Jose Mourinho profile

Jose Mourinho profileJosé Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho was born in 1963 in Setúbal, Portugal. After leaving his job as a school coach, Mourinho looked for paths into professional management in his hometown and became youth team coach at Vitória de Setúbal in the early 1990s. Sir Bobby Robson had been appointed as the new manager of Lisbon club Sporting Clube de Portugal and the Englishman required a local coach with a good command of English to work as his interpreter. Initially, the move was a step away from management but as an interpreter, Mourinho earned Robson’s respect and friendship. He welcomed Mourinho’s translations and the two became close through discussing tactics and coaching. That is how started the career of Jose Mourinho. Robson took Mourinho with him in Barcelona, and after Robson leaved Barcelona, Mourinho stayed with new coach Louis Van Gaal. He began working with Robson’s successor, Louis van Gaal, and he learnt much from the Dutchman’s conscientious style. Both assistant and head coach combined their studious approach to the game and Barcelona won La Liga twice in van Gaal’s first two years as coach. The chance to become a top-tier manager arrived in September 2000 when Mourinho moved up from his role as assistant coach at Lisbon side Benfica to replace head coach Jupp Heynckes after the fourth week of the Portuguese Liga. He was then hand-picked in January 2002 by FC Porto to replace Octávio Machado. Mourinho guided the team to third place that year after a strong 15-game run (W–D–L: 11–2–2) and gave the promise of “making Porto champions next year.” In 2003, Mourinho won his first Portuguese Liga with a 27–5–2 record, 11 points clear of Benfica, the team he quit two years earlier. Mourinho moved to Chelsea in June 2004, becoming one of the highest paid managers in football with a salary of £4.2 million a year, subsequently raised in 2005 to £5.2 million. After Chelsea, he become manager of Inter Milan and finally Real Madrid.
