	LRB \| David Runciman : He shoots! He scores! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Mourinho, who is an intelligent as well as a ruthless man, knows that the most important thing for a football manager’s reputation is being in the right place at the right time.
		Mourinho knows this, but he also knows that everyone concerned – the managers and the journalists – has an incentive to pretend otherwise, in order to build their own part up.
		Mourinho will have been aware when he arrived in England that there are only three teams that currently have the resources to challenge for the Premiership title, and that two of them are currently very much overstretched.

	Biography of Jose Mourinho
		Jose Mourinho was born on 26 January 1963 in Setubal, Portugal.
		Although Jose Mourinho desired to be a footballer, it became clear to him that he did not have sufficient talent and at 23, at the prompting of his mother, he signed up for business school.
		Mourinho has written that that while Robson taught him how to motivate players, it was Van Gaal that taught him the importance of preparation and organised defence.

	Jose Mourinho: Bridge over troubled manager - Sportingo
		Mourinho, in other words, may have faced very different demands from those occupying the attention of the vast majority of his fellow managers throughout England's four divisions: but in their own way, these were just as difficult and challenging.
		Mourinho is simply a product of his footballing culture and given it is one which has provided arguably the world's best manager, not to mention a national team which has eliminated England from both the last two major tournaments, it is a bit rich to start lecturing others on the virtues of 'fair play'.
		Mourinho would hardly be likely to offer Abramovich business advice; yet his directors still seem prepared to dictate to a coach who has won four consecutive championships, the European Cup, the UEFA Cup, and has not lost a league match at home in well over four years.

	Jose Mourinho Chelsea Player Profile from 4thegame.com
		Jose Mourinho was appointed as the new manager of Chelsea on June 2nd 2004, just two days after Claudio Ranieri's dismissal from the post at Stamford Bridge.
		Mourinho took over at Porto in January 2002 and was able to transform their fortunes immediately, helping them to overcome a poor start to the season to take them to third in the league.
		Mourinho's role as a 21st century team boss is facilitated by the fact that he speaks several languages, and he has also adopted a scientific view of coaching, sometimes asking his players to study videos of their own performances at home, while also working closely with dietary specialists.

		Mourinho ruziet, als het niet met Rijkaard is, dan wel met arbiters, met Ferguson, Wenger, met spelers desnoods.
		Mourinho zegt dat hij nieuwe spelers wil kopen in de transfermaand januari, terwijl de aankopen van vóór het seizoen matig renderen: spits Sjevtsjenko, die heimwee naar Milaan zou hebben.

	Chelsea \| The Football \| Jose Mourinho
		The Brazilian was a player, a 'libero' at Rio Ave when Jose Mourinho's father was coach there, and was picked by Jose to be his assistant when he went to UD Leiria in 2001 for his second management job.
		Jose's requirements had been: "I want someone who knows how to speak to the players, and who can assert himself and has authority in the changing rooms, and someone who is - big!" Brito has been with him ever since.
		It was at the giant Spanish club he met Jose Mourinho, and when Jose took over at UD Leiria in 2001, he asked Rui to be his fitness coach.

		Jose Mourinho vowed he would be happy to see out his contract as Chelsea manager if the club give him complete backing and respect.
		Mourinho's Chelsea future has been the subject of intense speculation amid suggestions of tension between him and Blues owner Roman Abramovich over the manager's handling of £30.8million signing Andriy Shevchenko and the club's lack of activity in the January transfer window.
		Mourinho, hampered by injuries to the likes of skipper John Terry and his England team-mate Joe Cole and allegedly at odds with Abramovich over cash for new signings, also stressed that money was not the main issue.

	New Statesman - NS Man of the year - Jose Mourinho
		Mourinho's confidence is that of a man at the head of the wealthiest football club in the world, a club whose very mission, under the ownership of the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, is to become the best, a "global brand" or "franchise" surpassing even Manchester United or Real Madrid.
		Mourinho was in no doubt that the ethics of fair play had been violated and he vigorously denounced Frisk.
		If Mourinho's denunciation of Frisk were an isolated incident, one could easily dismiss it as an expression of frustration and thwarted ambition and forgive him for it.

	Abramovich goes from no way, Jose, to OK, Jose - Football - Sport - smh.com.au
		JOSE Mourinho's outburst following Chelsea's Carling Cup draw at Wycombe last week, which he repeated in an address to the club's fans on Saturday, has forced Roman Abramovich to accept that he must spend on new players - and that they should be the manager's choice.
		Last week, Mourinho had complained that, because of "club reasons", he was not allowed to bring in the players he wanted.
		The same close associate claims that Mourinho was aiming his barbs directly at Abramovich, who had refused to listen to the Portuguese coach and, instead, preferred his own advisers.

		Mourinho is said to be at odds with both chief executive Peter Kenyon and owner Roman Abramovich, though Kenyon has rubbished reports.

	One-way Jose upsets UEFA - Soccer - www.theage.com.au
		Chelsea may be facing one of the defining games of its season but Jose Mourinho is not so engrossed with the challenge of seeing off Bayern Munich that he has forgotten his feud with UEFA.
		Mourinho presumably will be delighted that UEFA reacted angrily and despairingly after he sent fitness coach Rui Faria and scarcely-used striker Mikael Forssell to represent Chelsea at the pre-match press conference.
		But Mourinho, who could have spoken, was clearly trying not only to irritate UEFA after being fined and banned, but also to expose its impotence, as he did at the first leg by either communicating with his staff during the game or concocting an elaborate hoax.
