Publisher's summary

Mourinho is both a sumptuous celebration of The Special One's managerial career so far, and an enigmatic insight into his unique brand of football (soccer) wisdom and philosophy.

In the legendary manager's very first audiobook, and in his own images and captions, José Mourinho charts the peaks and troughs of the opening 15 years of what has been a stellar rise to the summit of the global game.

Excellent read

As a coach myself, I love getting into the minds of other coaches. Jose is a manager who presents differently than he actually is. I loved learning of Jose the man. Fantastic book.

Narrator sounds like he is drunk sometimes

Good story but the narrator sounds like drunk at times. Waiting for a real biography by Mourinho himself

Great anecdotes, but a bit lacking

A wonderful performance and interesting, revealing anecdotes but this is not the book to learn of Mourinho's upbringing in the game, his influences or how he developed his unique perspectives and strategies within the game itself. The book did an excellent job of humanizing Mourinho and showing the depth of the man himself.

it's a Chelsea story on Jose

very well written and narrated. but it's all about Chelsea, I thought it was more abyjose and his life, not just his time with Chelsea. great if you're a Chelsea fan, but most of us are not

Terrible!

Just a read-through of all the Chelsea matches and transfers under Maurinho. Like reading a wiki page of season summary.

Boot about Robert Beasley not about José Mourinho

If you were looking for an audiobook to tell you the hindsights and go deep in Mourinho's tactics on and off the pitch, this is not for you. This is an audiobook about Robert Beasley ( the author) bragging about his relantionship with Mourinho. Total disappointment.
