The World Cup winning Brazilian coach and current Portugese manager is a world class mentalist.
The future England manager is known for his erratic and unusual style, including using astrology, Chinese military strategies, and violence to get his team to win.
Here's a summary of some of his techniques:
* Before a vital game in the last World Cup against Belgium he let the press and fans watch an entire training session (rather than the conventional first ten minutes before the doors are closed). Everyone saw their free kicks, corners, formation, and likely line-up. He didn't care, he wanted to intimidate - and Brazil went on to win the game.
* He used several astrologers to help pick a team before one big match, but after they lost rather than ditch astrology, he sacked one of the astrologers and kept using the rest.
* He has delivered Chinese military strategies to players hotel rooms in preparation for a game
* As a player he was known as "the truck" because of his no nonsense tackling.
* He called fans of top Brazilian club Palmeiras "peanut eaters" - while he was their manager
* He has punched a football journalist and a rival coach in his time
* Asked a referee for a fight after the game when he was banned from the touchline
* Once said Pele "knows nothing about football"
But he's still widely considered as the best coach in the world, after taking Portugal to the finals of the European Cup just two years after winning the World Cup with Brazil.
World Cup Ranter is shocked the FA have offered him half the pay of the current coach Sven Goran Errikson, who, as coach of one of the most expensive teams in world football, has WON FUCK ALL.
Bring on the mentalist. Bring on the World Cup. We can't wait!
