What if José Mourinho had become Barcelona manager in 2008?

If Blackburn Signed Zidane

Available for over a year

Specs Gonzalez is joined by special guests Tego and Jordy to explore the parallel universe in which José Mourinho got the Barcelona job in 2008. What would have happened to Pep Guardiola? Imagine he’d stayed in charge of Barcelona B, facing off against José and the first team in a ‘philosophy match’. The loser has to go and manage Real Zaragoza. It could have happened. Anything is possible in Specs’ mind and the multiverse, where If Blackburn Signed Zidane dissects football’s greatest ‘what if’ moments to put things right on the timeline. Host: Specs Gonzalez Co-host: Tego Sigel Produced by: Conor Hewitt, Matthew Stanger A Folding Pocket production for BBC Sounds
