#3 Jose Mourinho
Well, the aura of ‘the Special One’ might have faded to some extent in recent seasons, but he still remains one of the biggest figures in the managerial world. Now the manager of Manchester United, Mourinho will be looking to become a club legend like Sir Alex Ferguson before him.
The Portuguese is not afraid to change his system constantly and even though he has not been too successful recently, his tactical brilliance in the big games is there for everyone to see.
He is often unfairly criticised for being a defensive manager. Well, every manager is either defensive or attacking. It’s their personal preference. Very few, however, can match the achievements of the Portuguese.
His success over the years speaks volumes about his tactical shrewdness. After all, winning the Champions League with Porto was no bread and butter task. While most managers struggle to find a plan B when their team is in trouble, Mourinho always has his plan B, C, and Ds ready.
