In a video tribute to the FA as part of the latter's 150th anniversary celebrations, Mou admitted that "there couldn't be a better place to go" than England. "My memories in English football couldn't be better", he continued: "I loved it from the first day to the last day. I don't regret my last day because after that I was lucky enough to enjoy Italy and also Spain. But I know that one day I will come back because English football means a lot to myself".
Mourinho believes that English football is "pure football; the football you play as a kid in the street, transported in time and space into organised competitions and into the real world of football. In England you feel the real passion for the game; it's not just about passion for clubs, it's about passion for football and you feel it. When you are in England, you feel proud to be in football".
The Portuguese coach also reflected fondly on the FA Cup, the last trophy he lifted with Chelsea: "I know what I felt when I had to go up the Wembley stairs. For me, the FA Cup represents the passion of football. It represents clean football. It represents the good smell of football", he concluded.
