Here is one of his opinions already on Englands chances in World Cup .
"Mourinho, who knows better than most the culture of English football at the elite level, says he does not understand why Roy Hodgson’s side have been written off so quickly in some quarters.“
England, everybody says ‘no, no, no, no, no’,” said Mourinho in an event to launch his deal with Yahoo. “I always say, ‘why not?’ Because I don’t understand why not. When I see the players and the experience of the players and the clubs where they play, I don’t understand why one day it cannot happen.”
Asked whether, given the talent available to them, England underachieve at major tournaments, Mourinho replied: “I think so because [The Premier League] is the best championship in the world; it is the most competitive one. “I know that many foreign players are in the top clubs but at the same time the national team players, all of them, they play in the top clubs in the Premier League – players from Chelsea, from Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal, a few from Everton also – all of them.
“They know what the big stage is; they know how to play under pressure; they know how to play for the big clubs; they play in the Champions League which is probably the most difficult football in the world, so I don’t see why they don’t. I don’t see why. So one day they have to do.”However, Mourinho did exercise a note of caution when analysing England’s prospects in what is a very difficult opening group.“I know it is [a tough group], but I don’t think Uruguay and Italy will find it easy to play against England,” he said. “I think it is the kind of group where everybody is waiting for the first match, and the first defeat will put immediately one team in a very difficult situation. “Probably it’s a group with some draws and when you have some draws in this kind of three-match competition, if you get a couple of draws everything is very complicated. “One of them will be out and one of them will be considered like a big favourite, but the reality is that the group is difficult so one of them must be out.” "

In an official launch event with broadcaster Mark Pougatch, Mourinho explained why he chose to sign with Yahoo.“I decided because it is very prestigious and I want to connect myself at every area with prestige; so I was looking for prestige,” he said.“At the same time if I want to communicate with people - and that is the objective, to share some of my ideas about football and especially about the World Cup - I want to share with many, many millions.
I don’t want to share with a few thousand that buy a normal newspaper or a couple of million who follow a certain TV channel. I share with many millions or I don’t share, so let’s share with many millions. “For sure some will disagree, for sure some will say how can this guy be a top manager, but for sure some will agree with me and for sure I think we can have some fun.”
