José Mourinho. Biography
José Mourinho is a Portuguese football coach who now coaches Chelsea. According to numerous pundits, footballers and coaches, he is one of the greatest coaches in modern football.
José began his football career as a player but due to various circumstances he chose the position of a coach. Mourinho began as an assistant coach in Benfica. He also worked in Sporting and Porto and afterwards – in Barcelona.
In 2000, he was appointed head coach of Benfica. In 3 months he joined Leiria to lead the team to the 5th place in Primeira Liga. In 2002, he signed a 3-year contract with Porto and won the national championship, Taça de Portugal and the UEFA Cup in his first year. And in the next season Mourinho also won the UEFA Champions League.
2004 was remarkable for Chelsea FC due to signing of a new coach and in almost 3 years of work he won the Premier League twice and the Football League Cup complemented by the English FA Cup which became the team’s first in 50 years.
In the middle of 2008, Mourinho joined FC Internazionale and led the club to victory in Serie A in his first season and next year he won the first ever ‘treble’ for the Italian football with the Italian championship, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. This victory was the first one for the club in last 45 years and Mourinho became the third coach ever to win two UEFA Champions League titles with two different teams. In 2010, Mourinho became FIFA World Coach of the Year.
In 2010, he was appointed head coach of Real Madrid CF. In his first managerial year they won Copa del Rey – the first one in 18 years. And it was coaching Real Madrid that made him the first coach to be in the UEFA Champions League semifinals with 4 different teams.
However, his stay in Madrid was not a smooth one and after three seasons with the Meringues Mourinho made a stunning return to Chelsea.
Sports betting specialists add confirmation of the Special One’s ability, favouring Chelsea to add another Barclay’s Premier League title to their trophy cabinet on his return to Stamford Bridge, and fans will certainly hope he can repeat his back to back title wins.
Jose Mourinho’s return to Chelsea has so far been an optimistic one and the plaudits have very much been with the Portuguese’s defensive work which has led to Chelsea’s conceding few goals in their opening games in the Premier League. The manager also strengthened the attacking midfield and forward line.
