Mourinho

Product Information

The temperamental and tempestuous Mourinho drew huge encouragement as his name was chanted regularly by the majority inside Stamford Bridge. Mourinho felt it was undermining the dressing room and his ability to hold it together and the club’s board agreed; even though Abramovich actually doesn’t sit on the board he authorises all major decisions. I have followed Chelsea for years from the States, so my information has always been a bit distant, but my impression of him didn’t come close to what this book is portraying as fact. Regarded as many by the world’s best manager and one of the greatest of all time, he achieved huge success whilst at Benfica, Uniao de Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Internazionale and Real Madrid. Then there’s Chelsea’s Antonio Conte (three Serie A titles) slugging it out with Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp (a dual Bundesliga winner and Champions League finalist) and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (17 trophies).

Mourinho’s father - also José - was a goalkeeper, who made one appearance for Portugal before becoming a coach.

He knows that tough decisions are part of it, but he doesn’t shirk and will do what is necessary to succeed. That might be something to go against the grain, yet in his own career he has learned to respect the guy who deserves to win, and cites the example of Crystal Palace, who inflicted a painful league defeat on Chelsea at Selhurst Park in March: I wanted to kill my guys. The only thing I can say is that until my last day with this club - be it four years, 10 years, 15 years it doesn’t matter how long, I will give everything for them.

If anyone is going to catch and overtake Sir Alex in terms of trophy haul, it is going to be Mourinho. Mourinho on Football is both a stunningly designed celebration of Jose Mourinho's exceptional managerial career to date, and an informative narrative detailing his innovative soccer wisdom and inspiring philosophy. The significance of the tie was that Mourinho was watched by his family from just behind the dugout. He and his wife, Matilde, were teenage sweethearts, growing up a street away from each other in the coastal town of Setúbal, now married for 26 years with two teenage children, also named Matilde and José.C. Doxa Dramas (professional Greek team) and 3 different semi-professional teams in Greece (winning 2 championships). The book succeeds in encapsulating the hopes, dreams, disappointments and joys of so many different eras. But is the way he conducts himself on the touchline and in front of the cameras the real Mourinho, or an act he puts on for the watching world?

But, if there is more to management than trophies and success then I’d argue that Mourinho is in a league of his own. A subsequent brief but successful spell at União de Leiria earned a move to Porto, where he won the Portuguese Primeira Liga twice, the UEFA Cup and, in 2004, the Champions League. In this book he discusses his apprenticeship in the game and the differences in soccer culture and mentality in various countries. Mourinho is also the most divisive manager in football, Mick Brown suggested in an extremely intuitive piece on Mourinho in the Daily Telegraph, watching Mourinho is almost a spectator sport in itself he observed.

Beasley said: “I am delighted to have joined forces with Michael O’Mara Books for the publication of José Mourinho: Up Close and Personal.

The gripping biography of one of the most successful managers in the game, Jose Mourinho, giving rare insight into the man and the manager - now completely revised and updated to include the tumultuous 2020-21 season. It is hard to compare like-for-like when managers were in charge of vastly contrasting dressing rooms in different eras with different standards, just as Pelé and Maradona played on some churned up grassless pitches wearing heavyweight boots and using those hard leather balls, compared to the snooker table like surfaces and light weight everything the modern players can use to make him look better and faster, and much better protected by the officials with massive changes in the rules to protect the flair players. p>Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
