In 2002, José Mourinho hired a 24 year old guy to be a part of his technical team. He stayed with Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, until 2009.

Fast forward 15 years, and Andre Villas Boas has just become Porto president, dethroning the previous 42 year presidency.

Erik Ten Hag: 'Next season we're competing for top 4.'

So adding Ten Hag and Ole, we will be going into the 6th consecutive season of Manchester United pointlessly 'competing for top 4'.

Man United hasn't had a desire to win since December 2018 and that's just embarrassing.

10 years ago today.

The following season, José Mourinho would lead Chelsea back to the Premier League title for the first time in 5 years.

Around this time in 2012, one of the greatest Real Madrid teams ever missed out on the Champions League final on penalties.

José Mourinho: 'That night is the only time in my career that I've cried after a defeat. We were the best team in Europe, we won La Liga smashing all…

José Mourinho: 'My friends, my family, even my agent told me to leave after last year’s Europa League final. But I felt the momentum of the club, from an emotional point of view, and I continued to work in Rome.”

“And so I refused the opportunity to coach the Portuguese national…

People haven't realised yet how badly we need a PSG vs Real Madrid final.

It might be the game of the decade.

Pep's teams beat Mourinho's Real Madrid 5-0 and Ancelotti's Real Madrid 4-0.

Mourinho then won La Liga at the Camp Nou and made Pep quit Spanish football. Ancelotti knocked Pep out of the UCL 3 times.

Pep won a few fancy battles but he lost both wars to football's Godfathers.

This is football heritage.

José Mourinho called this Xabi Alonso rise 4 years before he even became a coach.

Xabi really did learn from the best.

José Mourinho: 'Sometimes when you leave a club, you feel the need to rest and process things. In this case, one day after I left Roma I was ready to go again.'

The Chelsea fans asking for José Mourinho, a few days ago.

To the portion of football fans that doesn't yet know about Rúben Amorim:

Today, Sporting beat rivals Benfica again and practically clinched the League title, on course to potentially breaking the League's points record (91) and also in the Cup final.

In 2020, Sporting were on…

Having these 2 defeats against the same manager is insane.

Having these 2 defeats against Pochetino should be unimaginable.

Cole Palmer:

Life long Chelsea fan Alf Wells turned 100 years old.

And he got a special message from his favorite manager💙

José Mourinho left Roma after the toughest stretch of games of the season, 5 points away from top 4.

10 games later, Roma had the easiest stretch of games in the season (faced only 1 of the top 8 teams). They are 5 points away from top 4.

Remember what he said at the beginning?

Materazzi: 'Mourinho is the best coach I've ever had. I was used to being important. When Mourinho came in I became less important, but he was always honest with me.'

'We cried when he left. If he had stayed we could have continued to win trophies.'

Last season, when Roma and Sporting were in UEL...

Journalist: 'The English media call you the new Mourinho.'

Rúben Amorim: 'There will never be another Mourinho, he's unique. He has already texted me, he said that the old one and the new one are through to the next stage.'
