#4 Jose Mourinho (Chelsea 2004-07, 2013-15)
Perhaps the most famous example of a manager returning to his former team is Jose Mourinho, who has twice headed Chelsea. He branded himself the ‘Special One’ when he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2004 amid a buzz of media interest having led Porto to become European champions months earlier.
He never hit the same heights with the Blues but he did win two league titles before being sacked.
Though he fell out with owner Roman Abramovich, the success he enjoyed at Inter and Real Madrid subsequently saw him invited back, and while this wrought another league title, he was sacked again rapidly the following season.
