Jose Mourinho named UK ambassador for Jaguar - and gets a brand new F Type Footy legend Jose Mourinhos has blagged the UKs first Jaguar F-Type Coupe after approaching the company to get involved with them. Chelsea boss Mourinho, famous for his mind games, was asked about his sides chances of winning the Premier League this season. He responded by saying Man City were the favourites and referred to them as a Jaguar, before adding: You cannot put an L plate behind a Jaguar. Some likened his bizarre comments to those of Eric Cantona, who was well known for his abstract interviews. But today it emerged The Special One had been named as the UKs latest ambassador for Jaguar. He will now get his hands on the first UK-registered F-Type Coupe, taking delivery of an £85,000 top-of-the-range R model next month. Jaguar wouldnt confirm if Mourinho would be getting the car for free, but said it was the Chelsea boss who approached them about becoming involved in the firm. His new sports car will be capable of 0-62mph in just four seconds and a top speed of 186mph. Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK managing director, said: With the F-Type Coupe, our designers and engineers have created the ultimate expression of Jaguar DNA; beautiful design combined with immense dynamic performance. I am sure all our customers will be as excited as our new ambassador Jose Mourinho at the prospect of driving the new F-Type Coupe. (Daily Star)
