José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH (European Portuguese: ⓘ; born 26 January 1963) is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is currently the head coach of Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe. He is one of the most decorated managers of all time and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time. Mourinho has won league championships in four different countries, is one of only six managers to have won the European Cup with two different clubs, and is the only manager to have won all three current UEFA club competitions.
After an uneventful career as a midfielder in the Portuguese leagues, Mourinho finished playing at age 24 and moved into coaching. He was first an interpreter for Bobby Robson at Sporting CP and FC Porto, before gaining success as an assistant at Barcelona under Robson and then his successor, Louis van Gaal. After brief stints as manager at Benfica and União de Leiria, Mourinho returned to Porto in 2002, winning two Primeira Liga titles, the Taça de Portugal, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. That success earned him a move to England with Chelsea in 2004, where he famously remarked "I think I'm a special one" at his first press conference, which lead to the British media dubbing him "The Special One". With Chelsea, Mourinho won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups in three seasons, before he departed in 2007 amid reports of disagreements with owner Roman Abramovich.
In 2008, Mourinho joined Italian club Inter Milan. He led them to the Serie A title in his first season before winning a continental treble of Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League in 2010, a first in history for an Italian club. This made him one of five coaches to have won the European Cup with two different clubs, and later that year saw him crowned the inaugural FIFA World Coach of the Year. Mourinho then moved to Real Madrid in Spain, where he won the La Liga title in 2011–12, breaking numerous domestic records including for most points, goals and wins in a season, and becoming the fifth coach to win league titles in four different countries. Mourinho left Real Madrid in 2013 and rejoined Chelsea, where he won another league title and League Cup, but was dismissed in 2015 after a poor run of results. Remaining in England, he was appointed at Manchester United in 2016 and Tottenham Hotspur in 2019, but his tenures at both clubs ended acrimoniously. Despite this, Mourinho won the UEFA Europa League, League Cup and FA Community Shield with Manchester United, and led Tottenham to the final of the League Cup, where he was fired less than a week before it. He was soon hired by Roma and in his first season won the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League, making him the first manager to win a major European competition with four different clubs and the third manager to win the three main UEFA club competitions.
Mourinho was named Portuguese Coach of the Century by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) in 2015. Due to his tactical knowledge, charismatic and controversial personality, and a reputation for prioritising results over attractive football, he has drawn comparisons, by both admirers and critics, with Argentine manager Helenio Herrera.
