Mourinho led Portuguese club Porto to the Champions League crown in 2004 before quitting to join Chelsea.

The London club also won two League Cups and the FA Cup and were twice narrowly beaten in the Champions League semi-final.
Mourinho may have had the backing of Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich but previous Chelsea managers like Gianluca Vialli and Claudio Ranieri had also spent millions without achieving great success.
