Jose to do what he does best – talk

Moscow – Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is to get his own show on Russian state television channel RT, the station said yesterday.

The fortnightly programme

titled On the Touchline with Jose Mourinho will provide coverage of the Uefa Champions League from March 7 with the 56-year-old Portuguese analysing the matches.

“I’m going to talk about football on RT. What else did you think I was going to do?,” Mourinho says in a promotional video filmed at an ice hockey rink posted on Twitter by RT Sports.

The former Porto, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager, who was unceremoniously sacked by Manchester United in December, worked as a pundit for RT at last year’s World Cup.

The station broadcasts news in English, Arabic and Spanish. – Reuters
