Mourinho was selected by 34 per cent of respondents as the most motivational manager in Premier League history.

Sergio Peniche, from Mars Wrigley, said: “You can find inspiration anywhere - in a book, a piece of music - or a celebrity’s Instagram account.

“We are delighted to launch the AI powered version of José Mourinho, enabling fans to receive insights directly from 'The Special One' himself.

"In a time when inspiration and positive reinforcement are vital, we hope to inspire individuals to live their best lives with a dose of Mourinho’s iconic wisdom.”

The study also revealed that one in ten adults believe these quotes provide a boost when their football team is underperforming.

Mourinho’s most popular quote is “The most important part of everything is to be happy.”

This is closely followed by his advice “You have to work hard AND well. Many people work hard but not effectively.”

However, 12 per cent of people favoured his famous introduction to English football, where he called himself “The Special One.”

Sergio Peniche added: “Jose holds a special place in the hearts of not only football fans, but Brits in general.

“His unusual take on life, which generally led him to success everywhere he managed, is something many could aspire to.”
