Heineken, the official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, is set to launch the new season of the tournament with a video featuring controversial Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho...
Billed as Mourinho’s address to football
fans across the world, the video will go online before the kick-off of
the 2016/2017 UCL season on Tuesday, 13 September, 2016.
This follows news making the rounds that
the former Porto coach intends to “invade” the Champions League, even
while his current team, Manchester United misses out of the competition
after finishing fifth behind Manchester City, their closest rival last
season.
Coming off a recent match against his
biggest rival, Pep Guardiola, the Manchester United trainer is said to
be in a combative mood as his team competes for honours in the Europa
League, a tournament widely regarded as ‘second-tier’ when compared to
UEFA’s biggest club competition.
Mourinho’s peers, Unai Emery, Arsene
Wenger, Claudio Ranieri and Guardiola are all primed to take a shot at
lifting the UCL trophy.
