""He is someone I hugely admire, having come up against him before in the Premier League," Howe said. "As a younger coach, I really admired the teams he built at Chelsea, in particular. "He is definitely a visionary - someone that broke the mould in terms of how you manage in different ways to do things, and then following his success through different clubs, leagues.""
""I have heard Jose's words about Newcastle and I absolutely echo them myself," Howe said. "They are great words about Sir Bobby and the role he played in his career. That's really nice to hear, but the line stops tomorrow. "When the game kicks off, we want to win. We are desperate for the points. It will be a competitive game between two great clubs.""
Jose Mourinho is described as a visionary who broke the mould in managerial approaches and achieved success across clubs and leagues. His Chelsea teams earned particular admiration for their construction and impact. Mourinho shadowed Sir Bobby Robson as an interpreter and assistant at Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Barcelona in the 1990s and retains a lasting bond with Newcastle, describing himself as "a little Magpie." Benfica will face Newcastle in a Champions League group game at St James' Park, with Newcastle seeking points after a 2-1 Premier League defeat and monitoring midfielder Sandro Tonali for illness.
