Jose Mourinho: Up Close and Personal

The gripping biography of one of the most successful managers in the game, José Mourinho, giving rare insight into the man and the manager – now completely revised and updated to include the tumultuous 2020-21 season. José Mourinho is undoubtedly one of football’s most charismatic and controversial characters. His name is never far from the headlines and having worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world – Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur – despite the challenges he has faced, he knows how to deliver when it matters. But is the way he conducts himself on the touchline and in front of the cameras the real Mourinho, or an act he puts on for the watching world? In this highly acclaimed biography, author and award-winning sports correspondent Robert Beasley reveals the man behind the scenes. Granted privileged access into the Special One’s inner sanctum, Beasley delves into the workings of the famed manager’s mind, as well as backroom antics and transfer sagas at some of the game’s greatest clubs. Revealing the untold stories behind how close Mourinho came to getting the England job, his at times tumultuous relationships with the football establishment, his trials and tribulations at Tottenham and why he will always put family and friends before football, this is a side to José Mourinho you never thought you’d see.Author: Beasley, Robert,author Contributors: Beasley, Robert,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Reprint Published/Release Date: 8 Jul 2021 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Robert Beasley Dimension (cm): 198x129x23 mm Package Dimension (cm): 21x197x129 mm Item Weight (g): 272 Package Weight (g): 278
