Why is José Mourinho so successful?

José Mourinho is the current head coach of the Italian Serie A club Roma. Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers in history and is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.

But what distinguishes him? Why does he always win? Why does he inspire such devotion and faith in his players?

For starters, his match preparation is nearly unrivaled. Mourinho frequently works 16-hour days between coaching, player management, scouting, and preparing dossiers on his team’s next opponents.

He plans both on and off the field, leads by example and as a leader, organizes his teams to the Nth degree, and is intimately familiar with his own players’ strengths and weaknesses.

Above all, he instills in his players that they are family, and families stick together through thick and thin. If you’re a member of Mourinho’s family, you usually celebrate with a lot of “thick.”

Jose Mourinho’s brilliant approach to organizing, leading, and controlling every aspect of the game distinguishes him as not only the best soccer coach in the world, but possibly the best coach in any sport.
