Jose Mourinho
“Please don’t call me arrogant, but I am a European champion and I think I am a Special one.”
And we conclude our piece with the self-proclaimed Special One. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny the fact that he is one of the best tacticians of the modern era. He might be disliked more than he is liked—and that is thanks to his self-centered personality—but there are only a few managers better than him for a club that wish for quick success.
After winning the league with Real Madrid, Mourinho became the only manager in history to win league titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain. This prompted him to ask the press to no longer call him the Special One, but the Only One.
He has never been shy to make statements that inflated his own ego, something which also has been a reason for his downfall in his last two clubs.
