At Inter Jose possessed at the time the best keeper in the world in Julio Cesar. At Real he had the legendary Iker Casillas. During his second stint with Chelsea he had the sensational Courtois.

But you would be hard pressed to pick any of these great keepers over the classy Petr Cech. In his first Chelsea team, Cech was an absolute mammoth in between the goal posts. His tall frame and super positional sense made him almost unbeatable and provided and sense of calm and security for the defense. When Jose first arrived at Stamford Bridge, he chose Cech over the more experienced goal keeper in Carlos Cudicini. In an ironic turn of events almost a decade later, Jose picked Courtois over Cech as his No 1.

Fortunately that did not change the relationship between Cech and Jose. Ultimately Cech did leave Chelsea for Arsenal of all teams, but not before he became the best goalkeeper Jose Mourinho ever had.
