Coach Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has warned his team’s supporters who are hoping he will help end its two-season title drought that they shouldn’t expect any miracles, saying “I’m a coach—I’m not Harry Potter.”

Madrid opened its Spanish league campaign last weekend with a scoreless draw at Mallorca as title favorite and fierce rival Barcelona started with a 3-0 win at Racing Santander.

“At FC Porto and Inter Milan, I also started with a draw. At Porto, I went on to win four titles. And at Inter, I won two in the first season and three in the second. It’s not how you start—it’s how you finish,” Mourinho said in Wednesday’s edition of newspaper AS. “The first games are always very strange.”

“I’m a coach—I’m not Harry Potter. He’s a magician, but in reality magic doesn’t exist. Magic is fictitious and I live in football, which is real,” said Mourinho, who once described himself as The Special One while at Chelsea.
