About this listen

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 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.

No real storyline, disappointing that the book doesn't expand on Jose' time at Inter given that a treble in serie a has never been done in the history of football. The author turns the book into small stories about himself and Chelsea occasionally adding a small part of Jose into it. Narrator doesn't know how to pronounce key words, also does really strange accents to distinguish quotes etc.

Insightful perspective of José , his philosophy on life as well as a football coach , from someone who knew him as a friend as well as a coach of renown

Insightful view of José

As a Chelsea fan, I really enjoyed this. Some tasty titbits that I had forgotten about and some that I never knew about. It's just a shame that the choice of narrator was Ric Jerrom. His almost comical attempts at mimicking Jose's accent and his pronunciation of "azaard" and other such attempts at "foreign" names grated after a while.

A great "read" . Shame about the narration.

I wish the narrator would have learned how to pronounce the names of the sport stars. Really poor effort

Poor narrating
