Mourinho is about to return to Stamford Bridge and lead Benfica to fight against Chelsea. ESPN reporter Mark Ogden posted a message to review some changes since Mourinho started his coaching career.
Porto was the beginning of Mourinho's reputation, and he led the team to win six trophys including the Champions League and the Europa League. Chelsea is where Mourinho declares his "special" identity to the world. Since he took charge in 2004, he has returned to the old place after experiencing countless praises and criticisms. Although his former style is no longer there, it would be too arbitrary to simply classify him as an angry, destructive, and annoying outdated coach just because he did not perform well in the second half of his career.
According to people familiar with Mourinho, his personality changed during his tenure as Real Madrid coach from 2010 to 2013. During that difficult period, Mourinho's arrogance was gradually wiped out due to the suppression of Guardiola and Barcelona and the conflict with Real Madrid's core players in the locker room, and his aggressive and dark side emerged. After leaving Real Madrid, every club he coached failed to continue his glory, so he headed to the Turkish League. If Mourinho was at his peak, he would never consider coaching Fenerbahce.
This time, leading Benfica to Stamford Bridge seems to remind people how far-reaching influence Mourinho once had. After leading Porto to the Champions League in 2004, no teams in the five major leagues have ever been involved in the Champions League championship. His coaching at Chelsea has also profoundly changed the situation of the Premier League. The lineup composed of Chech, Terry, Lampard, Drogba and other players has not yet achieved its due historical status 20 years later. Although Mourinho has become one of the most controversial figures in football, the players he has led at his peak still regards him as an unparalleled presence among coaches he has worked with.
Of course, there are also some stars who worked with Mourinho in the later stages of his coaching career, such as Ronaldo, Ramos, Pogba, and Luke Shaw, who have had a tense relationship with him. After Mourinho was fired by Manchester United in December 2018, a source told ESPN that the appointment of Solskjaer was to hope that he could become the "anti-drug" of the negative emotions brought by his ex.
