‘The Special One’ now adorns walls in true flamboyant Mourinho fashion, showing off a remarkable haul of Guinness world records.
Despite not having the skill of Eden Hazard, or Diego Costa’s goals, Jose Mourinho undoubtedly boasts the most impressive collection of world records at Chelsea FC, which he was pictured proudly displaying on the walls of his office at their Cobham training ground.
Having won eight league titles in four countries, multiple domestic cups and two Champions League crowns, few managers ever achieve a fraction of Mourinho’s success, fewer still by the age of 52.
Mourinho’s records include Most Points in a Premier League Season, with 95 in the 2004/5 season, Most Champions Leagues Won at Different Clubs, having clinched Europe’s top prize with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.

He also holds Youngest Manager to Reach 100 Champions League Games, a feat recorded when Mourinho was 49 years and 12 days old, as well as 77 games unbeaten at Stamford Bridge giving him Most Games Unbeaten at Home in the Premier League.
He told Chelseafc.com: “The fact they gave me the awards in a way that I can put them up in my office is nice.
“It’s something fun and as a kid you could never imagine that one day you would be in the Guinness Book of Records.”
Nevertheless, the accolades will count for very little unless Mourinho and Chelsea manage to turn around their indifferent start to this year’s Premier League.
Fans will be happy to hear The Special One has his sights set firmly on resolving the current problems.
“You know me, these awards are for something I did in the past and obviously it’s nice, but for me what’s more important is what I can do in the future,” he said.
Chelsea’s league campaign resumes next weekend against Everton in Saturday’s early kick-off.
