Mou lost his assistant Vilas Boa who's now Porto manager,Mou could be found out @ Madrid.
???? what???
I've met andre and I have to say hes a very nice guy. He was mou's assistant at inter but left to coach a small team in Portugal as a manager. He did well and is now moving up the ladder. He's a big upcoming coach and you'll see him take over some big teams in the future.
He's nothing like mourinho though, i've seen him coach live and he's very different. He's detail oriented like mourinho but he's also very hands on. He gets involved on the pitch and usually leads the practice.
Mourinho usually has another coach run his practices and he observes and takes notes.
On the psychological level they also different. You won't see Villas-Boas insulting people in the press anytime soon; he doesn't use the same psyc tactics that mourinho uses.
He's also attack minded unlike mourinho. He has a different mentality to the game.

If your talking about mourinho's tactics and stuff being figured out lol; it won't happen. I asked him that very question myself. I asked him did you learn the mourinho method, did you study him etc.
He told me that mourinho didn't mentor him at all; he was a scout for him at chelsea and was then moved to assistant coach at Inter but he was playing more of an understudy role to some of the older Inter coaches like baressi and bernazzani.
He also told me mourinho doesn't do anything special or anything out of ordinary in his sessions. The only thing he is does is organization and motivating. The actual tactical work and training sessions were run by club coaches.
Mou makes the programs coaches runs them.
But the progams in themselves must be unreal as he's won so much. I didn't ask him specifics as I got like a min to talk him and I was with a whole bunch of other coaches who were bombarding him with questions.
