Manchester United have appointed Jose Mourinho as manager, following the sacking of Louis Van Gaal.
The 53-year-old Portuguese replaces Dutchman Louis van Gaal whose
two-year reign at Old Trafford ended on Monday, two days after United
lifted the FA Cup.
The self-styled “Special One”, Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in
December, ending his second spell in charge of the London club. He has
also managed Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
He is regarded by a number of players, coaches, and commentators as
one of the greatest and most successful managers in the world. In 2015
Mourinho was named the best Portuguese coach of the century by the
Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). Mourinho began his involvement in
professional football as a player in the Portuguese Second Division. He
studied sports science in Technical University of Lisbon and attended
coaching courses in Britain. In Lisbon, he worked as a physical
education teacher and had spells working as a youth team coach, a scout,
and an assistant manager. In the early 1990s, he became an interpreter
for Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting CP and Porto in Portugal, and Barcelona
in Spain. He remained at the Catalonian club working with Robson’s
successor Louis van Gaal.
