The self proclaimed “Special One”, Jose Mourinho, has been unveiled as Yahoo’s 2014 Global Sports Ambassador.
Mourinho – a Champions League winner with both Porto and Inter, and two-time Premier League champion with Chelsea – is one of the most successful and respected managers in the history of football. He currently manages Chelsea FC in England.
In his introductory Tumblr post, Mourinho writes:
Today, I’m delighted to announce that I have signed with Yahoo as their Global Football Ambassador for 2014. I’m very excited that I will also be working as an exclusive analyst for Yahoo’s worldwide football coverage including the FIFA World Cup 2014.
The reason I have chosen to partner with Yahoo is simple. I want to connect with millions of football fans around the globe, and teaming up with Yahoo as well as Tumblr lets me reach a huge audience from Brazil to the US to the UK – whether they are in front of their computers or on their smartphones or tablets. I only associate with the best, and this is both an exciting and prestigious opportunity.
So what can you expect to see from me over the next year? I plan to bring my unique commentary and passionate point-of-view, some new insight into my own daily world through photos and video — and have a lot of fun at the same time! Football is a way of life for millions of fans across Yahoo and they’re always looking for something different. I want my editorial coverage and analysis to bring a new edge to football news and debates.
