Mourinho Jokes He Might Be 80 Before Man City Case Ends

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho made a joke about Manchester City's financial case taking a long time. He said he might be 80 years old before it gets a final decision.

Mourinho talked to Corriere dello Sport on Thursday. He said he prefers to see the long process with humor. An independent commission found City guilty of breaking serious Premier League financial rules.

"I’d rather have a bit of a laugh about it. Being in my 60s, I’ll have to be lucky enough still to be here when the final verdict arrives. Now a ruling will come, then an appeal… I’ll be 80!" he said.

Manchester City has already filed an appeal against the findings. The case covers a time from 2009 to 2018.
