Jose Mourinho is an enigmatic and extremely intelligent individual, a man who understands how to play with the media and with people’s minds. He is good and evil in equal measures – the master motivator and the master baiter.
Jose Mourinho has his faults – but just one glance at what he says to the press (see Jose Mourinho’s quotes) tells you that he is constantly pushing people around him and the rules in order to get what he wants. He is driven by a hunger to succeed that is seldom seen in even the best of people and it’s that winning habit that he manages to empower his players with.
Jose Mourinho – a man who wins titles, consistently. How many other managers can say that?
There is some news from the weekend to get caught up on, but first, there’s an actual signing to report.
