contract, a replica of the Santiago Bernabeu, a gold watch and a shirt with his name and the number 1 on the back.
On potential new arrivals at the Bernabeu...
The Portuguese also intimated that there would not be too many new arrivals at the Bernabeu this summer.
Instead, his focus would seem to be tactical as he looks to stamp his own image on the side, although he did reveal that there might be "three or four" new players.
"We have to respect the players here in the current squad. It's normal for the press to start looking at players that played under me in the past, like Maicon, who could be arriving according to journalists, but I'm happy with the current squad, we just may need three or four players to strengthen the team," he explained.
"What I want to do is give the team its own identity, and they'll do that by working together. The more you speak about a player, the more his price goes up
"Truth be told, I'm very pleased with the Real Madrid team. I don't think any radical changes need to be made. I think we need three or four players, just to give me a team that will adapt better to the style of play that I hope to implement.
"But I don't think it's going to be a summer of massive new changes here at Real Madrid.
"I think it's going to be a lot more relaxed this summer than it was last."
On the challenge of bringing the glory days back...
Mourinho was looking forward to the challenge of coaching at one of the European game's true giants.
"I don't whether I was born to coach Real Madrid but I was certainly born to coach," he added.
"I like to give myself a challenge and this is a challenge for me. Obviously Real Madrid is a very important club with a long history and that's very attractive for a coach.
"Being given this chance was something special for me and I have a winning attitude which is something i want to achieve here at Real Madrid.
"It's a club which should have important players and a good coach.
"Luckily, I've had a very good career and I'm absolutely delighted to be coaching Real Madrid. I always like to think that my players think like me.
"I want my players to want to be here and I want them to feel that they want to be here.
"I think every coach needs to be prepared for a challenge, but if a coach is scared of being sacked and doesn't work well, he's going to have problems.
"I believe in my abilities as a coach. I have a four-year contract which is more than enough to win and prepare a team to win in the future."
Mourinho also was keen to stress the positives about his appointment, and insisted that, despite the departure of predecessor Manuel Pellegrini, that he was not thinking at all about the possibility of being fired.
"I'm not thinking of being sacked. Manuel Pellegrini left the club," he added.
"I'm never going to be pleased because a coach was sacked.
"I hope that my new team have confidence in me and would like to thank Florentino Perez, the board of directors and Jorge Valdano for thinking I am the ideal candidate.
"It's all about hard work. I think it's very important to have confidence in yourself and the players should have confidence in themselves - that's key if you want to be successful.
"It's too early to speak about changes. I believe it's time to analyse the situation, to know my new club.
"I'm just a coach here at Real Madrid - that's my job. I'm here to coach the team and I'll be working in a big team. We have to work well together. I've always said it's important to have quality people working with me."
Nor was the Portuguese bothered by the nationality of a player, something which at Inter was often an issue with very few Italians in his squad at the San Siro.
"The nationality of a player really doesn't bother me. I don't think about it," he asserted.
"I look at what's best for the team. The identity of a club, no matter what, is not going to change."
On Barcelona...
The new coach was also at pains to stress that he was not anti-Real's great rivals Barcelona, in spite of the way in which some of his recent gestures have been interpreted.
"I'm not anti-Barcelona in any way. I'm Real Madrid's coach and I'm only worried about Real Madrid, not Barcelona," he said.
"I don't want to talk about Barcelona, I don't think about Barcelona too often. It doesn't bother me if people in Barcelona don't like me because it's not my problem, it's theirs.
On pressure...
Despite relishing the challenge of coaching a club with the expectaion levels of Los Blancos, Mourinho was at pains to stress that he didn't think that the job was the biggest challenge he had faced in his career.
The Portuguese instead pointed to the success he had enjoyed at his previous clubs, insisting that the burden of pressure was lessened by his proven track record.
"It's not the biggest test in my career. This is obviously a big challenge. I wouldn't change this seat for anywhere in the world. I have plenty of motivation. I give 100 per cent and I have done at every club I have coached," he said.
"I've got no added pressure. I think I've won the right to be here. I've proved myself as a coach at my previous clubs.
"The club are 100 per cent behind this new project. We share objectives, ideas, and names. We're looking for certain players who bring new qualities to the side. It's' not about big name players arriving at the club. It's about what they can bring to the club.
"I have brought three teams to the finals of the biggest European trophies available. Three finals, three victories, eight goals.
"When you repeat a lie over and over again, intelligent people will know that it's still a lie. But for people who aren't so intelligent, that lie becomes the truth.
"Luckily in football, there are more intelligent people than people who aren't intelligent.
"I've trained Porto, Chelsea, Inter and luckily people in charge of those clubs were intelligent, so I haven't had any problems."
Perez looks absolutely thrilled by this signing
So... Goddamn sexy...
