Jose Mourinho has said he does not believe that a final verdict and punishment against Manchester City will be handed in his lifetime.
José Mourinho managed Manchester United during part of the period that Manchester City were deemed to have committed financial crimes.
In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the current Real Madrid coach is skeptical that City’s verdict and punishment will be handed down during his lifetime.
“Manchester City? I can laugh about it,” he said
“I suspect there will be a verdict. But I’m in my sixties now, so I’ll have to be lucky to still be around when that verdict comes. First, there’ll be a verdict, then an appeal… By then I’ll be eighty.”
Mourinho himself has learned to be at the center of scandals and how to handle them.
“It’s the bad luck associated with the time I joined certain clubs. Here, at Real, I experienced the Negreira affair. Later there was a big scandal in Turkey. I’ve been in these types of situations,” he said.
