One of the most successful managers of all time. His trophy haul is unsurpassed by anyone still working in the game and includes league titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, and two Champions League triumphs. However, his spells at Chelsea and Manchester United ended ignominiously, leading some to question whether he has evolved with the game in recent years.

ASSISTANT

Joao Sacramento

A new addition to Mourinho's inner circle. Had worked at Lille since January 2017, working his way up from analyst to assistant as the club qualified for the Champions League.

Replaces Toni Jimenez, who left with Mauricio Pochettino.
