"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho described his life in the new city as a small tragedy. He is currently staying at the "Lowry" hotel while his family remained in London.
Since the Portuguese was dismissed from the "Chelsea" club, he now has to get used to the peculiarities of Manchester.
"The reality is that my daughter will turn twenty next week. In a few months, my son will be seventeen. They live very stable lives... university in London, football in London, friends," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"They are at an age where they can no longer follow me as before. So, our family is living differently for the first time. We try to feel it, try to see evolution in our feelings and see how we can deal with the situation."
"However, maybe I will manage to get a good apartment... not one of those huge houses that, according to the press, I intend to buy. I will never buy that! Nevertheless, if I find a good apartment with a convenient garage, maybe I will do that - but I don't know how to cook!"
Although his family does not plan to join him in the near future, the strategist does not necessarily feel alone, as paparazzi constantly rotate around the hotel.
"You know the story with paparazzi. It's great for the hotel and the clothing brand that supports me, because they are here every day."
"Everyone knows the name of the hotel. Everyone also knows the latest products from that brand, so they think it's great."
"For me, it's a bit of a tragedy because sometimes I want to take a little walk, but I can't. I just want to walk across the bridge and go to a restaurant. I can't do that, so it's really bad."
"However, I have my apps and can also order food, which I sometimes do."
