Mourinho should be next England manager says leading sports psychologist

Jose Mourinho ticks all the boxes to be England manager and could transform the team from losers into winners, according to leading sports psychologist Dr George Sik. The Portuguese coach walked out of Stamford Bridge in September as Chelsea's most successful-ever manager after winning six trophies in three glorious years.

Dr Sik believes there is a dearth of talented, available English coaches able to handle and motivate the national side. But Mourinho could be the answer.

"Mourinho is a superb man-manager and motivator," said Dr Sik. "He has tremendous optimism and belief, to the point of arrogance.

"Optimism is one of the most stable aspects of the human condition and he is also very good at gelling a team.

"It is certainly difficult to think very highly of yourself if you don't have the deepest respect of the entire team. Mourinho would achieve that more than anyone else.

"He would be the people's choice and he ticks all the boxes as far as any individual can in terms of having all of the qualities that are associated with winning."
