The former Real Madrid boss has been recognised as FIFA’s Coach of the Year four times, with different clubs on each occasion.
His first trophy came in the 2002/03 season when he won the old UEFA Cup with Porto before guiding the Portuguese giants to the Champions League the year after.
At that point, Mourinho was considered one of the best around and arrived in west London as the self-proclaimed ‘Special One‘.
Chelsea then conceded a record-low 15 goals in the top flight as they won the Premier League during his first year in charge.
Two League Cups, the FA Cup and another top-flight title followed before he mutually agreed to leave Stamford Bridge.
A move to Inter Milan saw Mourinho stop Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in the Champions League before they beat Bayern Munich, and Mourinho’s old mentor Loius Van Gaal, in the final to be crowned kings of Europe.
Real came calling, and though UEFA’s top prize evaded him, Mourinho collected three trophies, including the LaLiga title.
Then came the return to Chelsea that started well but ended with the Blues outside of the top ten and several reports suggesting the players had lost faith in their boss.
However, he was soon back in management with Manchester United, and though things ended badly again, Mourinho did win the Europa League and League Cup at Old Trafford.

Mourinho became the star of Amazon’s ‘All or Nothing’ series about Spurs but was sacked before they played the League Cup final against Manchester City, which still annoys him to this day.
That would have handed Mourinho the chance to win Tottenham a trophy and keep his record going, but Spurs handed the reigns to Ryan Mason and they lost 1-0 at Wembley.
The ex-United gaffer is now in Turkey and his Fenerbahce are going up against Galatasaray for the league title this year, while the cups will also be on his radar.
It’s early days in the league, but Fenerbahce currently trail Galatasaray, so the Europa League and cups will take on extra importance.
In Serie A, his Roma side finished sixth three years running and he was handed his marching orders in January 2024.
He did, however, win the inaugural season of the UEFA Europa Conference League as Roma beat Feyenoord in the final in May 2022.
