Mourinho had them rolling the aisles and cheering wildly in his first press conference.He spoke for the most part in Italian – which he claimed to have learned in a few weeks.
Excerpts :
When a reporter from La Repubblica wanted to know how he could speak Italian so well. …
“Never one for false modesty, Mourinho replied “because I’m very intelligent”, bringing the first laugh of the morning.”

“Then followed the morning’s longest pause, as Mourinho carefully pondered his reply. Eventually he delivered a classic piece of Milanese slang. “Non sono un pirla” – “I’m not a dickhead”. The room exploded in laughter and brought Mourinho his first round of applause on Italian soil. ”
