As Mourinho has risen to the summit, he has expanded his horizons,
analyzing the management styles at Microsoft and Apple, reading Colin
Powell's autobiography and Phil Jackson's books, studying John Wooden's
Pyramid of Success. He wants to come to the U.S., both to observe NFL
coaching staffs and, eventually, to manage the U.S. national team or an
MLS club. "A football coach who only understands football is not a great
coach," says Mourinho. "We have to be good in other things. I never
forget: My players are men. Men with different personalities, different
cultures. To deal with this is very important in building a team. I
think I have, maybe, a gift."
Unlike most managers, Mourinho broke
into elite coaching not as a former star player—his brief career as a
defender ended at age 24—but as an interpreter. He translated for
English manager Sir Bobby Robson for five seasons, first in Portugal and
then in Spain, at Barcelona. When Robson left Barça in 1997, Mourinho
stayed on as an assistant coach under Louis van Gaal, earning the
Dutchman's trust for his tactical acumen, player relationships and
famously detailed scouting reports. (Mourinho had started analyzing
teams as a teenager for his father, Félix, a former player and coach in
Portugal.) "He works like a crazy man," says Drogba. "At Chelsea he was
doing the same [scouting reports] for fourth division teams in the FA
Cup as he was for Manchester United. It shows you how serious he is."

"I like the look of Mourinho, there's a bit of the young Clough about him. For a start, he's good-looking and, like me, he doesn't believe in the star system. He's consumed with team spirit and discipline." Brian Clough
