Mourinho explains why he chooses to live in hotels when he joins a new club

Recently, images emerged showing the luxurious Istanbul hotel where 61-year-old Portuguese manager José Mourinho is staying. The head coach of Turkey's Fenerbahçe resides at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Mourinho explained why he always opts for hotel living when joining a new club rather than renting a house:

"I would be unhappy living alone in a house. I’d have to clean, and I don’t want to do that."

"I’d have to iron, and I don’t know how to do that. I’d have to cook. I’d be frying eggs and sausages, because that’s the only thing I know how to cook."

"I live in amazing apartments. It’s not just a room. It’s mine all the time. It’s not like I have to leave after a week. I leave everything there: the TV, books, computer. These are apartments where I can say, 'Bring me a latte, please,' or 'I don’t want to come down for dinner, bring it to me upstairs.'

"If I’m watching football or working with one of my assistants, I ask: ‘Bring us some food.’ I have everything. If I were in an apartment alone, it would be much harder.”

On October 24th, Mourinho and Fenerbahçe will face Manchester United in the third round of the Europa League.
