Is José Mourinho still the Special One ?

For most football fans, José Mourinho is the "special one" as he likes to call himself. He started being a popular football manager after coaching Futebol Clube do Porto and winning all possible tittles both in Portugal and in Europe.

Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, didn’t lose any time and hired him with the intention of winning the English title that Chelsea wasn’t able to win for the last 50 years. José Mourinho, not only won the English title as he managed to win it for two consecutive years. After that he started being considered one of the world best football managers and most respected ones.
Although Mourinho has left the Chelsea FC almost one year ago, his popularity in Stamford Bridge is still so big that Chelsea FC Fans keep chanting his name in every game the club play.

Now, José Mourinho is the new manager of Inter Milan and he must prove that he is still the special one, that he is still able to surprise his opponents. Everyone is curious to see how José Mourinho will use his mind games to get advantage on their opponents. The tactical knowledge is there but what kind of mind games will he be able to use to motivate his players.
Inter Milan has won the Italian title for the past three years in a row so José Mourinho has a much harder task for this season because this season the Italian title is not enough and if Inter Milan isn’t able to become the next European champions it will be a major failure to Mourinho. The “one man show” is back and every football fan is anxious to see what surprises he has for us, what mind games will he use this season and if José Mourinho can still be considered the special one.

He is one of the best manager in the Europe and I think Chelsea did big mistake to fired him, Now with Inter Milan, he will looking for a UEFA Champions League title as he did with Porto. He is good brain and guide team to win each and every matches.

I never did consider Mourino the special one, though that is what he likes to call himself. What he did in Portugal was supreme but what he did at Chelsea was hardly difficult considering he could buy the most expensive substitute bench in the entire world thereby preventing the managers of other teams buying expensive and good players. I admire managers who buy young players and bring them on - it takes a real special eye to recognise talent in a 14 year old untried player it takes no real talent to buy an already famour player because the team owner has bottomless pockets.

Don't forget that he has Abramovic to give him financial supports. Abramovic will surely pay for a player if Mourinho really wanted him.
