You can Like him or hate him, but You simply can’t ignore him: - (Jose Mourinho)

Rated as one of the greatest managers of all time, Mourinho started out as a player in the 2nd Portuguese division. He studied sports in Technical University of Lisbon and attended coaching courses in Britain. In Lisbon he worked as an education teacher and had spells working as a youth team coach, a scout, and an assistant manager. In the early 1990s, he became an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting Clube de Portugal and Porto in Portugal, and Barcelona in Spain. He remained at the Catalonian club working with Robson’s successor Louis van Gaal. The journey as a coach started for the Portuguese with Porto. He was very inspirational in guiding Porto, winning the Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal, and UEFA Cup in 2003. In the next season Mourinho guided the team to victory in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, to the top of the league for a second time, and won the highest honors in European club football, the UEFA Champions League.
Jose then joined Chelsea F.C in his first interview he claimed that he was hired by the blues because he was the best because he is the “special one”, it raised some eyebrows and according to former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Jose sounded a bit cocky. As action speaks louder then word, José silenced his critics by winning back to back EPL with the Blues. His stint with Inter was again quite impressive as he guided the club to a treble win in a season. He then moved to the Los Blanco’s and further guided them to win the Spanish Premier League.
Now that he’s back in the English Premier League, we realize how much Chelsea has missed him. The Portuguese manager of Chelsea is up to his usual tricks, baiting his fellow managers and toying with journalists. Oh, and by the way, he also happens to have his Chelsea side atop the table as they enter the business end of the season. His latest barb was in pointing out how Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is a "specialist in failure" due to the Gunners’ long trophy drought. It’s a classic technique employed by the self-dubbed "Special One." If only Alex Ferguson had stuck around at Manchester United for one more season to match wits with him.
But all of the off-the-field shenanigans are just the bonus of Mourinho’s residency in West London. There’s plenty of substance behind the smarmy style. Chelsea’s recent 1-0 win over host Manchester City was a tactical master-class from Mourinho. He had City manager Manuel Pellegrini in his pocket all night long. Manchester City had been rampant at home all season, but Mourinho’s team selection put the brakes on that. What we saw that night in Manchester was nothing new José shares a special bond with his players for him his player is like his own family, he protects them and stands by them. His players will run through walls for him. Chelsea defender John Terry has defied the years with his form this season, and fading midfielder Frank Lampard recently gave a tearful testimonial to his manager at a press dinner.
He may not be everyone’s cup of tea: the purists at the Santiago Bernabeu despised his practicality, and he won’t be on the Christmas card lists of too many of his coaching peers. But ask the fans of Porto or Inter Milan if they would give back their UEFA Champions League trophies, or query the denizens of Stamford Bridge if they like the look of a potential third Premiership title under Mourinho’s stewardship. He calls himself the "Happy One" now, but he’s sure making life miserable for the other 19 Premier League sides. As we’ve come to learn, its Mourinho’s world … we just live in it.
