The Portuguese announced his managerial pedigree by leading unfancied Porto to Champions League glory in 2004. Chelsea's billonaire owner Roman Avramovich soon swooped up the Portuguese, who introduced himself as the Special One.

His words soon turned out to be prophetic as he led the Blues to their first league title in five decades, breaking several records along the way. There would be no looking back from there for Mourinho.

Amidst delivering two more league titles at Chelsea in the following ten years in two separate stints, Mourinho found success in Italy and Spain. The Portuguese won a continental treble with Inter Milan (2010) and two league titles before moving to Real Madrid. In his second year at the Santiago Bernabeu, Mourinho's Madrid won La Liga with a record points tally.

The Special One was appointed Manchester United's manager after becoming the first manager and third overall after Arsene Wenger to win three Premier League titles. Although he didn't win a league title with United, Mourinho won a Europa League title.

After a failed stint at Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho returned to Italy this summer, where he won the 1000th game of his storied managerial career.

After a few rather middling years, Mourinho will hope to lead Roma to the league title in what could be one of the most open Serie A title races in years.


#2 Arsene Wenger - 1381 (702 games)

Arsene Wenger, like Sir Alex Ferguson, is another legendary manager in the game's history.

The Frenchman, a three-time Premier League winner, is the only manager in the competition's history to lead a team unbeaten through a league season. Arsenal's 2003-04 team is popularly called the 'Invincibles' because of their historic feat.

During a glorious two-decade-long stint at the Gunners, Wenger made Arsenal one of the top English clubs in England and Europe. The Frenchman took the Gunners to their first Champions League final in 2006, but Arsenal lost to Barcelona despite taking the lead in the title match.

Wenger is one of only two men to win over 400 games as a Premier League manager. Although Arsenal are yet to win another league title since that Invinvibles triumph, Wenger holds a special pride of place among the club's faithful.


#1 Carlo Ancelotti - 1434 (706 games)

The Italian also happens to be one of three managers to win three UEFA Champions League trophies. He is one of a handful of men to win the Champions League as both player and manager. He has managed some of the top clubs in tgameme, and has had success at most of them.

Ancelotti has an enviable managerial resume. The Italian has racked up league titles with AC Milan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Now in charge of Real Madrid, the 62-year-old recorded his first win at the Camp Nou as the Merengues look good for their second league title in three years.

If the former Everton manager adds a La Liga triumph to his collection, it would make him the first manager ever to win league titles in five different countries.
