From translator & assistant to Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona, to Champions League-winning manager at Porto & on to turning Chelsea into one of Europe's most successful clubs, followed by Champions League victory at Inter-Milan, & now manager of Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho's ascent has been rapid. Backed by Abramovich's billions, Mourinho weeded out those not fully committed to his methods, made several astute signings & enhanced the performances of many Chelsea stars. The result: in his first season in 2005, Chelsea won both the Premier League title & the Carling Cup, followed by another title the following season. Mourinho then left for Inter-Milan where he delivered a treble in his second season in charge, & is now tasked with bringing Real Madrid's ' Galacticos' the silverware they crave. Further Anatomy of a Winner is an intelligent, analytical & now fully updated account of the life & psychology of one of the greatest football managers. ...

Includes:: a good selection of witty one-liners, insults & put-downs so you will never be lost for words again. Do you know what a mousewife is?
