Jose Mourinho to release book on his managerial brilliance

Jose Mourinho is set to release a book about his managerial brilliance next week - in the midst of Chelsea's worst start to a season in 37 years.

The Blues boss will release ' Mourinho ', which has been described as a "sumptuous visual celebration of The Special One's exceptional managerial career so far".

It represents the first book written by Mourinho, as he talks about his first 15 years in senior management in football - which includes two Champions League wins.

But things are not going so well on the pitch right now, as Chelsea linger dangerously above the relegation zone after a run of shocking results.

Saturday's defeat to Southampton leaves the reigning Premier League champions in 16th place with just two wins to their name all season.

Only Sunderland have conceded more goals this campaign.

The book's description continues: "In the legendary manager’s very first book and in his own words and https://cdn.standardmedia.co.ke/images, Mourinho charts the peaks and troughs of the opening 15 years of what has been a stellar rise to the summit of the global game."

Mourinho will do a round of media interviews to go with his high-profile publication and will undoubtedly been quizzed on their start to the season.

But he recently delivered a memorable reply to a TV journalist when asked what was going wrong, where Mourinho again slammed match referees.

Chelsea have given their full backing to Mourinho despite the current slump.
