Jose Mourinho could be an upgraded version of Sir Alex Ferguson as his psychological techniques seem similar to that of Manchester United’s former manager. Chelsea’s boss has made a name for himself both on and off the pitch offering a rather unique take on football. His excellent observational skills which allow him to find weak points where no one thinks to look and his incredible motivational abilities have become something of a successful strategy worthy of being followed by other people in similar positions.

Putting pressure on fellow managers or even the FA is no longer something out of the ordinary for Mourinho who acquired many related abilities when he was a student. His study of motivational techniques and sports psychology definitely pushes the balance in his favor when it comes to confronting title rivals like Arsenal. The Gunners seem to have lost their way after the Blues’ manager called Wenger a specialist in failure.

Mourinho also excels when it comes to motivating his players. No matter which approach he utilises, it seems to work almost every time.

The Portuguese manager will block players moving to rival teams in order to increase his chances of success. According to Yahoo! Eurosport, signing Salah might have been a way of preventing him from joining Liverpool during the winter which would have made Chelsea’s job of winning the Premier League a bit harder.

Despite seeming to be a bit dodgy at times, his techniques have enabled him to win a lot of trophies no matter where he has been managing.
