Jose
Mourinho has described his living arrangements in Manchester as a
“disaster” as his wife and children remain in London while he stays in
the Lowry Hotel.
The Portuguese was appointed as United
manager at the end of last season to replace Louis van Gaal, and the
former Chelsea boss is having to adjust to being apart from his family.
He does not envisage his family joining
him in Manchester in the near future and he also has a regular paparazzi
presence for company at the hotel.
Mourinho told Sky Sports: “The
reality is that my daughter will be 20 next week. My son will be 17 in a
couple of months. They are very stable… university in London, football
in London, friends.
“So, they are at an age where they can’t
chase me like they did before. So, for the first time, the family lives
in a different way. We try to feel it, we try to see the evolution of
our feelings and see how we cope with the situation.
“But maybe, if I can get a good
apartment… not these giant houses that the press says I’m going to buy. I
will never buy that! But if I find a nice apartment with a good
connection from the garage to the apartment, maybe I do it – but I can’t
cook!”
He added: “You know the history of the paparazzi. For the hotel and the brand that sponsors me, the clothes brand, it’s amazing because they are there every day.
“Everybody knows the name of the hotel. Everybody knows the last arrivals of that brand. So, for them, it is amazing.
“For me, it’s a bit of a disaster
because I want sometimes to walk a little bit and I can’t. I just want
to cross the bridge and go to a restaurant. I can’t, so it is really
bad. But I have my apps and I can ask for food to also be delivered,
which I do sometimes.”
