Coaching Regrets: Mourinho Names Star He Missed Out On

The Fenerbahce coach, Jose Mourinho, recently discussed the one player he always wanted to manage.

During a rapid question session on TNT Sports, Mourinho confessed his desire to have Lionel Messi on his team.

He humorously referred to Messi as “the little guy” and expressed that, despite being unmanageable, Messi stood out as the premier player of their time.

Mourinho remarked, “If there’s one player I regret not signing, it would be the ‘little guy’ [Messi] from my era. He might have been unmanageable, but undoubtedly, he was the finest of our generation.”
