José Mourinho exclusive interview

During the preparation of the course, José Mourinho has given an exclusive interview to XTB discussing his approach to making decisions, tackling pressure and coping with challenges.

You have recently decided to return to Italy after 11 years and become AS Roma manager. Making decisions is part of the everyday life of an investor. What is your top preparation tactic for making a big decision?

José Mourinho: When making big decisions, I make sure I have all the information I need to hand. This is the top ‘tactic’ because it is impossible to make any decisions without knowing all the details and taking time to understand them.

High-pressure is an immanent part of the job of both investor and football manager, but when such a situation suddenly appears without warning, what piece of advice can you offer to someone to help them cope?

It comes down to preparation. It’s important to always be prepared for all eventualities, because, in this way, you can adapt to pressure moments by relying on your preparation and your repetition.

Keeping nerves in check is one of the biggest challenges for every investor. How do you handle your emotions during a high-pressured situation?

Once the whistle goes, I am only focused on the match and the moment. I don’t think about me or my emotions; I think about what is in front of me and what we need to do to adapt to what is happening.

Both in investing, football and everyday life not everything always goes as we want. What top tips can you offer to someone who is dealing with a situation that didn’t go as planned?

I think it is all about preparation; when you prepare for all eventualities, it allows you to adapt quicker and also eliminates the surprise element. When I was at Porto, I told the team I expected to draw United, the hardest team in the draw – we then drew United, but we were prepared so it was as we expected, and we weren’t worried about the challenge ahead.

At XTB we believe that education and learning from others is one of the keys for successful investing. How important is it to surround yourself with the right people?

It is incredibly important to surround yourself with the right people, and I rely on my team a lot. The squads these days are so big, and there are so many tasks for a manager that you need to know you can maintain quality levels even when you aren’t there. You also need to be challenged and supported when it comes to key decisions for the team.
