Interview with José Mourinho 

During the course development, José Mourinho was interviewed by XTB, discussing his approach to making decisions, dealing with pressures and challenges.

1. After 11 years you decided to come back to Italy to become AS Roma's coach. Making decisions is also the everyday life of every investor. What are your factors when making important and difficult decisions?

When making important decisions, I make sure I have all the information I need. This is the best "tactic" because you cannot make any decisions without knowing all its aspects and taking the time to fully understand them.

2. Constant pressure is something that connects the world of investment and sport. What would you advise someone who suddenly finds themselves subjected to a demanding situation and its pressure?

It all comes down to preparation. It is important to always be prepared for any eventuality - thanks to this, everyone can adapt to a difficult situation and deal with the pressure based on their preparation and previous exercises.

3. Controlling emotions is a big challenge for investors. How do you deal with your emotions when you're under a lot of pressure?

When I hear the referee's whistle, my focus is only on the game and that particular moment. I don't think about myself or my emotions; I think about what is in front of me and what we have to do to adapt to what is happening.

4. On the pitch and in business, things don't always go as planned. What would you advise someone who is struggling with a situation that has not gone as planned?

The secret is in the preparation; when you prepare for any eventuality, you can quickly adapt to any new situation while eliminating the element of surprise. When I was the head coach of FC Porto, I told the team before the game that I expect a draw with Manchester United, the toughest team we've drawn - we tied with United but were prepared for it. It was exactly as expected and we weren't worried about the challenge.

5. At XTB, we believe that education and learning from the best is one of the best ways to be successful in investing. How important is it to surround yourself with the right people?

It's extremely important to surround myself with the right people and I rely a lot on my team. Today the line-ups are so large and the manager has so many tasks that you need to know that you and your team are able to maintain the highest level in each area, even if you cannot get involved in it personally. You also need challenges and support from your team as you make key decisions about it.
