Mourinho reveals his biggest pet peeve in football

Jose Mourinho has revealed that waiting around for evening kick-offs is one of his biggest pet peeves in football.

The Portuguese was recently unveiled as Manchester United's new manager as he returns to a Premier League dug out eight months on from his sacking by Chelsea.

But it is not all smiles for Mourinho who, speaking at an adidas event, says an early kick-off is his preference when looking at the fixture list as he can enjoy a "rich breakfast" before game time.

"If you ask me, the one I really love is the early kick-off," he told reporters.

"I love that. I love to, early in the morning, go for a rich breakfast – then go to the bus, go to the game, play the game, win if possible, go home and game over – I like it.

"I don't like to wait for matches. In my time in Spain, I sometimes had late matches, because of the weather obviously. ‘I hate these. I hate to wait a long day for a match.

"But, when the game starts, the game starts. And you know that for these 90 minutes, you have to enjoy and do your best."
