He has worked with some of the world’s best players, some of which came to him as not-yet household names looking to make a name for themselves.

Mourinho made a beeline for his compatriot’s signature in 2008 when he was in charge of Serie A giants Inter Milan. Signed for €18.6m with a big reputation, he was expected to be a huge hit in Milan, but instead for the most part claimed to feel isolated and unwanted. He picked up the 2008 Bidone d’Oro, which is an annual award given to Italy’s worst player. Now 31, he’s back at Porto following short stints with Chelsea, Besiktas and Al Ahil.
