When Jose Mourinho realised as a teenager that he was never going to be a great player, he decided he was going to become the best coach in the world. 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.

Further Anatomy of a Winner is an intelligent, analytical & now fully updated account of the life & psychology of one of the greatest football managers. ...
