Few managers are able to leave a mark on the squads they work with. Mourinho is one of those managers. He has always had an impact on every group he has lead to success and has left a mark on many important players who speak very highly of him whenever his name comes up. His success is one of the reasons he is so special. The most important thing about him is probably his work ethic. Even though he can be termed as arrogant or disrespectful by adversaries at times, he is a true mentor and a friend to his players. One of the thing that makes footballers appreciate him so much is the fact that he manages to push them to the limit. Stars like Drogba or Ibrahimovic have always praised Chelsea’s manager for the way he knew how to get the best out of them.

According to ChelseaFC.com Mourinho has unveiled one method that he plans on using for the future in order to have his players motivated and determined to win no matter what. Confrontational Leadership as he calls it is something most managers have no knowledge about. Apparently, the Special one is so into his work and into the players’ way of thinking that he will go as far as to provoke players in order to get the best out of them. It takes a great leader and a skillful manager to be able to pull this off. Obviously, Mourinho did it given the incredible form shown by players like Hazard, Fabregas, Eto’o and many others who have shined under the Special One’s guidance.
