Mourinho made his name during a spell with Porto between 2002 and 2004 where he won six trophies, including the Champions League in 2003-04.Since leaving his homeland in 2004, Mourinho has managed Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Roma and Fenerbahce.After sacking Lage on Tuesday, Benfica president Rui Costa said the new manager must have the “profile of a winner”.Mourinho certainly fits that brief, having won 21 major trophies, with his most recent success coming in the Conference League with Roma in 2022.The Portuguese, who famously gave himself the moniker ‘the special one’ in 2004, returns to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Champions League on 30 September.
