Former Chelsea defender Alex says he had the wrong idea of Jose Mourinho before he met the Portuguese coach, saying he is not as arrogant as expected.
The Brazilian centre-back joined Chelsea from PSV in 2004, a month after Mourinho was hired for his first of two spells at Stamford Bridge, but work permit problems saw him loaned to PSV for the majority of the coach's time in charge.
Mourinho went on to become the most successful coach in the club's history, but the Portuguese's reputation has plummeted in recent years. Disappointing performances and results as well as breakdowns in relationships with players plagued his second spell at the Blues as well as spells at Real Madrid and Manchester United.
