To achieve this, the Portuguese coach knows that it is absolutely essential to form a real group. How does he do to build teams, to lead them to transcendence, to motivate them after big wins, to manage egos so big towards the same objectives? The answer to these and other questions are in this book. The book features the exclusive participation of José Mourinho, some major players led by him as Didier Drogba, Deco, Vítor Baía and Jorge Costa, and Rui Faria, his most important assistant for many years. Originally published in Portugal (already reached the 15th edition), it was No. 1 in the national top sales for three weeks. Review: A beautiful read... - In Special Leadership, we're given a view into the psyche, philosophy and ultimately the coaching methodology of Mourinho. For a while now, we've seen Mourinho's meteoric rise from lowly Leiria to now of Chelsea, and one thing always stands out about his teams - they are inherently autonomous in the way they play on the field, which we learn, is by design. Mourinho is a character that's hard to get close to - you can watch his media snippets, his interviews or documentaries about him - but you can never get too close to the personal thoughts of the enigmatic Mourinho. Here, you learn why he does the things he does, the things he says... his focus, his charisma, all of the qualities that mesh together to create a "special leader." Possibly one of the best books I've read on management, coaching and philosophy. I highly recommend this to any soccer fanatic, coach, player, or anyone looking to improve their management skills. 5/5 Review: Good Read - Love how the book connects theory, philosophy, and coaching style to explain Mourinho - This book really digs into the detail on the composition of Jose Mourinho's leadership style. Complexity theory (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts) is the overarching theory that guides Mourinho's coaching methods, which clearly explains why he is a big proponent of the Global training method (combining all aspects technical, tactical, physical, mental) into his training exercises. Found it to be an interesting read and very thought provoking. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,780,158 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 64 Reviews | ## Images ![Jose Mourinho - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61y-cWqYW6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful read... *by K***. on November 5, 2014* In Special Leadership, we're given a view into the psyche, philosophy and ultimately the coaching methodology of Mourinho.

Complexity theory (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts) is the overarching theory that guides Mourinho's coaching methods, which clearly explains why he is a big proponent of the Global training method (combining all aspects technical, tactical, physical, mental) into his training exercises. Found it to be an interesting read and very thought provoking. ### ⭐⭐ Some good nuggets, but overall disappointing *by H***H on September 15, 2015* I was really looking forward to reading this book but up to this point it's been very rough going so far - I've had great difficulty getting through the book without having to re-read sections due to the writing. I'm wondering if the cause for the difficulty is due to the translation as I've noted a number of unusual phrases that have made sentences overly complicated, in my opinion. Also, given that the writer is a close friend of the subject, the tone of the writing seems to show a distinct bias, so in my analysis I feel the need to take this into account. In spite of these issues though, I have liked hearing anecdotes from players and coaches as these have proven the most insightful thus far. I may adjust my review after completing the book, but at this point, I doubt I'll need to. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/160867437-jose-mourinho](https://www.desertcart.at/products/160867437-jose-mourinho) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
