Napoli star doesn't forget Mourinho: "If he calls me I'll think about it..."

Record2 September 2026 at 11:04

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli's star, expressed longing for José Mourinho during an interview. The Georgian winger, who shone under the Portuguese coach at Napoli last season, stated that he hasn't forgotten his time at the Italian club.

The player revealed that Mourinho was fundamental to his development, describing him as "incredible" and highlighting the confidence the coach gave him. The relationship between the two generated great empathy during the season in which they won the Italian league title.

When asked about a possible return to working with Mourinho, Kvaratskhelia did not close any doors. The player stated that if the Portuguese coach called him, he would think about the possibility, demonstrating the strong connection he maintains with the former manager.

Scott McTominay, for his part, was one of the players who directly benefited from the opportunities granted by Mourinho during his time at Manchester United. The Scottish midfielder became an important piece in the starting eleven of the Red Devils during the period when the Portuguese managed the English club.
