Mourinho’s Playing and Coaching Career
After Jose Mourinho’s uneventful career as a midfielder in the Portuguese leagues, he moved into coaching, first as an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting CP and Porto, before gaining success as an assistant at Barcelona under both Robson and his successor, Louis van Gaal. After Mourinho’s tremendous spell, impressing with brief stints at Benfica and União de Leiria, he later returned to Porto as a manager in 2002, winning the Primeira Liga twice, a Taça de Portugal, the UEFA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League, Porto’s first European Cup title since 1987. That sensational success he had was what earned him a move to England with Chelsea in 2004.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix’s braggadocio during his early managerial career, he famously said “…I think I’m a special one”, which came to be a renowned moniker for him. With the West London giants, he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and two League Cups in his three seasons at the club, before he departed in 2007 amid reports of disagreements with club owner Roman Abramovich.
Again, in 2008, the Portuguese tactician joined the Italian club Inter Milan, where he won Serie A twice, including a European treble of Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Champions League in 2010, a first for an Italian club. This level of his accomplishment made him one of five coaches to have won the European Cup with two clubs, and later that year, earned him the first FIFA World Coach of the Year. The 59-year old portuguese then moved to Real Madrid, where he won La Liga in 2011–12 with a record points tally, becoming the fifth coach to have won league titles in four countries. He also won a Copa del Rey and a Supercopa de España.
ESPN reports that in 2013, Mourinho left Real Madrid and rejoined Chelsea, where he won another league title and League Cup, but was dismissed in 2015 after a poor run of results. The following year, which was 2016, Mourinho was appointed at Manchester United and won the UEFA Europa League, League Cup and FA Community Shield in his first season. But he was dismissed in 2018, after Manchester United suffered a poor run of league results.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho didn’t rest at home due to his tremendous reputation as he became manager of Tottenham Hotspur in 2019, reaching the final of the League Cup in his second season but was dismissed in April 2021. Then ‘the special one’ was soon hired by AS Roma, leading them to win the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League this made him the first manager to both reach and win the final of a major European competition with four different clubs, the third manager to have won all three major European club competitions and the first to achieve the UEFA treble by winning the Champions League, UEFA Cup/Europa League and Europa Conference League.
It will be fantastic to point out that Mourinho was named Portuguese Coach of the Century by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) in 2015, and was the first coach to spend more than £1 billion on transfers. The reason is not far-fetched; it is because of his tactical knowledge, charismatic and controversial personality, and a reputation for prioritizing results over attractive football, he has drawn comparisons, by both admirers and critics, with Argentine manager Helenio Herrera.
