Jose Mourinho expressed that he isn't looking to fight relegation, as he considers it more difficult than contending for titles, emphasizing his career phase for happiness.
If you are going to coach one of the big clubs in Istanbul, you have to lead from the front because of the unique pressures in a one-off city.
"Hard to answer", Mourinho told Corriere dello Sport when asked what the perfect match he's managed in is. "Porto vs Lazio, 4-1, 2002/03 UEFA Cup semi-final. They scored after 50 seconds and didn't touch the ball after that."
