Mourinho made his name during a two-year spell with Porto during which he won two league titles, the UEFA Cup and, most memorably, the Champions League in his final season to earn a move to the Premier League.
Mourinho branded himself the Special One on his arrival in Stamford Bridge and won the title in his first two seasons at the club. He also won the FA Cup and two League Cups, but the European success owner Roman Abramovich craved eluded him and he left suddenly.

The Portuguese returned to management in Serie A and won the title in his first season before leading Inter to the league, cup and Champions League treble in his second. The Champions League final win over Bayern Munich was his last game in charge before leaving for Real Madrid.

He ended Barca's domination of the Primera Division by winning the league in his second season. He was unable to conquer Europe, though, and failed to win a single trophy in his final campaign before leaving by mutual consent.

But the 2015-16 campaign started miserably and he became embroiled in a succession of controversies. Poor results ultimately resulted in the end.
