The retrospective photo exhibition is held only less than two months after Mourihno's 50th brithday anniversary. Some 70 photoes depicting the world famous soccer coach's life since his early childhood as well as the trophies, medals he won and his personal items are on display.

At a press conference marking the occasion, Mourihno told reporters that it would not be a "drama" if Real Madrid loses in the current European Champions League, as he has won two trophies for the event. "There are quite a few coaches who never won a single trophy even in his entire lifetime," he added.

The 50-year-old coach did not make it clear what his next destination is after his contract with Real Madrid expires but said he hoped he would like to return to Portugal sometime to lead the national soccer team. "Nobody will know what will happen in the future," he added.

The coach also complained about rigging by FIFA at Ballon d'Or award, saying this is right the reason that he did not attend the awarding ceremoy instead that he had known he would not win the prize.

The exhibiton, organized by Setubal City Hall, will be open to the public on Sunday and last two months.
