Jose Mourinho: 'I cried when Andy Murray won Wimbledon'

Andy Murray's triumph at Wimbledon in 2013 reduced Jose Mourinho to tears, the Chelsea boss reveals.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that watching Andy Murray win the Wimbledon men's title in 2013 reduced him to tears.

Mourinho is known to be a keen tennis fan, and has been pictured at the Aegon Championships at Queen's this week.

"I have to say I had a couple of tears for Andy when he won Wimbledon. It was something that obviously meant more than anything in his career. I could imagine it was something from another world," Mourinho told The Telegraph.

"I don't think he would change the Wimbledon victory for another 10 victories in other Grand Slams. It's more than the game, it's more than a tournament.

"He has broken the psychological wall that was there for every British person that loves the game. I think that for sure it was the best day in his career and I shared that happiness from where I was."

Murray, meanwhile, has expressed his own admiration for the Portuguese manager, calling him "a winner."
