Chelsea met Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16, a highly contested match where the Blues lost away in the first leg 2—1 but advanced on aggregate, winning at home 4—2.

Mourinho missed the chance of back-to-back Champions League successes when Chelsea were knocked out of the competition by a controversial goal in the semi-finals by eventual winners Liverpool.

Under Mourinho, Chelsea secured their first top-flight domestic title in 50 years, setting a string of English football records in the process, including the most points ever achieved in the Premier League 95 and the fewest goals conceded Chelsea started the next season well: they defeated Arsenal 2—1 to win the FA Community Shield , and topped the Premier League from the first weekend of the —06 season.

Chelsea beat rivals Manchester United 3—0 to win their second consecutive Premier League title and Mourinho's fourth domestic title in a row.

After the presentation of his championship medal, Mourinho threw his medal and blazer into the crowd. He was awarded a second medal within minutes, which he also threw into the crowd.

The —07 season saw growing media speculation that Mourinho would leave the club at the season's conclusion, due to alleged poor relations with owner Roman Abramovich and a power struggle with sporting director Frank Arnesen and Abramovich advisor Piet de Visser.

Mourinho later cleared doubts regarding his future at Stamford Bridge, stating that there would only be two ways for him to leave Chelsea: if Chelsea were not to offer him a new contract in June , and if Chelsea were to sack him.

The signing of Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko in the summer of for a club record fee would also prove to be a point of contention between Mourinho and Abramovich.

Chelsea had attempted to sign Shevchenko in the preceding two years but Milan rebuffed Abramovich's interest in him.

Shevchenko's first season at Chelsea was viewed as a major disappointment by the Chelsea fans, as he only scored four league goals and 14 in all competitions.

Shevchenko's strike partner, Didier Drogba, had the highest scoring season of his career that year and this led Shevchenko to be dropped from the starting line-up towards the end of the season by Mourinho.

Notably, in the Champions League semi-final match against Liverpool at Anfield , Shevchenko was not even included on the bench. Abramovich's insistence on Mourinho playing the Ukrainian was widely viewed as a further source of friction between the two men.

The possibility, however, of the quadruple was brought to an end on 1 May when Liverpool eliminated Chelsea from the Champions League on penalties at Anfield, following a 1—1 aggregate draw.

This was Mourinho's first season without a league title win in five years. This was his first FA Cup win which meant that he had won every domestic trophy available to a Premier League manager.

There was, however, to be further friction between Mourinho and Abramovich when Avram Grant was appointed as director of football, despite objections from Mourinho.

Grant's position was further enhanced by being given a seat on the board. In spite of these tensions, the —08 transfer season would see the departure of Dutch winger Arjen Robben to Real Madrid and the arrival of French midfielder Florent Malouda from Lyon.

In the first match of the —08 season , Chelsea beat Birmingham City 3—2 to set a new record of 64 consecutive home league matches without defeat.

Despite surpassing the record set by Liverpool between and , [53] the start to the —08 Chelsea season was less successful than previous starts.

The team lost at Aston Villa and followed this with a goalless draw at home to Blackburn Rovers. Their opening game in the UEFA Champions League saw them only manage a 1—1 home draw against the Norwegian team Rosenborg BK in front of only 24, an almost half-empty stadium which included an unimpressed owner Roman Abramovich.

Mourinho unexpectedly left Chelsea on 20 September "by mutual consent", although there had been a series of disagreements with owner Abramovich.

Mourinho left as the most successful manager in Chelsea's history, having won six trophies for the club in three years. He was also undefeated in all home league games.

Avram Grant succeeded Mourinho as Chelsea manager but failed to win any trophies in his year in charge and would be sacked at the end of the —08 season.

Grant's squad managed to reach the final of the Champions League something Mourinho failed to achieve in his three years at Chelsea , reach the final of the League Cup and maintained the unbeaten home streak at Stamford Bridge.

Grant's Chelsea also finished second in the Premier League. On 2 June , Mourinho was appointed the successor of Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan on a three-year contract, and brought along with him much of his backroom staff who had served him at both Chelsea and Porto.

In his first season as Inter head coach, Mourinho won the Supercoppa Italiana , beating Roma on penalties, [65] and finished top of Serie A. Inter, however, were eliminated 2—0 on aggregate by Manchester United in the first knock-out round of the Champions League , and he also failed to win the Coppa Italia , being defeated 3—1 on aggregate by Sampdoria in the semi-finals.

Both teenagers played a part in the Scudetto -winning season and played enough games to earn their first senior trophy.

Despite his domestic successes in winning the Scudetto by a point margin, Mourinho's first season in Italy was viewed as disappointing by some Inter fans, as the club failed to improve on the performances of his predecessor Roberto Mancini in the Champions League.

Inter put in a series of lacklustre group stage performances that included a shock 1—0 home loss to Panathinaikos and an away draw with Cypriot minnows Anorthosis Famagusta.

Inter qualified, however, for the knockout stages of the Champions League but failed to make it to the quarter-finals after being defeated by Manchester United.

Mourinho also caused immediate ripples in Italian football through his controversial relationships with the Italian press and media, as well as his feuds with major Serie A coaches, including Carlo Ancelotti , then of Milan, Luciano Spalletti of Roma and Claudio Ranieri of Juventus.

At a press conference in March , he insulted the first two rivals by claiming they would end the season with no honours, and accused the Italian sport journalists of "intellectual prostitution" on their behalf.

It also became the title's catchphrase used by fans to celebrate Inter's 17th Scudetto later that season. This loss left the Nerazzurri seven points above their crosstown rivals with only two games remaining.

They would eventually finish 10 points clear of Milan. On 28 July , Mourinho was reported to have shown interest in taking over at Manchester United when Alex Ferguson retired.

He was quoted as saying, "I would consider going to Manchester United but United have to consider if they want me to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.

If they do, then of course. Figo was on the verge of leaving Inter under Mancini due to a lack of playing time, but in his final season Mourinho used him frequently.

Mourinho signed Argentine striker Diego Milito , who fell just one goal short of winning the top scorer award with Genoa , as well as Thiago Motta and Wesley Sneijder , to bolster the midfield.

This transfer was the second most expensive in the history of the transfer market, after Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid earlier in the summer.

Eto'o got off to a promising start with Inter by scoring two goals in the first two matches of the season. Ricardo Quaresma's signing from Mourinho's old club Porto was viewed as a missing link in the Inter squad, but his play disappointed the club and led him to be loaned off to Chelsea midway through the season, ironically Mourinho's other former club.

Mancini also failed to dominate in the midfield and addressing these shortcomings in the transfer market became a priority for Inter.

Inter's lack of a creative playmaker, or trequartista , had been blamed for the Champions League failure. Mourinho once again sparked controversy in the summer with his argument with Italy national team coach Marcello Lippi.

Lippi predicted that Juventus would win the Scudetto in the —10 season , which Mourinho viewed as disrespectful to Inter.

The previous year, Lippi predicted Inter would win the title and Mourinho did not respond to his prediction. Lippi responded by saying that Mourinho was equal to Ciro Ferrara and Leonardo at Juventus and Milan, respectively, only that he was more experienced.

Cannavaro had said that Santon might have to leave Inter to get regular playing time to gain selection for Italy in the upcoming World Cup. Mourinho responded by saying that Cannavaro was acting like a coach.

Inter struggled in their first two matches of the new season. Inter went on to score more than 30 goals before the end of November, thrashing derby rivals Milan 4—0, with new signings Diego Milito and Motta both scoring, and hammering Genoa 5—0, the largest margin of victory in the Serie A that season.

Mourinho was sent off in the December Derby d'Italia away fixture after he sarcastically applauded the referee for what he felt was a dubious free-kick given to Juventus and Inter went on to lose 2—1, courtesy of a Claudio Marchisio winner in the second half.

Later during the season, Mourinho maintained a strongly critical position against refereeing in Italy, which reached its peak during the league game on 22 February against Sampdoria, which ended in a 0—0 tie, with two Inter players being sent off in the first half.

At the end of the first half, Mourinho made a handcuffs gesture towards a camera which was considered by the Italian Football Federation as violent and critical of the refereeing performance, and caused a three-game ban against the Portuguese coach.

Despite this, Mourinho achieved what was hailed as one of his career highlights after Inter managed to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals by defeating his former team Chelsea in both legs 2—1 win at San Siro, then followed by a 1—0 win at Stamford Bridge.

Wesley Sneijder's goal in the sixth minute proved the difference in a match played in laid-back style. This marked the first time in seven years that Inter managed to make it to the semi-finals of the competition.

This brought Inter back into a European Cup final 38 years after their last a defeat by Ajax. Marca proclaimed that Mourinho had passed the test to become the next head coach of Real Madrid, as their fans celebrated the elimination of Barcelona.

On 5 May , the team won the Coppa Italia, defeating Roma 1—0 , and on 16 May , Inter beat Siena 1—0 to secure the domestic double , accomplishing the feat of winning all trophies available for a manager in the Serie A.

On 22 May , Inter won the Champions League after beating Bayern Munich 2—0, and in doing so became the first Italian club to complete the treble , with Mourinho personally celebrating the second Champions League title in his managerial career.

The day after having won the Champions League, Mourinho said that he was "sad, as almost for sure it's my last game with Inter".

He then added that "if you don't coach Real Madrid then you will always have a gap in your career". After days of discussions between Real Madrid and Inter, a world record breaking compensation package was successfully agreed on 28 May , and Mourinho was consequently released by Inter.

One week later, the two teams met again in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League , Real Madrid's furthest advance in the tournament since the semi-finals, as the club was knocked out in the quarter-finals, and then from to the club had suffered six consecutive exits at the round of The second leg at Camp Nou finished 1—1, which eliminated Real from the tournament.

On 7 December , Real Madrid defeated Ajax with a 3—0 scoreline and concluded the Champions League group stage with six victories, [] becoming the fifth team in Champions League history to accomplish the feat.

This was the first victory for Real Madrid in La Liga against their archrivals since and the first overall at Camp Nou since Also, in this match Real Madrid broke the record for most goals scored in the championship, with Mourinho's side advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second consecutive year.

It was very noble". On 22 May , Mourinho signed a new four-year contract to remain as Real Madrid manager through to Real Madrid won the competition on the away goals rule after a tie of 4—4 on aggregate.

This meant Mourinho had won every domestic title available for a manager in the Spanish top division within two years. He became the only coach who has won the national super cups in four European countries.

Real Madrid reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third consecutive year under Mourinho's management. The club, however, was defeated 4—1 in the first leg away at Borussia Dortmund.

In the second leg at home, Real managed to score two goals in the last 10 minutes, but the team could not get the third goal that would have levelled the aggregate score and sent them through on away goals.
