Jose Mourinho reveals details of his new Netflix series, explains why everyone will think he's a 'total idiot'

Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho opened up about his upcoming Netflix series.

The past three seasons have seen Mourinho bring his fiery touch-line behaviour and press conference antics to Serie A with Roma.

And after his side’s 2-1 victory over Cremonese, courtesy of late goals from Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala, Mourinho revealed that he is set to be the subject of a Netflix show.

He stated courtesy of Get Football News: “I’ll give you some news, a documentary about me starts on Netflix, it’s a documentary about my career and it starts on Thursday.

“There are things that will only be known there, they pay me well.

“I hadn’t signed with Roma yet, but I had given my word. A club came along and wanted me to break my agreement with Roma, which hadn’t yet been signed, and I said no.”

He continued: “When the documentary comes out everyone will say I’m a total idiot.

“When Portugal arrived I immediately told the president about it. When Saudi Arabia arrived I immediately told the president about it.

“This is why I don’t think they talk to other coaches behind my back, for me it’s not like that because there is reciprocity.”

Mourinho has never been one to shy away from the cameras.

The Portuguese boss was also a protagonist in Tottenham’s All or Nothing documentary, which chronicled the club’s ill-fated 2019/2020 season.

That year Mourinho joined the north Londoners mid-season after Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking.

The documentary chronicled Mourinho’s ultimately unsuccessful attempts to guide Tottenham to the Champions League places, in a season interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mourinho’s future in Italy is uncertain. The former Chelsea boss has already stated that he wants to stay at Roma and extend his contract at the club.

However, Roma appear to be taking their time on the renewal with his current deal expiring in the summer of 2024.
