As Jose Mourinho starts his reign at Manchester United, let's take a look at the impressive CV of the 'The Special One' at the different clubs he has managed till date
Jose Mourinho is coming to Old Trafford as the new manager of English Premier League giants Manchester United as a replacement for Dutchman Louis van Gaal.
The Red Devils hired the self-styled 'Special One' after the EPL club finished fifth in the league under Van Gaal and thus failed to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Manchester United on Friday anointed Jose Mourinho as their new manager to launch a third bid in less than three years to transform the Red Devils into a title-winning force again. After three days of talks, Mourinho agreed a three-year contract on a bumper salary reportedly worth more than $20 million (19.5 million euros) a year. Pic/AFP
He will be thus under pressure to deliver in his first season at the club especially after the example of Van Gaal, who was dismissed only two days after his team had won the FA Cup final at Wembley to lift Manchester United's first major trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013.
The 53-year-old Portuguese manager has a great track record and has won all imaginable trophies.
If one looks at his impressive CV, one can see the time in 2004 when he guided unfancied Portuguese club Porto to a shock Champions League win and then took Chelsea to a first title triumph in 50 years in 2005.
Then at Inter Milan, he won the Champions League, Italian league and Italian Cup treble in 2010 before moving to Real Madrid, where he helped the club lift the 2012 Spanish title. He then returned to Chelsea and led the London club to another English Premier League crown in 2015.
His biggest blemish was the 2015-16 Premier League season when he was fired by Chelsea in December for the disastrous campaign.
