Mourinho reveals three top players he was unable to sign during his career.

Jose Mourinho, a renowned football manager, has shared some insights about his career and the players he has coached. Despite having a long list of top players under his guidance at various clubs, there are some names that he wishes he could have added to his impressive coaching CV.

One of these players is Lionel Messi, a legendary footballer who has spent his entire career at Barcelona. Mourinho admits that he never had the opportunity to train Messi, but he also acknowledges that no one can truly coach him as he was born with natural talent and already knows everything about the game. The closest Mourinho could have come to coaching Messi would have been to have him in his squad, which he considers to be an honor in itself.

Although Mourinho has faced Messi multiple times as a manager, he also reveals that he tried to sign him during his time at Inter Milan and Real Madrid. However, it was not possible to bring him to either club. Similarly, Mourinho also expressed his desire to have Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi, two club legends from Roma, in his teams. Unfortunately, these deals also did not materialize.

Reflecting on his time at Roma, where he recently left his role as manager, Mourinho shares that winning the Conference League with the team was one of his favorite moments. He acknowledges that while it may not have been the most important trophy he has won, the joy and satisfaction it brought were unparalleled.

Despite having both good and bad memories throughout his career, Mourinho finds it impossible to pick just one or two as his favorites. He believes that many great moments have contributed to his success as a manager. However, he does mention that his recent Conference League win with Roma stands out as a memorable moment.

On a different note, there have been reports of Mourinho deliberately getting sacked from his previous role at Manchester United. However, he denies these claims and shares that he would never plan to get sacked from a job. Additionally, after his dismissal from Roma, Mourinho returned a gift and left a brutal message for the players, which has created quite a stir in the football world.
