Waxing lyrical about his time at the coaching courses at Largs -
Mourinho spent time in Scotland during his formative years as a coach as he gained his B Licence and has warm memories of his time on the Ayrshire coast in particular.
"The Largs pubs... a disaster. I was only drinking sparkling water," he said.
"But it was fantastic. From a learning point of view and a human point of view. They were the biggest guys in Scottish football at that time. It was very good on coaching - sometimes badges are just badges, but this was different.
"It was amazing for me. I went there with my university degree - I was still playing, at a low level, but still playing. That coaching course and the methodology level was different. After that so many times when I am asked by young coaches, `where would be a good first step?` I say they should go there."
He said he would consider managing at Celtic or Rangers if the opportunity arose.
"People can say the Scottish league is a league of two teams, but it is a league of passion. Passion in football is everything. To play in empty stadiums and competitions where there is not that fire of the passion does not make any sense.``

I remember going there for a weekends coaching when I was in the Boy`s Brigade. The Scottish coach, John Anderson, who later appeared in the TV programme Gladiators, tried to coach me in tennis. Waste of his time but I was not too bad at the table version.

Talking of BB; one of the funniest sending offs I have seen was in a BB game. Large defender fouls the opposition forward and exclaims βoh Jesus Christβ when shown the yellow card, promptly followed by a red for blasphemy.

Supposedly Spurs sent a scout to watch a youngster at Fenerbahce and Jose deliberately left him on the bench for the 90 mins after getting wind of it π
Also dont see anything coming of the claims from Galatasaray about racism either.

After being at a sportsman`s dinner some years ago with Craig Brown and Dick Campbell starring, there were many stories about Largs, mostly not involving any coaching!

Do love a bit of Jose. Doesn`t play by the rules and outside of his insane passion for the game, I can imagine he`d be great to grab a pint with
