Mourinho is the self-titled 'Special One', from his days at Chelsea, and his rise from being a mere translator to managing one of the richest clubs in the world was nothing short of meteoric.
Having left the Stamford Bridge club in 2007, the Portuguese boss moved to Italy and took charge of one of the best clubs in Serie A - Inter Milan - where he continued to impress, despite gaining a whole new set of detractors.
No stranger to controversy, Mourinho never played professionally (although his father Felix had represented the Portuguese national team as a goalkeeper); and instead, from a relatively young age, focused his sights on a coaching career.
