The modern era of football has never seen a more polarizing manager than Jose Mourinho. He has led several top-rated sides in Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan, AC Roma, and more. Famous for being one of the most outspoken people in the community, the 58-year-old has once said something controversial regarding eSports’ biggest Battle Royale title, Fortnite.

He called the title a true nightmare for him, as it keeps his players distract throughout the training session. Soccer players grind out the game through the night and show up to games. It has become a major cause for concern and Jose isn’t sure how should he deal with this issue.

“A nightmare, football players they stay up all night playing that s**t, and then the next day they have a game.”
