Product Description

Product Description

An explosive and shocking biography of Jose Mourinho - revealing the dark side of 'the special one'.

When José Mourinho announced his return to English football, it sparked celebrations from fans and press alike. As one of the most charismatic figures in the game, his reappearance could surely only be a good thing…

But is there a darker side to the Mourinho? A mischievous, scheming, even tyrannical quality to the man beneath the veneer of charm?

As part of El Pais, Diego Torres is one of the premier investigative journalists in Spanish football, and in this explosive biography of 'the special one' he uncovers secrets and lies that will change the way we see Mourinho.

From dodgy dealings to assassinations of players both outside and within his own team, and other shocking revelations, Prepare To Lose reveals Mourinho as a man far removed from the hero so many people consider him to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Side 1 May 2014
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
Don't really know how much of this book is the truth, but I enjoyed it immensely. A delicious dissection of "the Special One", devoured it in two sittings.
A cracking read !

4.0 out of 5 stars entertaining 14 April 2014

Whether or not the contents in this book are entirely true is hard to tell. It is thoroughly entertaining and sheds some light on what I always thought was mourinhos stage management in the way he conducts himself. The Madrid years were low points in his career. The future will allow us to see whether this book is a genuine expose or the work of an envious fellow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but you get tired of reading all the hassle that went on at real. 18 April 2014
By J. Koch - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The book is well written and well researched, but it almost comes as a surprise that some football was even played during the three years of Mourinho's reign. The writer does not view the problems from Mourinho's side - presumably he wasnt available for comment, but at any rate the author's aim is to show the three years as living hell for most of the Madrid players. Yet despite all the criticism aimed at Mourinho, we don't get a satisfactory explanation why they and the Club overall were able to put up with him for so long.
