Jose Mourinho
built 281 days ago
Jose Mourinho is an enigmatic and extremely intelligent individual, a man who understands how to play with the media and with people’s minds. He is good and evil in equal measures - the master motivator and the master baiter. Jose Mourinho has his faults - but just one glance at what he says to the press (see Jose Mourinho’s quotes) tells you that he is constantly pushing people around him and the rules in order to get what he wants. He is driven by a hunger to succeed that is seldom seen in even the best of people and it’s that winning habit that he manages to empower his players with. Jose Mourinho - a man who wins titles, consistently. How many other managers can say that?

Jose Mourinho is football's equivalent of Simon Cowell. The Chelsea manager says what he thinks, has an ego the size of Wales and is one of those men the public love to hate. However, like his television counterpart, Jose is ... something of a sex symbol with those dark good looks and Portuguese style. And the fact he earns £5m a year doesn't do his desirability any harm either.

The BBC is reporting that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has left the club by mutual consent. Mourinho was hired in the summer of 2004 and led Chelsea to Premiership titles in his first two seasons in charge at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea ... won two League Cups, the FA Cup, and a Community Shield during the Mourinho era.

Like Tony Blair and George Galloway, Jose Mourinho has a Respect Agenda. He has unconcealed admiration and affection for football coaches and managers, even if his spats with Wenger and Rijkeard might suggest otherwise. But these are only the kind of squabbles which concern most families and are easily settled.

Chelsea visit Old Trafford on Sunday for the first major showdown of the Premiership season, without Jose Mourinho, who walked out on the club. The Special One dropped the bomb-shell in the early hours of Thursday, sending shock waves around the world of football, and putting Premiership betting in a spin. He will be replaced by little known Israeli, Avram Grant, who’s presence as Director of Football on Roman Abramovich’s recommendation, seems to have been a factor in Mourinho’s decision. This incident underlines that nothing can be taken for granted in football, though bettors can always rely on PinnacleSports.com for up to 60% better odds on Premiership betting.

In soccer-loving homes, Jose Mourinho has emerged as a household name since 2000. In the first two years of the millennium, Mourinho's popularity grew in the Portuguese soccer league as he proved his mettle as head coach of first Benfica, and then Uniao de Leiria. He was then handpicked to take over for Octavio Machado as head coach of FC Porto, which is where his career really took off.
