5) Jose Mourinho
He’s come up a few times already but he deserves a category of his own really. Jose Mourinho may be a terrific manager, one of the best in the world even, but so often he is painted as ‘charming’, ‘witty’ and ‘a breath of fresh air’ when really he is one of the most dislikeable and unpleasant characters in the game today. The Portuguese coach takes his mind games to a whole new level, showing disrespect for a huge number of his opponents and smugly proclaiming himself as ‘special’. A bad loser, a bad winner, an arrogant and nasty piece of work who spends millions on players and then makes them sit back and defend against any decent side they come up against.
A campaign against Chelsea? It can’t come too soon.
