His start as the first coach
Benfica, Uniao Leiria and Porto
Benfica was the first team Mourinho coached as head coach, replacing Jupp Heynckes. It was the 2000-01 season and he left Barcelona. He lasted only 5 games in the league, as a change in the leadership of the Lisbon club led to his departure.

Chelsea glory and failure
Two Premiers, drowned in Europe
Mourinho left Porto to go to the Premier and specifically to a Chelsea in the hands of Roman Abramovich and where he was between 2004 and 2007.

If I go through Real Madrid
Disappointed with Guardiola’s Barcelona
