José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho, GOIH (pronounced (born 26 January 1963 in Setúbal) is a Portuguese football manager. He is the current manager of Italian club Inter.
The son of Portuguese goalkeeper Félix, Mourinho started out as a player but he was unsatisfied with his mediocre career and switched to management. After spells working as an assistant manager and a youth team coach in the early 1990s, he became an interpreter for Bobby Robson. Mourinho learnt much from the veteran coach and worked with him at top Portuguese teams Sporting and Porto, and at Spanish giants Barcelona.
He began focusing on coaching and impressed with brief but successful managerial periods at Benfica and U.D. Leiria. He returned to Porto in 2002, this time as head coach, and soon became a force to be reckoned with, winning the Portuguese Liga, Cup of Portugal and UEFA Cup in 2003. Greater success followed in 2004 as Mourinho guided the team to the top of the league for a second time and won the highest honour in European club football, the UEFA Champions League.
Mourinho moved to Chelsea the following year and won two consecutive Premier League titles in 2004 and 2005, among other domestic honours. He often courted controversy for his outspokenness but his victories at Chelsea and Porto established him as one of the top football managers, well regarded by both his peers and the press. Additionally, he was named the world's best football manager by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) for both the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons. After a fall out with the Chelsea hierarchy he moved to Serie A, signing a three year contract with Inter in mid-2008. Within three months he had won his first Italian honour, the Italian Supercup.
