Greatest XI of Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has already forged a hall of fame managerial career. The fact that he has done this in double quick time only increases his case as one of the greatest managers of the modern era. His first Chelsea team of 2005-2006, Inter team of 2010 and Real Madrid team of 2012 boasted players of the highest quality.

With a plethora of great players at his disposal, it is a tough task trying to name an all time Jose Mourinho XI. The options only become more difficult when you consider his historic UCL winning Porto team as well as his Premier League winning Chelsea team in 2015.

As a manager Mourinho is known to set up his teams with a strong defensive back line. He was the one who introduced the concept of playing with two holding mid fielders who shield the back line. Such a strong defense allows Jose to play four attack minded players up field with the idea of scoring goals on the counter attack.

Using his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, we try and select an all time Jose Mourinho XI.
