Jose Mourinho Wins 2010 FIFA Coach Of The Year Award

Jose Mourinho has been named the best manager of 2010 by FIFA after leading Inter Milan to the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League title last season. The “Special One” beat out Spain manager Vicente del Bosque, who won last summer’s World Cup, and Pep Guardiola, Barcelona’s boy wonder who took Barca to the Spanish title last season.

Now at Real Madrid in Spain’s La Liga, Mourinho left Inter Milan after the club’s most successful season in their history. Currently second in La Liga only behind rivals Barcelona, Mourinho has again transformed a side in need of something different, something special.

While over taking Barcelona as Spain’s best club looks to be a difficult feat, Mourinho has Madrid qualified for the Champions League round of 16, in striking distance of Barcelona for top spot and has Madrid playing some of the best football in Europe.

A brilliant man manager, tactician and manipulator of the media, Mourinho has succeeded at multiple clubs across Europe in year’s past including Portugal’s Porto (UEFA Champions League title in 2004, multiple times League and Cup winner), England’s Chelsea (winner of the Premier League twice and multiple Cup winner) and recently, last year’s Inter success.
