That is according to Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal.
The Manchester United boss has once again been caught up in controversy after his side’s Champions League exit.
After Sevilla knocked the Red Devils out in the last 16, Mourinho launched a stunning rant to the press, defending his career achievements.
The former Chelsea boss has also publicly criticised his players in recent weeks, leading to the likes of Luke Shaw and Paul Pogba sweating over their Old Trafford futures.
But Swans chief Carvalhal believes his managerial counterpart is at his best when he is at odds with members of his team.
“I studied him. I spent a week at Manchester United when Alex Ferguson was there, then a week watching Mourinho at Chelsea,” he told the Daily Mirror.
“I also went to Real Madrid.
“I tried to learn with the best. He has a big self-confidence, like I do. You need that.
“But he is a completely different personality to me.
“He likes confrontation. He likes to fight with people. And he’s very good when he is fighting.
“I am completely different. I like to keep far away from the fight.
“I like to win, but, if someone tries to fight with me, they will find they are fighting with themselves.”
Swansea have thrived under Carvalhal since his arrival at the club.
