Renowned for his tactical prowess, he has won 25 senior trophies during his time in charge of FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea (over two spells), Real Madrid and Manchester United.

He studied sports science at the Technical University of Lisbon. In the early 1990s, he became an interpreter working under Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto and Barcelona. During their time together, José's coaching responsibilities increasingly grew and he remained at the Catalonian club under Robson's successor, Louis van Gaal. José Mourinho eventually became a head coach at Benfica and União de Leiria. But It was at FC Porto where he caught global attention, winning the UEFA Champions League in 2004 by defeating Monaco 3-0 in the final. José then joined Chelsea and during the 2004/05 Season guided Chelsea to their first league title in 50 years, winning with a record 95 points at the time. In 2008, Mourinho moved to Serie A club, Internazionale. In 2009/10, he helped guide Inter Milan to become the first Italian club to win the treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. He won the first ever FIFA 'World Coach of the Year' award in 2010 and joined Real Madrid, winning the 'Copa del Rey' in his first season. The following year he won 'La Liga'. After leaving Real Madrid in June 2013, Mourinho returned to England to manage Chelsea for a second spell, during which they won another Premier League title. On 27th May 2016, José joined Manchester United where he guided them to winning the Europa League as well as the League Cup.
