The story that has shocked everyone recently is the fact that the Spanish Champions Barcelona managed to defeat a very strong Real Madrid side which is now under one of the best coaches in the world, Jose Mourinho.
The Catalan giants were the ones who were defeated by Jose Mourinho last season during the semi-final match of the UEFA Champions League when the Portuguese tactician was the head coach of the Italian Champions Inter Milan.
Jose Mourinho has always been known as the “special one” because of his extraordinary tactics and it all started when he started coaching the very strong Portuguese side Porto. Porto were definitely not the side who were expected to win anything in Europe
during that season but the “special one” really helped his side and took them forward and won the UEFA Champions League and shocked the whole world by taking a side in front who were considered to be the underdogs.
Later, the Porto boss decided to become a part of the Premier League as he joined Chelsea to show his tactical talents in England. While being a part of “the blues,” Jose Mourinho helped the side win the first ever double as he went on to win the FA Cup
along with the English League even though he had a very strong competitor Sir Alex Ferguson as the head coach of one of the best teams in Europe, Manchester United.
Even though Mourinho won the league twice while being the head of Chelsea in the Premier League, he could not really win the European title with the blues and despite the fact he helped his side reach the semi final of the tournament, he could not really
help them reach the final of it.
Now Mourinho is in charge of the Spanish side Real Madrid after his extraordinary run with the Italian champions Inter Milan. While being the head at the San Siro, Mourinho made sure that he had just the right squad as he took his team to Santiago Bernabeu
in the final of the UEFA Champions League and won after defeating the German champions Bayern Munich.
After being a part of the Los Blancos, Mourinho had to face Josep Guardiola, the same manager who came head to head against him while he was a part of Inter Milan. Guardiola was often known as an “over rated” manager because he has an extraordinary team
with him while Mourinho is often known to be one of the best coaches in the world. However, when both the coaches came head to head, Guardiola was the one who won it 5-0 at his home as Mourinho recorded his first ever “humiliating” defeat in his career.
Now with Sir Alex Ferguson retiring soon from Manchester United, it was expected that Jose Mourinho is going to take his position in the Red Devils as he is the only one who can replace the great English coach. However, with Guardiola now showing his worth
in Barcelona, teams like Chelsea and Inter Milan are offering him already and now Guardiola is eyeing a move to the English side.
Now it all depends on Ferguson whether he wants Guardiola or Mourinho in his place and only time is going to tell as these are the only two coaches who are capable of replacing a manager like Ferguson at the moment.
