I'm sorry I'm a bit arrogant we have a top manager again don't please don't call me arrogant because what I'm saying is true I'm European Champion so I'm not one of of the bottle I must I think I'm a special one he is the biggest ego amongst football managers but he's also a man who couldn't hold back the tears on live television after his dog passed away you either love him or hate him he Jose Mourinho seems to have always been a one-man Army against the world today we will explore the complete story of one of football's most incredible characters Jose mourinho's love for the game started well before he was even born his father Felix Mourinho dedicated his life to football but is a goalkeeper he played for Victoria this suitable and balnish almost reaching 300 games in his professional career Felix who was once capped by Portugal started his coaching career while he was still playing at bonish mourinho's dad was a Top Flight manager in Portugal and Jose soon learned just how cruel football can be before joining a first division Club he managed to promote two teams first he took Amore to the top category and then he joined hiroth and did the same thing but despite his achievements hewoff fired Jose's dad and left a scarf for his young boy I was 9 or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day Joseph they learned one of football and life's most painful lessons that day one day you're the happy son of a coach Skipper and the next day you find your dad crying on Christmas day but far from frightening him these events gave strength to Mourinho Jr he wanted to follow in his old man's footsteps and they followed the same path for quite some time just like Felix Jose joined bolnation also played in heel off too after a few years with no explosion in his career he decided to step aside and become a football coach but he was still so young why on Earth quit so soon he realized he didn't have what it takes he understood that he lacked the proper pace and power to be a top player so he decided instead to be a top manager looking back this was his first good call as a coach after quitting business school on the first day he started studying Sports Science even though the Mourinho we all know isn't a particularly humble man he knew that his career would have to take baby steps at the beginning he would take any job possible at a football club from assistant to scout until he finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for just not how he had expected it Bobby Robson had to joined Sporting Lisbon but couldn't speak the language he needed someone beside him who understood football and could also translate what his players were saying behind his back so Josie accepted an unexpected job he joined Robson as his translator it was a win-win situation for Mourinho he got to work alongside a top-class manager and in a big Club too that's when Mourinho started talking and learning about football and tactics Robson soon moved over to Port A and Jose went with him it is true that mourinho's job was being the coach's translator but soon he got himself a promotion Robson was totally surprised by mourinho's tactical analysis as Robson said he'd come back and hand me a dossier that was absolutely first class I mean first class as good as anything I've ever received here he was in his early 30s never been a player never been a coach to speak of either giving me reports as good as anything I ever got Mourinho quickly got confident with Bobby and became the manager's assistant they won two Portuguese championships three super cups one Portuguese cup and they reached the Champions League semi-finals after two successful years in 1996 they said goodbye to Porto and greeted a team that believe it or not would fall in love with the duo suddenly Mourinho was working at FC Barcelona but Barcelona had no need for Mourinho they wanted to push him out of the staff but Robson insisted the journalists from the time believed the roles of assistant coach and translator were incompatible although soon enough they discovered that instead of translating Robson verbatim Mourinho would start answering with his own tactical and football views and in case you're either a centennial or hadn't been a football fan back then there's more when the Robson Mourinho Jewel was coaching the catalans one of the stars of the team was Pep Guardiola now if you know anything about Mourinho you know that this relationship with pep wasn't the best one but during his time in Barcelona that rivalry wasn't there just yet before their big fights over football's main stage Mourinho and Guardiola Believe It or Not were pretty close after one season under Robson Barcelona sacked him and called in Louis van Gaal this time Mourinho stayed at Barcelona and helped the new coach do the opponent's analysis but Jose was meant for for more being an assistant just wasn't enough for him that's why he got his first call as head coach in 2000 sitting in benfica's big chair it was the perfect time to shine on his own but that didn't last long when a new Benfica president arrived and Mourinho wasn't part of his plans and he said goodbye to the big chance after only nine games at the helm I mean he said he knows everything about football's ups and downs and he was right after a year with no Club in sight he got a head coach position at humble area and got a pretty decent fifth position before the winter recess half a season was enough to properly relaunch his career his scintillating form was so good that it caught the eye of another Portuguese giant he got the call to be the new Porto head coach in the dawn of 2002. now the club was going through a tough time far from any big European qualifications and Mourinho changed it all he would only lose two games that year guiding Porto to third place in the league and laying down the foundations for his second season where he would win well everything in 2003 he won the domestic League the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Europa League his first ever travel Porto became Portugal's strongest team internationally as no other since the 80s but a mastermind like Mourinho doesn't stop there being a top manager means going for the top prize foreign and in 2004 he made sure that the world really got to know him by winning the Champions League he would overcome deportivo de la caronia Leon Manchester United and Monaco he became Eternal although beating Monaco's 3-0 in the final might be considered the most epic moment of the tournament but that wasn't it in their tie against Manchester United after a heated confrontation with the legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson Porto scored and he celebrated in a very particular way Old Trafford in the entire world watched Jose running down the touchline to celebrate with his players that's the moment when Mourinho properly announced himself to the world this move was not only remembered by all football fans but it was also announcing mourinho's next move after winning every single title on offer Jose had already conquered Portugal and it was time to go overseas his four-year contract with Porto was up so his next move was in store a move to London signing with Chelsea Football Club in the process Jose became the first ever Portuguese manager to Grace the Premier League and boy did he arrive in style [Music] with his very first press conference becoming one of the most iconic in football history I'm sorry I'm a bit arrogant we have a top manager again don't please don't call me arrogant because what I'm saying is true I'm European Champion so I'm not one of of the bottle I must I think I'm a special one arrogant yeah possibly special one absolutely zero doubt about it you are and always have been special Jose Mourinho had become the special one but now had a reputation to live up to after his incredible achievements with Porto he started proving his coaching quality in his first season in London emerging victorious in the League Cup after an epic 3-2 Victory against Liverpool and this is where the English media properly caught a glimpse of the special one's unique character as he put his finger to his mouth looking straight at the Liverpool fans during that game when Liverpool were leading the fans at anfield started to chant against him and clearly they didn't know who they were dealing with mourinho's performances in the Champions League also proved that he was special during the quarterfinal match against Bayern Munich Mourinho was prohibited from being in the stadium the Portuguese manager had earned a ban from the stadium after some indiscretions in the previous fixture against Barcelona he snuck into the Chelsea dressing room seven hours before kickoff this guy really is a piece of of work and if you were surprised by that check this out after the team talk he left the stadium in a laundry basket unbelievable stuff classic Jose Mourinho after beating Bayern Liverpool fans did get their Revenge with Mourinho as they beat Chelsea in the 2005 Champions League semi-finals with a very questionable goal from Luis Garcia mourinho's team were eliminated from Europe but the sadness didn't last long he then LED his team to win the Top Flight domestic title that was denied from the blues for half a century the English Premier League after over 50 years mourinho's Chelsea lifted the trophy with a team full of stars like drogenba essien Lampard Duff but a major part of their success was down to their defense the likes of John Terry William Gallas Ferreira and Carvalho leding just 15 goals in that Premier League season a record that still stands to this day Chelsea couldn't have been any happier with their new manager the London side started The Following season with another trophy as Mourinho Squad defeated Arsenal and won the community Shield this special one had taken England by assault his second season in London brought another first place in the Premier League meaning his fourth consecutive domestic title in a row he lifted the Premier League trophy after beating the mighty Manchester United's three nil the special one celebrated in a special way he threw his Blazer and his medals to the crowd that's what being part of this club meant to him at least in mourinho's mind as if back-to-back Premier League titles weren't enough he also won The League Cup and the FA Cup beating Arsenal and Manchester United respectively he was the King of England everything was going perfectly for the Portuguese tactician he had won every single domestic title again he even won himself some days in jail sorry could you speak into my good ear wait what now that might sound weird but Mourinho did in fact spend some time at the police department due to his dog of all things when Mourinho and his family arrived from Portugal his pet was supposed to stay in quarantine until its vaccination was fully checked supposedly the dog was believed to have been brought to the UK from Portugal without the proper vaccination prompting officials to consider putting it in quarantine the dog was so small so fragile the kids were very small they were in love with the dog the police tried to get into the house to take the dog into quarantine I grabbed it and put it in a backpack I jumped out the window without them seeing me and took her to a friend's house he was arrested for obstruction after failing to hand his Yorkshire Terrier to the authorities eventually he got to call his lawyer to clear everything up and he was properly released only to find out that even Chelsea fans had launched a campaign to the free the dock now that's what you call a family but families can hurt you as well with his third season starting an unexpected event happened by Mutual consent Jose says goodbye to Chelsea the decision was made she also looked forward I look forward they move on I move on I keep winning important things they keep winning something they wanna they wanna they wanna have an FA Cup Mutual consent is a way of saying a lot of disagreements between the Portuguese manager and the chairman Roman Abramovich who reported so mourinho's next steps in football would be Barcelona wait what yes before moving to Italy Mourinho had his eyes set on a glorious return to basa so was the Barcelona board keen on signing a former man of the house The Story Goes that Mourinho had a meeting with the board that lasted several hours in it he presented his analysis of the squad the strengths the weaknesses who needed to stay who needed to go the ball was said to have been impressed and convinced but the rest is not clear Mourinho himself said it was him who rejected the job and that maybe one day he'll explain the situation in detail another version of this story says that when things were going to be final one person single-handedly tore it all down none other than Johann Cruyff who allegedly told the board that the Portuguese coach wasn't the right guy for the job and that they would do much better with an inexperienced Pep Guardiola at the Helm of the blaugrana now this is how a super villain was born laughs Mourinho was hurt and he would have his revenge the special one took his personality and experience to enter Squad in his first season he won the Italian super cup and like usual the Top Flight Italian trophy the scodetto although despite his domestic achievements interfans were not in love with Mourinho because of the team's sour performance in the Champions League after witnessing their City Rivals AC Milan win five UCL trophies in less than 20 years the intertifossi demanded International success right away but things just needed some time in his second season the Club Legends Adriano Cruz and Crespo said goodbye and instead of regretting this Mourinho saw it as the perfect chance to truly build a team of his own choosing he shopped the market while signing Diego Milito Schneider Thiago Mota and Samuel oletto in one of their biggest gambles ever the cameroonian arrived at San Siro in exchange for the Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was inta's biggest star at the time it's funny now because you could say that everyone was working against Pep Guardiola even pep himself etzo was a the missing link that this strong team needed and with him inter won everything and we mean literally everything as they achieved their first treble they won their serial beating Lazio and the copper Italia leaving Roman behind in the final but again the fans were still reluctant to praise Mourinho until seeing how the team performed in the Champions League final stages and yep you guessed it inter became Kings of Europe as well after beating by Antonio in the final the Italian lifted the trophy they desired for almost six decades and Mourinho re-encountered the title he loves the most the UEFA Champions League as it happened during his first UCL title winning campaign the final wasn't mourinho's most important moment of that Champions League Triumph in the semi-finals he faced Barcelona led by Pep Guardiola and with Messi in his prime Mourinho was still outraged for the controversial 2006 knockout stage against the catalans when the Argentine allegedly exaggerated the fouls he received and Barcelona eventually progressed against Chelsea the Barcelona team considered by many as the best team of all time got quite surprised by mourinho's strategies a 3-1 victory in the first leg and a one-nil defeat in the second game put inter in the finals and Mourinho proceeded to go crazy running around the camp now an epic win and an even more epic celebration while interfans were still chanting his name for the Champions League title he was sadly saying goodbye to them sad is almost for sure it's my last game with Intel that's what Mourinho said shortly after conquering Europe once again although his sadness may have gone away when he signed with Real Madrid for a world record compensation fee Jose was brought to Real Madrid with one mission to stop Barcelona since Guardiola took the job the kulas became the PowerHouse of world football in his first classical Real Madrid were hammered five nil 5 to nothing for Florentino Perez Real Madrid's president this match was the worst game ever played by the whites while Mourinho called it the biggest defeat of his career but despite losing Jose always had a thing or two to say about Guardiola claiming he'd be ashamed aim to win a UCL trophy the way pep did back in 2009 champions Bridge is and in 2011 El Clasico would become the biggest game in the world Barcelona and Real Madrid embarked on an unprecedented period in their rivalry playing four classicos in just 18 days one La Liga match up one Copa del Rey final and two legs in the Champions League semi-final Madrid V Barcelona Ronaldo V Messi Mourinho the pep it was as if football had turned into the NBA Playoffs Guardiola was the travel winner of 2009 Mourinho was the king of 2010. the La Liga match was a battle draw but it set up Barcelona for the domestic title while the European semis went to Messi and the catalans who would lift the trophy in the end Real Madrid's consolation was winning the Copa del Rey final but in Madrid things weren't going as great as his previous teams he had always been controversial since day one but his public Behavior was a little off during his time in Madrid when you think about the time that he poked Tito Villanova's eye in the 2 2011 Spanish super Cup Final you could say that his behavior was more than just a little off he had always been known for not being soft with his rivals or his own players he was even reported to make Mesut Ozil leave his girlfriend reports indicated that mezu was skipping training and the Portuguese coach was annoyed at him and said hey Ozil idiot let me tell you something as if I were your father because this girl you're going out with has slept with everyone at inter and AC Milan including the coaching staff of both teams after hearing this Ozil ended the relationship and we couldn't leave out the time that he sarcastically compared one of his players with zidane and Maradona [Music] needless to say the Pedro Leon left Madrid shortly afterwards and Mourinho would soon follow his three spell at Real Madrid was filled with incidents on and off the field we all know Mourinho he truly honors his nickname in every possible way he is the special one and the most bizarre incident as Los Blancos coach happened in 2012 and at the camp now Real Madrid had just lost 4-3 on aggregate against their biggest Rivals Barcelona it was a heated Classico as was every single game between the Spanish Giants in that era but the biggest incident came after the final whistle was blown Mourinho gave one of his peculiar press conferences talking about the referee Pep Guardiola and all that kind of stuff that he used to say when he lost and everyone thought he'd leave the stadium afterwards but instead the special one went straight to the referee's car park and waited for him to show up when the ref Fernando teixeiro went to his car Mourinho confronted him three actions during the game what an artist you are how you like to screw up professionals Maria shouted visibly furious with the referee Mourinho spokesman didn't only confirm this version but also added that the Portuguese told to Sherlock he was outraged and luckily things didn't go physical to be fair with Mourinho the referee had a few controversial decisions that game all of them against Real Madrid Barcelona had won 2-1 the first leg and had a two-year lead in the second game but before Pep Squad scored the referee didn't give Madrid a penalty and then didn't Grant Sergio Ramos a legal goal that would have put them back on track Los moringas went on to tie the second leg and were just one goal away from an epic comeback but the referee didn't allow them to execute the last free-kick as he instead chose to inadvertently call full time mourinho's angle was totally understandable but mourinho's house remaster class at Real Madrid didn't start by confronting referees at the car park no sir the special one had already made headlines for his unique management style who could forget the time when he told two of the Los Blanca stars to get sent off let me explain because I already see many of you getting really confused just hearing this so Real Madrid's smashed ix4 nil in the Champions League group stage penultimate game this result essentially made their last match against Jose a total dead rubber game as Los morenes would have already secured their first place ticket to the round of 16.
now as you know the champions league rules indicate that a player carries these yellow cards to the following stages so many coaches advise their own footballers to get booked before a dead rubber game so they can have their slate wiped clean for the last 16 but again Josie Mourinho isn't like other coaches he took this sneaky yet clever strategy a bit too far two of his players shabby Alonso and Sergio Ramos had already picked up a yellow card in the game against iax they were just one more yellow card away from missing a game so getting booked against Ozil would mean losing them for the first leg of the last 16. what came next was as genius as it was outrageous this special one spoke to shabby Alonso and told the substitute goalkeeper shushi Dudek to run towards Ika Casillas and then ask the message to Sergio Ramos the plan was simple get booked again and therefore sent off to not carry the booking into the next round but the Real Madrid stars were not as discreet as they should have been because their plan was so obvious that everyone saw it in added time and winning by four goals shabby Alonso and Sergio Ramos got sent off for time wasting the defender even shook the referee's hand when leaving the field almost as if he was thanking him for showing a second yellow card UEFA proceeded to investigate the matter and logically found all of them guilty oh no what what happened or not how terrible that's just that's just awful how terrible oh no imposing a financial sanction to all of the players involved players shabby Alonso and Sergio Ramos were fine 20 000 Euro each Iko Casillas was fined 10 000 Euros and Joshi durek was fined five thousand dollars the red cards given to Alonso and Ramos stand and they have therefore been suspended for one UEFA Club competition match the controller disciplinary body has decided to fire Real Madrid a hundred and twenty thousand Euros still it was a pretty good deal for Real Madrid and especially for Mourinho the coach was suspended as well but he had his Stars ready and without bookings for the round of 16. having joined Los Blancos after winning the Champions League at inside the expectation in the Spanish Capital regarding Mourinho were pretty high so after three seasons in which he won La Liga the Copa del Rey and the Spanish cup but without an international success the Portuguese coach left Madrid however Mourinho got a different Victory out of this he essentially dragged Guardiola to the mud he lowered the Catalan to his Turf una Champions Pep's reply was one for the books foreign [Music] like that again and shortly after their Jewels were over the club Legend left Barcelona Mourinho had done what he was brought in to do all along to destroy Barcelona foreign well you're certainly doing your job today MrSun oh rats London was calling once again more specifically the blue side of London in 2013 six years after his departure Jose returned to Chelsea he was wiser but hadn't lowered an inch of his unique and controversial personality and he was soon enough involved in public fights with his Rivals once more during his tormentous Titleist first season since his return Mourinho failed to take Chelsea to the next level but he did successfully go viral after telling a ball boy that someday the kid would get punched he's out of line but he's right it all went down in Chelsea's one-nil defeat against Crystal Palace the youngster was slowly giving the ball back to Cesar as pelicueta when the blues clearly needed to speed up their attacks in pursuing an equalizer Mourinho couldn't stand this any longer and was seen Whispering something to the boy controversial as usual the special one didn't deny the incident in the post-game press conference I thought caesarez pilicueto was going to lose emotional control I had the chance to get to the kid and I told him you do this one day and somebody punches you we saw what happened with edin Mourinho was of course referring to hazard's incident one year before where he kicked a ball boy at Swansea for similar reasons poor Eden he had nothing to do with at this time but the special one spares no man the Mourinho escaped the fa with no sanction so he was feeling pretty Untouchable and if you thought that that was the last problematic Mourinho episode of Chelsea you couldn't be more wrong 2014 was also the year in which Mourinho and arsene Wenger almost got into a fistfight in arguably one of the most bizarre and the same time expected confrontations the Portuguese and the French coach clashed on the touchline it all happened during the Derby at Stamford Bridge after Mourinho called his colleague a specialist in failure for not having brought silverware to the Emirates in eight years you know he is a specialist in Finland I'm not visibly outraged through the entire game which Chelsea won by the way Wenger lost his usual sportsmanship for a second and shoved the Chelsea boss who retaliated in return the coaches had to be separated and the match was temporarily stopped although I can't help but wonder who would have prevailed in a hypothetical fistfight between the two in any case that was pretty much it for mourinho's first year back at London but in his second season even though the Blues won The League Cup and the Premier League his outrageous personality continued to dominate headlights although this time it wasn't Jose who threw the first punch Rafa Benitez as his wife monster at Serra said that her husband had to clean up after mourinho's Real Madrid of the third of Jose mourinho's own team's Ruther has coached we tidy up his messes did this woman even know who she was poking it was partially true that Benitez had replaced Mourinho at Chelsea inter and Real Madrid however there were other managers in between Rafa and Jose but still don't mess with the special one or healed by it back Mourinho who had a better rival with Benitez since the Spaniard was Liverpool's manager when the Reds knocked Chelsea out of the UCL semis twice trashed the woman and seized the opportunity to mess with his colleague the lady is a bit confused her husband went to Chelsea to replace Roberto di Mateo and he went to Real Madrid and replaced Carlo and chalati the only Club where her husband replaced me was her Inter Milan where in six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time so far so good he made a fair point although he also proceeded to hit Rafa unnecessarily and speaking of unnecessary criticism the former Real Madrid manager then poked funded his colleague's physical appearance as a way to hit back at his wife as well and for her also to think about me and to speak about me I think the lady needs to occupy her time and if she takes care of her husband's diet she will have less time to speak about me not too classy for Mourinho to speak about rapha's weight especially after the Chelsea fans trolled the Spaniard for the same reason the controversies aside Chelsea's Premier League titles seemed to be the first step of another Golden Era for Mourinho in the Blues but in the dawn of the 2015-16 Season an unexpected incident would make Stamford Bridge tremble during the Premier League's first game of the campaign Mourinho publicly criticized Chelsea's physio Eva canara during the two-wall draw against Swansea the blues were already down to 10 men following Tebow courtois red card when Eden Hazard felt a physical problem and threw himself to the ground kanero instantly went to check on Hazard which infuriated Mourinho foreign [Applause] in the post-match press conference I wasn't happy with my medical staff if you are a medical doctor on the bench you have to understand the game if you go to the pitch to assist the player then you must be sure that a player has a serious problem I was sure that Eden didn't have a serious problem he had a knock and was very tired my medical Department left me with eight fit Outfield players in a counter-attack after a set piece and we were worried we didn't have enough players left the coach prevented kanira from attending matches and even training sessions after the incident and even though the players publicly backed Eva she chose to leave the club six weeks after mourinho's press conference and took the matter to court meanwhile Mourinho released a statement in which he admitted to have insulted The Woman by calling her the daughter of a in his language philodipta is a phrase I often use all of the players know it there is no sexist connotation in the use of the phrase it's just like saying F off in the world of football a lot of swear words are used Chelsea offered kanira a 1.
5 million dollar settlement deal which was rejected it was eventually settled out of court one year after the Swansea match but neither were at the club by then as Jose left Chelsea in December of 2015.
