Simply the Best. Point.

[Aleksander Foks]

You may not like the way of being Jose Mourinho, but you can't deny his success. Personally I like this specific mentality. This book shows more shades of Jose's personality. For me it is an inspiration and a something like volant in leadership area. Nobody accidentally builds such superb teams. Mourinho did it when he was the coach of Chelsea Londyn, Inter Mediolan and Real Madryt. Now he's changing Manchester United. He restores United to the glory days when Manchester United coach was Alex Ferguson. Aside from the readable narrative, this book contains some practical tips. Taking control of a football locker room filled with superstars requires range of special skills. Jose's story shows how to take shape these skills and use them in our life. You don't have to be a football coach, to take advantage of reading this book

Really enjoy reading about polarising figures. The 2 Mourinho books i read came out quite close to each other. Both good reads, and little different. One of them, I apologise. This one, or the one with Luis Lourenco detail the CL in 2004, and i remember specifically the Semi Final 2nd Leg. I watched that game with admiration. So was in tuned with the book(s).

A fantastic book that really put my mind into the boots of a brilliant man during the most brilliant moments of his career.

I feel with a figure like José it's important to understand who, how and why to truly see his genius and where it comes from.

We'll worth a read if you're a football man

This is an interesting book to read for anyone interested in finding out how Mourinho came from nowhere to manage one of the world's leading teams, Chelsea. It includes interviews of fellow managers and others who have known Mourinho along the road. It also looks at Mourinho's methods of management from a psychological point of view.

There are no interviews with Mourinho though but there are mentions of the official Mourinho biography so that will be my next read.

An interesting read into an interesting character.

What might have been an interesting book was largely spoilt by the constant background noise of Patrick Barclay's axe being ground. He never lets a chance for a snide aside or petulant dig pass him by. If you want an unbiased, objective read, this isn't it.

[Ahmed Malik]

I liked this book because it explains how a world class manager has succeeded in his career.

This book is abou the manager Jose Mourinho. It talks about his managing career and what he accomplished in each team.

Mourinho é um vencedor e um homem muito interessante...
