"The special person" has arrived at a special place.
Jose Mourinho, whom Real Madrid's CEO Jorge Valdano called "the most respected coach in the world," has officially arrived at the Bernabeu. Last night, the press conference announcing the partnership between the two most famous names in football was simple, but it still revealed the enormous ambitions of both sides.

Humility was also evident when Mourinho asked the Spanish press for time to improve his Spanish. This was a stark contrast to the arrogance he displayed towards the Italian media, which led to a long period of boycotting. But as usual, Mourinho revealed very little about his upcoming plans at the Bernabeu. “I will need about three or four new signings, but there won’t be many personnel changes at Real soon,” and “team spirit will be the hallmark of my presence here,” Mourinho said.
Nevertheless, like all other aspects of Jose Mourinho's personality, even his humility is tinged with arrogance. "I don't know if I was born to be the Real Madrid coach. But I was born to be a football coach," a statement that asserts that, despite the unique characteristics of the Spanish giants, he will handle the job there as smoothly as he did at Chelsea or Inter Milan.

In fact, Jose Mourinho's undisguised ambitions were already evident before he even entered the press conference room at the Bernabeu. From the moment his agent, Jorge Mendes, held his first meeting with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to discuss a contract, Mourinho began talking about his ambitions. "I will win a Grand Slam, win titles in England, Italy, and Spain," or "I am capable of leading Real Madrid to the Champions League final," were the messages the "Special One" truly wanted to convey to the press.
The most anticipated press conference in Spain in May 2010 ultimately didn't amount to anything particularly special. But that was just the beginning. Nothing at Real Madrid is allowed to be anything but extraordinary. Because what Jose Mourinho creates is never without its unusual aspects!
