JOSE MOURINHO PROFILE
José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho born 26 January 1963 in Setúbal is
the current manager of Real Madrid. He is commonly known as "The
Special One". Mourinho is regarded by some players, coaches and critics
as the best ever coach in football.
Mourinho started out as a player but he was unable to forge a meaningful
career in the game and eventually switched to management. After spells
working as an assistant manager and a youth team coach in the early
1990s, he became an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson.
There he worked with him at Sporting Clube de Portugal and Porto in
Portugal, before following him to Spanish club Barcelona.
