This gripping biography offers a rare insight into Jose Mourinho, one of football's most successful and controversial managers, updated to include the full 2016-17 season. Known for his charisma and drama, Mourinho has worked at top clubs like Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, consistently delivering trophies and solidifying his claim as one of the greatest managers in the sport. However, the question remains: is his public persona genuine or merely an act? Author Robert Beasley, an award-winning sports correspondent who has closely followed Mourinho since 2004, provides a unique perspective, having gained privileged access to the manager's inner circle. This biography reveals the man behind the headlines, exploring his thoughts and experiences, as well as the behind-the-scenes dynamics at elite clubs. Readers will discover untold stories about Mourinho's near appointments with England and Tottenham, his complex relationships with figures like Roman Abramovich and Arsene Wenger, and his prioritization of family and friends over football. This intimate portrayal unveils a side of Jose Mourinho that few have seen, making it a compelling read for fans and followers of the sport.
