Chelsea Training Session & Press Conference

Zeru tituli”

zero tituli mourinho

It was during one of his press conferences in his first season in Italy as he tried to deride his other Serie A counterparts. His attempt at Italian backfired as he incorrectly pronounced “zero titoli”, meaning zero titles as “zeru tituli”. Mourinho was referring to the fact that Carlo Ancelotti and Luciano Spalletti, the then managers of AC Milan and AS Roma, would end the season with no silverware while he had already won the Italian Super Cup and his Inter on course for another scudetto. This phrase became widely popular and was extensively used by the fans during the celebrations that followed Inter’s triumph of the Serie A in 2009.
