In just a few years, Jos Mourinho has proved himself to be one of the most successful and controversial of football managers. He arrived in London in the summer of 2004, to take on the role of the manager at Russian billionaire Roman Abramovichs Chelsea FC. His impact on English football was immediate, with his unmistakeable selfconfidence, style, drive and ambition. Now he has moved on to Inter Milan where, once again, he has become the focus of media attention. But how did his career start? What led him to becoming one of the great enigmas of World Football? This fascinating book charts his rise from relatively humble beginnings as assistant coach to Sir Bobby Robson, to become the most soughtafter club manager in Europe.Readers will gain an insight into Mourinhos management skills, as well as his whole footballing philosophy, and his approach to motivating his players. Mourinho himself writes of his move to Roman Abramovichs Chelsea FC and of approaches by other clubs; his mind games with Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United are knocked out of Europe; and his fears for his personal safety and that of his family after receiving a death threat on the eve of what should have been the biggest night of his life.Longterm family friend, Portuguese journalist Lus Loureno guides us through the formative years in Mourinhos coaching career, as he returns to Portugal from Barcelona at the turn of the millennium and embarks on the remarkable fouryear journey which will lead him to Chelsea FC. A journey which includes shortlived yet turbulent spells at Portuguese giants Benfica and minnows Unio de Leiria, and culminates in a night of unforgettable glory for FC Porto and Jos Mourinho as they are crowned Champions of Europe.
