Wolves manager Nuno says what he learned from Mourinho

Ahead of his side hosting Burnely in the Premier League on Sunday Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has told Sky Sport's 'Soccer AM' about the influence Jose Mourinho has had on his career.

The former Porto goalkeeper played under Mourinho at the Portugese club, where they won the Champions League together in the memorable 2002/03 season.

Asked what he learned Nuno said: "A lot. In that moment, what we had, the group of players we had, the way Mourinho manages and made us believe that it was possible to do what we did as a squad. We won everything, and it was absolutely fantastic.''

"You take from everyone. When you have such success it's because you do things right. Of course you learn a lot as a player when you pay attention to managers when they speak to you."

Asked about his own coaching methods Nuno said: "I try to distract with other things, but in my mind it is always the game, especially the team, the shape, my players, what can I do, what is tomorrow, what can I give to them to improve them.''

"Thinking? Yes. Speaking? No. It is always on your mind. Not only me, but all of the coaching staff. Everybody has to be 100 per cent onto it."

Having only lost once in their first four games, along  the way securing a draw against Manchester City, the midlands club have impressed, Nuno acknowledged this but did not want to get carried away.

"I think we are getting better, each game we achieve to improve," he added. 

"That tells me it is good. I think we still have to manage the games better. Results help; we had it in the last game. But it's about growing, building and believing."
