Why I turned down Man United job in 2013 – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho, the Real Madrid coach, revealed in a Netflix documentary series that he initially accepted the Manchester United manager position offered by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. However, he changed his mind and returned to Chelsea. Mourinho explained that he couldn't break his word to Chelsea, where he had won two Premier League titles previously.

He felt that his loyalty to the club was more important than his desire to work with Ferguson. Despite being flattered by the offer, Mourinho ultimately decided to follow his heart and return to Chelsea. This decision ultimately led to Mourinho winning his third Premier League title with Chelsea and eventually taking charge of Manchester United in 2016.
