Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes that there are similarities between himself and Nottingham Forest legend Brian Clough.

Writing the foreword for the book on Brian Clough, I Believe in Miracles, Mourinho says he sees similarities to himself in the way Clough used to conduct himself at press conferences and interviews.

Mourinho also reveals that he visited Nottingham during Euro ’96 whilst working at Barcelona to see the place where Clough enjoyed his success.

Clough won consecutive European Cups with Nottingham Forest in 1979 and 1980.

Jose Mourinho won the Champion’s League with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010 and is looking to become the first ever manager to win the Champion’s League with three different teams.

Chelsea currently lie 16th in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest 18th in the Championship.
