Aside from a Spanish Super Cup victory over Barcelona, Madrid's 2012-13 season ended with zero titles after Madrid's 2-1 extra defeat to Atlético in the final of the Copa del Rey. 'The Special One' did not mince words following the match in his press conference with reporters.
"This is the worst season of my career", said Mourinho. "With a final, semifinal, a second place and a Super Cup, for me it is the worst".
When asked if he had failed this season, the Portuguese boss gave a frank description of what failure means to him.
"I have failed this season because in the first season we win the Copa, we get to the semifinals of the Champions League and fight for a league", explained Mourinho. "In the second season it is a failure to win a league, make another Champions League semifinal lost in penalties. The third season, with these results, it is a failed season. When things go well, it's because of everyone. When things go bad, it is the manager's fault. For me it’s the worst season. I have never gone without winning a major trophy because the Super Cup is very little".
The former Chelsea manager, who has been rumored to return to Stamford Bridge, also spoke about his managerial future.
"I have a contract for three more years. I have not sat down with the president to talk about my future. I think it’s normal that people are speaking of Ancelotti if I go to Chelsea. When the season ends I will sit down with the president so that the fans know what is going to happen", concluded Mourinho.
There are still three matches remaining in the La Liga season but for all intents and purposes for Jose Mourinho, the campaign is over and it has ended in failure.
