Series of profiles of people who are currently making headlines. Mark Coles profiles Jose Mourinho, in the week he is confirmed as Manchester United manager.
To many, including himself, Jose Mourinho is the most successful football manager in the world - the 'special one'.
He has won league titles in all of the countries he's worked in. But he is also divisive; famous for igniting rows with opponents and provoking referees.
Mourinho was born into football. His father was a goalkeeper who once played for Portugal. The young Jose wanted to be a player too but after short spells in minor clubs he realised coaching offered him a brighter future.
Fast forward 25 years and this week Mourinho has been named Manchester United's new manager.
