Mourinho on Football

By José Mourinho

One of the most successful and respected soccer coaches of all time reveals his thoughts and philosophy on the Beautiful Game. 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. Mourinho is unique in winning seven league titles in four different European countries: in his homeland of Portugal with Porto, in England with Chelsea, in Italy with Inter Milan, and in Spain with Real Madrid. In this book he discusses his apprenticeship in the game and the differences in soccer culture and mentality in various countries. He also reveals how he builds and assesses a team; how he prepares for each season; how he motivates players and staff; how he handles transfers and the transfer windows; who he admires and seeks advice from; and his thoughts on referees, fans, and club owners. This book is a must for coaches of all levels-from soccer moms and dads to professional managers-and soccer fans alike.
