Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From translator and assistant to Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona, to Champions League-winning manager at Porto and on to (potentially) Europe's most successful football club at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho's ascent has been rapid. Many have commented that with Abramovich's millions, resources are not exactly a problem at Chelsea; that success has effectively been bought. However, in appointing Mourinho, Abramovich has installed one of the sharpest brains in football at Stamford Bridge. astute signings and has improved the game of many Chelsea stars. The result: by late February the Premiership is all but wrapped up. Patrick Barclay, acclaimed football correspondent of the Sunday Telegraph, has written an intelligent, analytical and concise account of the psychology of Mourinho. To develop this portrait, he has interviewed those who have worked with him, such as Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, as well as the players who provide a revealing insight into what has made Mourinho the most successful manager in the world at the moment.
