10 facts about Jose Mourinho that you probably didn't know

#3 Mourinho attempted to stop a book on him being published

Mourinho tasted defeat outside football in 2004. A book titled Jose Mourinho - Made in Portugal: The Official Biography by Portuguese journalist Louis Lourenco, is a best-seller in the country, despite the Portugese manager's attempts to stop it from being published in the first place.

The book portrayed Mourinho's family and their fear towards him. However, he failed to stop its release and the book sold more than 15,000 copies.

The failure to stop the sale of the book was confirmed in court when the judge dismissed Mourinho's appeal against the release of the book and this added insult to injury for the Portuguese manager.

At the end of the case the judge said there was no clear basis for Mourinho's complaint and added, “The author acted within the limits of his profession as a journalist and writer acting correctly in the context of a free, democratic and pluralistic press, exercising his rights of freedom of expression and information.”
