He was unavoidable, both positively and negatively, during his two stints at Chelsea and his one at Tottenham. His capacity to draw attention is still nearly unrivaled.
He will play his second Premier League team, where the desire for victory was at its highest, in the Europa League on Thursday against Manchester United at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium.
Nearly six years have passed since Mourinho departed United. Even though he is no longer among us, we never forget him.
The story of Mourinho’s tenure at United is best summed up by the team’s 2018 preseason tour of the United States.
One of the commercial chances on the trip was a “training session” with James Corden, host of the Late, Late Show at the time, at the stunning UCLA campus in Los Angeles.
Numerous local kids, under the guidance of Corden, competed against Mourinho’s United team, which included Juan Mata, Chris Smalling, and Ander Herrera.
Early in the morning, before the planned team exercise session, filming was planned.
The players said they were willing to fulfill the commitment, even if they had to start early after taking a day off since Mourinho had thrown the event into the tour schedule at the last minute.
