From The Times.............

Never let it be said that José Mourinho is unaware of his significance to the human race. “Like Neo in The Matrix, he is the one, the special one, the one sent for special tasks, the chosen one for a big revolution, for salvation,” a new book written in conjunction with the Chelsea manager says. Which is big talk for a man whose team have just lost away to Aston Villa.
And the comparisons do not stop at Neo, the messianic and trench-coated leader played by Keanu Reeves in the trilogy. Or even at James Bond, whom, we learn, Mourinho believes that he plays with convincing self-possession in the recent Samsung advertisements.
Historical figures including Fidel Castro, Pericles and Frederick the Great can be thrilled at their name-checks alongside the Chelsea manager. And while there is no doubting who is the star of the show, there are also bit-part roles for Moses, Roosevelt, Churchill and Hitler in this study of what makes great leaders.

The publishing world needs to raise its game if someone has not already arranged for the original Portuguese version of Leadership – The Lessons of Mourinho, to be translated into English. Anything with the Chelsea manager’s handsome features on the front cover sells by the lorryload, although it may be hard to know where to put it in Waterstone’s. Perhaps a section of its own called “hagiography”.
