Jose Mourinho, who is on an enforced break from the world of football management, is making the most of his time off thanks to Jaguar, and the new F-Pace.

Mourinho puts the all-new performance SUV Jag through its Paces in sub zero conditions on the icy planes of Arjeplog, Sweden. And it looks like a lot of fun!


 

Mourinho said: “The experience was magnificent. For people in my world, I think a few days in a place like this is magnificent.

With temperatures as low as -30°, The Special One's driving skills were seriously put to the test in the all-new Jaguar F-PACE by Finnish professional driver, Tommi Karrinaho.

Mourinho, whose thoughts are never too far away from the football field, said: “I am always learning. Even in football, which is an area that obviously I feel that I’m an expert, I’m never perfect and I always learn.

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.”

There's widespread speculation about Mourinho's future, and in the isolation of Jaguar’s extreme testing facility in Sweden, one of the most decorated managers in the game was philosophical about his next move.

“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.”

Mr Mourinho, who can be seen driving around London in his Jaguar F-TYPE Coupé and has already placed an order for the new F-PACE, insists he will be staying in England for the foreseeable future.

This is a moment when my family needed some stability and my wife and I made the decision to stay in London. It's an amazing place to live, an amazing place for them (my children) to study. I don't know where football will take me because in football you never know, but for sure as a family our home will still be in London.”
