José MOURINHO
Made in Portugal
the authorised biography by Luís Lourenço
Now the most sought-after club manager in Europe, José Mourinho arrived in London in the summer of 2004. He made an immediate, and, at times controversial, impact on English football, with his unmistakeable self-confidence, and driving ambition. This fascinating book charts his early rise from relatively humble beginnings as assistant coach to Sir Bobby Robson, to becoming the manager of Chelsea.
Readers of this extraordinary book will gain an insight into Mourinho’s management skills, as well as his whole footballing philosophy, and his approach to motivating his players. Mourinho himself writes of his move to Roman Abramovich's Chelsea 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 one of the biggest nights of his life.
Long-term family friend, Portuguese journalist Luís Lourenço guides us through the formative years in Mourinho's coaching career, as he returns to Portugal from Barcelona at the turn of the millennium and embarks on the remarkable four-year journey which led him to Chelsea. A journey which included short-lived yet turbulent spells at Portuguese giants Benfica and minnows União de Leiria, and culminated in a night of unforgettable glory for FC Porto and José Mourinho as they were crowned Champions of Europe.
