He is a master psychologist, using the media and mind games to create an advantage for his teams.

BEST MOMENTS "And I think one of the, or amongst the things that excite people about Mourinho and intrigue people about Mourinho is the way in which he landed into the most successful league in the world, the English Premier League with Chelsea and how he took it by storm." "Jose Mourinho was an overnight success. Very quickly following on from the great success he had in Portugal, as anybody who is invested in the game knows, he went on to have enormous success at Chelsea, coached Manchester United, Real Madrid, and continues to be a highly successful European coach now in Italy." "He built them up to be greater than they were. He lent them every bit of belief he had and made them feel great and made them into the best players that they could possibly be." "Obsessed with detail as many great leaders and winners are. But on the football pitch, he was at the vanguard or the forefront, the cutting edge of evolution, where technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of football coaching are brought into the arena of everything being done together."
