Hennessy Flick: "My respect for Mourinho is enormous. Mourinho has shown his ability in every club he has coached." "I remember meeting him once in Madrid, when I was an assistant to Joachim Lowes in Germany." "We went to visit him because some of our players were there. What I can say is that all the players who worked under him spoke of him with great respect, and I share the same opinion." "This is a colleague who has had tremendous success and a great coach whom I respect very much." —. Fabrizio Romano October 25, 2026.
