Diego Torres's book about Mourinho

[ForeverHeat]

There are some crazy stories about Mourinho at Madrid in this book, take a look at these extracts:


[QUOTE]The presence of a mole at Real Madrid worried Mourinho so much that between 2011 and 2012 he ordered two sweeps of the hotel where the team stayed to search for hidden microphones. The investigations were unsuccessful. The Sheraton Mirasierra was apparently clean.

The control of information was another thing that deeply exercised Mourinho; he assigned a group of people to carry out a daily analysis of everything that the media said about him. Every morning Mourinho received a package containing the summary. His day began at 8am in his office at Valdebebas, studying videos, articles and broadcasts. He realised that he and his colleagues were not the only sources of the content, and that certain things that were being published did not exactly project an image of infallibility.

He began to suspect that there were leaks in his organisation. The proximity of the Cl

These actions seem to belong to a Dictator losing his power. Oh Mou... :oldlol:

[ImKobe]

Always knew this guy was a psychopath.

[ForeverHeat]

Bump. Football fans should read this.

Pathetic that he didnt want to win the 2nd Semi against Barcelona. :lol

I doubt any of this is true. I have mixed feelings about Jose. RM did win with him but the way he left was pretty sad. He gave up on coaching the last months of his tenure there.

I believe the Spanish press destroyed him. If they would have left him alone instead of provoking him, then it would be better.

lol you think that BS is true?:lol

lol you think that BS is true?:lol

I dont know if its true or not, but this guy is a well known journalist in Spain. Hes not talking in generalities, he is giving some very exact information that leads to me to believe he really does know something. If it was all lies, Mourinho could easily sue him for libel, so I dont think its completely false. It might be exaggerated though.

Don't worry. Dude is going to be sued.

Jose stopped another book being published before.

I'm sure if this was written about LeBron or Pep you'd be all over it. :oldlol:


Sounds like BS anyway. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't take away from how good a manger Mou is, and that is the best in the game currently.

[Done_And_Done]

Jose is infamously known for having an inflated ego matched by none so it wouldn't surprise me if some of this chaos proved to be true. Those anecdotes made it seem as though he was man on the verge of a breakdown. It's quite sad when you look beyond the madness...

Mourinho is a great manager obviously, but it's possible he will have another Trophyless season.

Has Pep ever not had the best team in the world?

The book has been largely discredited, but mostly from Mourinho's camp and supporters.

Apparently he cried after losing out on the Man United job

[QUOTE]Mourinho ... thought that Ferguson was, besides his ally, also his friend and godfather. He was convinced that they were tied by a relationship of genuine trust. He thought that his fabulous collection of titles constituted an 'endorsement' unreachable to any other contenders. When he knew that Ferguson had chosen Moyes, the Everton coach, he was struck by a terrible disbelief. Moyes hadn't won absolutely anything!"

Torres said that Mourinho was on the phone constantly to his sports agency Gestifute. "Mourinho wouldn't stop calling them. His 'interlocutors' had heard him sob loudly and they were spreading the word. The most feared man in the company was crushed."

The book, whose account has been denied by Mourinho's adviser, goes on to describe the Portuguese spending a sleepless night in a hotel in Madrid, "the most unfortunate hours of Mourinho's phase as Real Madrid coach. He endured them between dozing and waking, glued to his mobile phone in search of clarifications, on the night of the 7th and the morning of the 8th of May, tucked into the Sheraton Mirasierra hotel." Moyes's appointment was made official on 9 May.

Mourinho, according to the book, was sure that Ferguson would call with an explanation but he heard nothing. He recalled reading comments from the United director Sir Bobby Charlton pouring scorn on the idea of him getting the job.

"He was tormented by the memory of an interview of Sir Bobby Charlton in the Guardian in December. His judgments gave him a big uncertainty. 'A United coach wouldn't do what he did to Tito Vilanova', stated Charlton, evoking the finger in the eye, when asked if he saw Mourinho as a successor for Ferguson. In regards to the admiration that Ferguson professed towards him, the veteran footballer implied that it was a fable: 'He doesn't like him that much'.

"In the morning he called Mendes so that he urgently got in touch with United. Until the end he wanted his agent to pressure the English club as an attempt to block any operation. It was an act of desperation. They both knew that Mendes had put Mourinho in the market a year earlier."

The book says that "Mendes had already been told in the autumn of 2012 that Ferguson's first option was Pep Guardiola. He had been explained the reasons. In Gestifute, the message from a United executive rumbled like a drum: 'The problem is that when things don't work for Mou, he doesn't do club politics. He does Jos

[plowking]

The first one I could believe... maybe. The second one about the United job is absolutely ridiculous. This guy will more than likely get sued. lol

[arkain]

Wouldn't believe a single thing Diego Torres says about Mourinho. He was exposed several times for making up lies while Jose was at Real. He's got something against him.
