Manager

José will take on both roles of manager and first team coach, rather than also employing a director of football, to form a holistic approach where one man is ultimately responsible for the signing of schoolboys into the Academy and then for bringing them into the first team.

Mourinho has a university degree in Physical Education specialising in football methodology and has won two Portuguese Championships, the Portuguese Cup and Portuguese Super Cup as well as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup in the last two years.  His methodology is something that is obviously well honed.
