Despite his huge success at a variety of clubs, Jose Mourinho has never remained in one job for longer than three seasons. Even in the cutthroat world of modern football, that’s still a remarkable stat – especially when you consider that Mourinho has had massive success in each job he’s taken on.

If the Portuguese was failing at every turn, you could understand why he’d be struggling to stay with a team, but Jose has won league titles in Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, plus two Champions Leagues, a UEFA Cup, the Europa League, and countless other domestic trophies.

To date, the longest that Mourinho has remained in a managerial job is his 1,176 days in charge of Chelsea during his first stint in the Stamford Bridge dugout. Other than that, his FC Porto career came to an end after 905 days, his Inter Milan stay lasted 727 days, his tenure as Real Madrid boss clocked in at 1,126 days, and his second spell at Chelsea concluded after 899 days.

At present, Mourinho is at around the 800-day mark as Manchester United manager. As you can see from the aforementioned stats, history suggests that this is usually round about the time where Jose Mourinho’s time in a job starts to dwindle to an end – usually complete with a nice pay-off from his employer.
