José Mourinho: The Art of Winning

The manager everyone loves to hateâ€¦

Mercurial Portuguese manager JosÃ© Mourinho, who regards himself as footballâ€™s equivalent of George Clooney, featured in his own blockbuster this summer when he took charge of Manchester United â€“ the worldâ€™s biggest club.

The news sent shockwaves through the Old Trafford faithful â€“ generations of whom have pledged their loyalty to a succession of managerial legends including Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.

At the very outset of what promises to be a tumultuous season for the Red Devils, Andrew J Kirby investigates in his latest book JosÃ© Mourinho: The Art of Winning whether the latest controversial move by the clubâ€™s owners is a marriage made in heaven or hell.

He examines in a way that only fans know how the performance of the man they loved to hate but who would now be King of Manchester â€“ the wins, the loses, the tantrums, the arrogance, the rivalries, and the mind-games.

Can they forgive and forget?

Stuffed full of statistical detail and flavoured with a wistful view of a game, he sets the spectacular scene for a showdown of showdowns in this seasonâ€™s Premier League campaign where the ultimate prize for United will be the crucial return to the Champions League.

With interviews with football writers, players and fans, this book is a must that every Manchester United fan â€“ and indeed every football supporter â€“ needs to read.

Andrew J Kirbyâ€™s sports-writing has featured in BBC Sport magazine and on the Radio Five Live website. He has held a Manchester United season ticket for the entirety of the Sir Alex Ferguson reign at Old Trafford and regularly follows the Reds across Europe and beyond. His other books include, Fergieâ€™s Finest: Sir Alex Fergusonâ€™s First 11, The Pride of All Europe: Manchester Unitedâ€™s Greatest Seasons in the European Cup and Louis van Gaal: Dutch Courage.

He has also written award-winning crime fiction as AJ Kirby, and has published five novels including Sharkways and Paint This Town Red, which was shortlisted for the Guardian's Not the Booker Prize 2012.
