Jose Mourinho goes ice driving in a Jaguar F-Pace

Now that Jose Mourinho has a lot more free time, the football coach can indulge in other activities. For instance, taking the all-new Jaguar F-Pace for a spot of ice driving on a 60 km frozen lake at Arjeplog, Sweden (64 km from the Arctic Circle). Which is exactly what happens in this video.

Here, the Chosen/Special One becomes the Frozen One as he drives a Jaguar F-Pace S in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius. The extreme driver training experience is headed by Finnish professional driver, Tommi Karrinaho, who expertly guides Mourinho on the ins and outs of managing the vehicle on icy terrain.

With a 3.0 litre supercharged V6 engine developing 380 PS and 450 Nm of torque, keeping the SUV under control is a whole different challenge for Mourinho, who describes it as a different world that he must adapt to. “Football is different world because football is the kind of world where everybody thinks they know more than the manager,” said the Portuguese.

Thankfully, the car’s all-wheel drive system and Karrinaho’s lessons do the trick. Mourinho also commends the car’s incredible response and stability, not to mention the handsome looks as well. “The flying lap with Tommi sent my adrenaline soaring. It’s something I’ve only ever experienced before when I have walked out in front of 80,000 football fans,” he said.

It impresses him so much that by the end of the video, we can vaguely see the man in the background on the phone, probably ordering one, possibly in Dark Sapphire Blue? On his career, the Chosen One isn’t fazed, saying, “I have worked for as long as I can remember as a manager and this is now the second time I have stopped in 16 years. So it’s not a drama, but for sure I will be back soon.”

    the special ones so special he got sacked. Almost every team he manages there will be a revolt of players against him. So special indeed.
