The ‘Special One’, Jose Mourinho, has declared his desire and support for the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, to win the Nations’ Cup tonight.
Eagles tackle host Ivory Coast in the final
of the 34th edition of AFCON at the Olympic Stadium in Ebimpe, Abidjan, on Sunday.
Mourinho spoke in a chat with FIVE UK. He said he is throwing his weight behind the Eagles because of his friend Jose Peseiro.
According to him, “My best friend in football is in the final. The Nigerian coach is my best friend; he grew up with me,” Mourinho said.
“We studied together. We went to the university at the same time. We spent five years together, every day. We left at the same time. He is probably my biggest friend in football. Jose, my big friend. It will be a huge opportunity for him to make history. Never has a Portuguese coach won the AFCON.”
