Following the fall of the Estado Novo regime of António de Oliveira Salazar, Mourinho’s family almost lost a property in nearby Palmela in April 1974. He wanted so badly to follow in his father’s footsteps. So much so that he dropped out of business school that his mother enrolled him in, on his first day, because he chose to focus on sports.

CAREER OF JOSE MOURINHO

Coaching career

Mourinho sought a path to professional management in his hometown after quitting his job as a school coach and became coach of the youth team at Vitória de Setúbal in the early 1990s. He later saw himself offer the position of assistant manager at Estrela da Amadora, then he was a scout at Ovarense.

In 1992 he had the opportunity to work as a translator for a top foreign coach, Bobby Robson, who had been appointed as the new manager of Lisbon club Sporting CP and needed a local English-speaking coach to work as his interpreter. . He was introduced on July 7, alongside chairman Sousa Cintra, manager Robson and Manuel Fernandes.

In his interpreter role, Mourinho began discussing tactics and coaching with Robson. Robson was, however, sacked by the club in December 1993. Mourinho moved with him, when Porto appointed him as head coach, continuing to coach and interpret for the new club’s players. Composed of players like Ljubinko Drulović, Domingos, Rui Barros, Jorge Costa and Vítor Baía, the Porto team continued to dominate Portuguese football in the following years.

Porto reached the 1993-94 UEFA Champions League semi-finals with Robson as head coach and Mourinho as assistant, and won the 1993-94 Taça de Portugal, the 1994-95 and 1995-96 Portuguese league, and the 1994, 1995 and 1996 Portuguese Super Cup, the latter with a 5–0 win over rivals Benfica, in what turned out to be Robson’s last game at Porto before moving to Barcelona.

The win earned Robson the nickname “Bobby Five-O” in Portugal. It was thanks to Robson and Mourinho’s effort to make Porto a sustainable team that the club managed to win three more consecutive championships after his departure.

The pair moved on again, after two years at Porto, joining Barcelona in 1996. Their styles complemented each other: Bobby preferred an attacking style, while Mourinho covered defensive options, and the Portuguese’s love of planning and coaching combined with direct management of Robson’s men.

The clubs’ attack was led by a first Ronaldo, whom Mourinho considers the best player after Diego Maradona. The partnership was successful as Barcelona ended the season winning the European Cup, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España. Robson changed clubs the following season but Mourinho did not follow as Barcelona were keen to retain him as assistant manager.

He began working with Louis van Gaal, Robson’s successor, and he learned a great deal from the Dutchman’s conscientious style. Mourinho and Louis combined their studious approach to the game and Barcelona won La Liga twice in Van Gaal’s first two years as coach.

Van Gaal discovered that Mourhino held promise to be more than a skilled assistant and let him develop his own independent coaching style and handed him the coaching duties of the Barcelona B team. He also let Mourinho take charge of the first team, acting as Mourinho’s assistant himself, for certain trophies, such as the Copa Catalunya, won by Mourinho in 2000.

JOSÉ MOURINHO TEAMS COACHED

Jose Mourinho Benfica

In September 2000, he finally had the chance to become a top manager when he left his position as assistant manager at Benfica to replace manager Jupp Heynckes after the fourth week of the Primeira Liga. The club’s hierarchy wanted to appoint Jesualdo Ferreira as their new assistant coach, but he refused and instead chose Carlos Mozer, a retired Benfica defender, as his right-hand man.

A few weeks after becoming manager of Benfica, Mourinho was offered the role of assistant manager at Newcastle United by his mentor, Sir Bobby Robson. However, Mourinho turned down the offer.

After Benfica’s election, where then-president João Vale e Azevedo lost, newly elected Manuel Vilarinho said he would appoint former player Toni as their new coach. Although the president had no intention of firing him immediately, Mourinho used the victory over Sporting to test his loyalty and he asked for a contract extension.

Vilarinho however refused the request and Mourinho resigned from his post immediately. On 5 December 2000, he left the club after just nine league games while still in charge.

Jose Mourinho Union of Leiria

Later in July 2001, Mourinho found a new managerial position at União de Leiria. The team was on a run contesting places as high as third and fourth during his time as manager. Mourinho has recorded eight league unbeaten matches, six wins, two draws, after a 1-1 draw against Santa Clara on January 20, 2002, since November 25, 2001.

The team were in fourth place, one point ahead of Porto, one point behind Benfica and six points behind the top of the table. His successes at Leiria did not go unrecognized as he caught the eye of Portugal’s biggest clubs.

JOSE MOURINHO PORTO

On January 23, 2002, Mourinho was selected by Porto to replace Octávio Machado. The club was at the time in fifth place in La Liga, was knocked out of the Taça de Portugal and in last place in the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League. That year, he led the team to third place after a solid 15-game streak that included 11 wins and gave the promise to ‘become Porto champions next year’.

He identified several key players he considered the backbone of what he believed to be a perfect Porto team: Vítor Baía, Ricardo Carvalho, Costinha, Deco, Dmitri Alenichev and Hélder Postiga. After a six-month loan spell at Charlton Athletic, he recalled captain Jorge Costa. His signings at other clubs included Nuno Valente and Derlei from União de Leiria, Paulo Ferreira from Vitória de Setúbal, Pedro Emanuel from Boavista, and Edgaras Jankauskas and Maniche, both out of contract at Benfica.

Mourinho won his first Primeira Liga in 2003, going 27–5–2, 11 points clear of Benfica, the team he had left two years earlier. Until the 2015–16 season Benfica won 88 points, the total of 86 points out of the possible maximum of 102 was a Portuguese record, since the rule of three points per win was introduced. He also won the Taça de Portugal, beating former club Leiria in the final, and the UEFA Cup final against Celtic, both in May 2003.

The following season saw further success as Mourinho led Porto to victory in the Portuguese Super Cup by one game, beating Leiria 1-0. They lost, however, the UEFA Super Cup 1-0 to Milan, with Andriy Shevchenko scoring the lone goal.

In the Primeira Liga, the team was dominant and finished the season with a perfect home record, an eight-point advantage and an unbeaten streak that only ended against Gil Vicente. They secured the title five weeks before the end of the season.

In May 2004, Porto lost the 2004 Taça de Portugal final to Benfica, but two weeks later Mourinho lifted the UEFA Champions League with a 3–0 win over Monaco in Germany. The club had beaten Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo de La Coruña and their only defeat in the competition came against Real Madrid in the group stage.

JOSE MOURINHO CHELSEA

Mourinho moved to Chelsea on June 2, 2004, on a three-year deal, after a £1.7million compensation package was agreed with Porto.

At Chelsea, he recruited his staff from behind the scenes at Porto, consisting of assistant manager Baltemar Brito, fitness coach Rui Faria, head scout André Villas-Boas and goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro. He did, however, retain Steve Clarke, a former longtime player at Chelsea, who had also played a management assistant type role under the club’s previous managers.

Mourinho continued where his predecessor Claudio Ranieri left off, in terms of spending, as funded by Roman Abramovich. He has spent over £70m on transfer fees for players such as Thiago with £10m from Benfica, Michael Essien with £24.4m from Lyon, Didier Drogba with £24m from Marseille , Mateja Kežman with 5.4 million pounds from PSV and Porto team Ricardo Carvalho with 19.8 million pounds and Paulo Ferreira with 13.3 million pounds. .

JOSE MOURINHO INTER MILAN

Mourinho joined Serie A club Inter Milan in 2008. He had won his first Italian honour, the Supercoppa Italiana, within the space of three months and ended the season by winning the Serie A title. Inter in 2009-10 became the first Italian club to win the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble, also the first time Inter won the latter competition since 1965.

He is among only five managers to have won the European Cup with two different teams, along with Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jupp Heynckes and Carlo Ancelotti . In 2010, he won the first-ever FIFA World Coach of the Year award.

JOSE MOURINHO REAL

He signed with Real Madrid in 2010 and won the Copa del Rey in his first season. In 2011 he won La Liga and became the fifth manager, after Tomislav Ivić, Ernst Happel, Giovanni Trapattoni and Eric Gerets, to win league titles in at least four different countries: Portugal, England, Italy and Spain.

JOSE MOURINHO RETURN TO CHELSEA

Mourinho returned to England to manage Chelsea for a second stint, having left Madrid in June 2013, in which they won another league championship, but were sacked on December 17, 2015, after a poor run of results left Chelsea just outside the relegation zone.

JOSE MOURINHO MANCHESTER UNITED

Mourinho signed a three-year contract with Manchester United on May 27, 2016, with the option of remaining at the club until at least 2020. He won his first trophy, the FA Community Shield, on August 7, 2016, beating the reigning Premier League champions Leicester City 2–1. He won his first Premier League game as United boss, winning 3-1 away to AFC Bournemouth on August 14, 2016.

The 2018-19 season got off to a slow start for United with Mourinho as manager. After playing 17 games, Man Utd had won only seven games and that left the team 19 points behind the league leaders. He was sacked by the club on December 18, 2018.

JOSE MOURINHO TROPHIES

Since arriving at Porto, his first big club, in January 2002, Jose Mourinho has won 23 trophies in 15 years with five clubs in six jobs that have taken him from Portugal to England to Italy, Spain and back to the Premier League.

MAN UTD LIMOGE JOSÉ MOURINHO

Adopted from: theguardian.com
Published: Dec 18, 2018

José Mourinho was sacked as Manchester United manager following Sunday’s 16 December defeat at Liverpool. The former head coach reportedly failed to adhere to the club’s core attacking values ​​and oversaw their worst start to the campaign for 28 years.

According to the club, he was also sacked over a transfer spend of around £400million on 11 players who, it is understood, the club insists all the Portuguese have chosen.

There is also disappointment with Mourinho’s development and the improvement of United’s young players. Fans taking on the club have also been considered, with United noting the growing dissatisfaction with the club’s management under Mourinho. It is understood that the compensation due to Mourinho will not exceed £15m.

Tuesday’s training will be overseen by Michael Carrick before an interim boss is appointed. That decision should happen before the end of the week.

That caretaker role will last until the end of the season, but it won’t be Carrick, Nicky Butt or anyone else at the club. Instead, after a thorough and thorough process, Mourinho’s permanent successor will be in place for next season.

A poor start to the Premier League season saw United slip 19 points behind leaders Liverpool and lose momentum in the hunt for a top four spot. They have won just once in six league games, drawing during that streak with struggling Southampton and Crystal Palace.

The club issued a statement on Tuesday morning which read: “Manchester United announce that manager José Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.

“The club would like to thank José for his work during his time at Manchester United and wish him every success in the future. A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club carries out a thorough recruitment process for a new full-time manager.

In two full seasons at Old Trafford, Mourinho won the Europa League and League Cup (2016-17) before finishing second in the Premier League last season and reaching the FA Cup final. In this period since replacing Louis van Gaal, United have spent £364.3million on eight purchases.
