When Jose Mourinho announced again in 2005 that he was ‘special’, the world’s media had a day on the ground.

The Portuguese were joining Chelsea After taking Porto all the way to a Champions League title, and fortunately for blues, he had Naus to support Swagger.

Here he was a man who, before staying in management, was seemingly known as Bobby Robson’s translator at Sporting, Porto and BarcelonaAnd yet he was confident in his ability to maintain even stronger influence of football personalities.

Mourinho was ‘boss’ in Chelsea

John Terry It was just one of the many players who admitted that he would run through a brick wall for the man from Setubal.

“He 100 percent changed the way I thought about football. At his first session, loved ones came in and we thought:” Wow, this is a proper session “” The former chelsea captain once said in an interview.

“It was a pre-season, and the first thing he said was to draw the balls. And for our generation, it was unheard of bringing football in the first pre-season session.

“He said you never see a pianist running around a piano, you see a pianist working on the piano. But we probably covered more distance with the ball than we would have done without it! Psychologically, he had us.

“The intensity, his presence, you have felt it. If anyone was confused in heat, or by kicking the ball when he spoke, he would say,” When I speak, the ball still listens to me. “He was the boss.”

A triple -winning historic season at Inter Milan was the precursor of his time in Madrid trueAnd though there was still little doubt that Mourinho was one of the brightest and most honorable coaches of his era, the controversy always followed the Portuguese.

Actions to come in the shadow of mourinho’s brightness

Probably the two worst examples of this included Barcelona, ​​a club that decided not to hire him as first team manager and instead installed Pep Guardiola in position.

Chairman of the UEFA Judges’ Committee, Volker Roth Mark Mourinho “Football Enemy” In 2005, the Portuguese greatly criticized the treatment of Anders Frisk of a Chelsea VS Barca match, leading to the retirement of Frisk from the game after receiving death threats from Blues fans.

In 2011, during a clash in the second part of the Spanish Super Cup final, TV cameras would take Mourinho walking up to the then manager of Barca, Tito Vilanova and poking in the eyes. It was a terrible image radiated all over the world, and Mourinho would later apologize and admit that he was because he did not like to lose.

“I was the one in the wrong. He said.

“I was a victim of myself. If I could, that would be one of the things I would never repeat.

Since his time in Santiago Bernabeu, Mourinho had magic in Chelsea (again), Manchester UnitedTottenham Hotspur, novel And, currently, Fenerbahcewhere he again judged the controversy.

During the last match against arch rivals, GalatasarayHe sparked another clash after grabbing his nose of his opposite number, Okan Buruk, an act that has lowered a three -match stop and a fine of about £ 6,000.

Despite his extraordinary managerial CV, there has not been much to write in a late home, which raises the question of whether the so-called ‘special’ is still … well … special.

In terms of the percentage of victory, Mourinho’s shares have been in waves for a while. Since 2014/15 in Chelsea, where he won 66.7% of his matches at the helm, things were going to the precipice.

A good enough percentage of profit since 2014/15?

A 36% miserable (his worst) in the following campaign saw him leave Stamford Bridge for the second time, though his first two seasons in Man United in terms of winning (57.8% and 66.1%) were quite good.

41.7% in his third campaign at Old Trafford saw a transfer to Tottenham, where 45.7% and 52.1% were just a marginal improvement of his last season at the Dream Theater.

Serie A called, and 50.9%, 47.3% and 46.4% in three seasons in Roma without another slight decrease, although his 63.4% victory percentage in Fenerbahce has finally seen things return to a high direction.

Indeed, his 26 victories from 41 games set only two victories away from his third best campaign over the last 10 years for the number of victories.

His first two seasons in United saw 37 wins, followed by 36 wins from 54 games during his second Chelsea reign (14/15).

27 wins in the 21/22 season with Rome is Mourinho’s third best return over the last decade, but it will fall on the other hand if two games from the last seven in the league are won this season.

Goals win games, and Mourinho needs more in Fenerbahce

Regarding the goals scored under Mourinho in the same time frame, his teams have reached over 100 per season in just three cases: Chelsea on 14/15 (109), and, perhaps surprisingly some, Man United in both 2016/17 and 2017/18 (105 and 101 goals, respectively).

91 so far in Fenerbahce (74 in the Super Lig Turkish) is the fifth best production of a Mourinho team over the past 10 seasons, and only one in front of 90 Roma listed in 2021/22.

The 62-year-old has always boasted of the strength of his defenses, and the Turkish giants have only accepted 43 so far this season. However, this is already more than four of the last 10 campaigns, and just a few shy of the next three seasons.

That is to say, a positive aspect of his current employment is a point for play. With 2.1 being the current standard, this is at the same time as the 17/18 season of United and only after the 14/15 campaign of Chelsea when the metric was at 2.3.

Only five losses so far in 2024/25 places it a shy of all four of the 14/15, and a wide improvement in the 16 losses during 22/23 with Rome.

Even if one can argue that the Super League Turkish cannot be classified as one of the first five in Europe, Mourinho has yet taken it as a duck in the water.

His Fenerbahce side remains only six points behind Galatasaray (with a game in hand), which also has the semifinal cup to worry about their commitments in the league.

It is self -evident that Mourinho’s influence on almost every aspect on the club he resides is still intact, and even if the light does not shine as much for him as he did a decade or before, there is definitely something special there.
