Jose Mourinho has a glistening managerial career since his touchline debut at Benfica in 2000.

Since then he has won 20 trophies across four leagues, which is a big reason Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy snapped him up.

Within 12 hours of sacking Mauricio Pochettino, their manager of five-and-a half-years, Spurs announced Mourinho as his successor.

After just nine league games in charge of Benfica, Mourinho moved to União de Leiria where his talents were recognised by Porto and he was handpicked to take the reins in 2002 – when the trophies began to arrive.

Six months after arriving, Mourinho picked up his first three trophies in the form of a league, domestic cup and Europa league treble.

Just 12 months later he won his second league with Porto, as well as his first Champions League trophy, which brought him to the attention of Europe’s elite.

In 2004, Mourinho moved to the Premier League to manage Chelsea, introducing himself as ‘The Special One’ and becoming one of the biggest personalities around.

His first campaign saw him beat Arsenal to win Chelsea’s first Premier League title, conceding just 15 goals along the way while also picking up the League Cup by beating Liverpool 3-2 in Cardiff.

Mourinho then won his second successive title, as The Blues finished eight points ahead of runners up Manchester United.

The Chelsea love affair eventually ended in 2007, but upon his departure he had picked up five major trophies in three seasons and was the most successful manager in their history.

Following a season-long break Mourinho was appointed by Inter where he won four major trophies in two seasons including back-to-back Serie A titles and the 2009/10 Champions League – bringing his total trophy collection to 14.

He ditched Italy for Spain shortly after his European success, as he was unveiled as Real Madrid manager.

During his first season in charge of the Spanish giants Mourinho guided Madrid to their first Copa Del Rey in 18 years as they ran out 1-0 winners against Barcelona in the final.

In his second season, Madrid won their first LaLiga title in four years, finishing nine points clear of second placed Barcelona.

His third and final season in charge of Real Madrid was the first time since the 01/02 season where a club managed by Mourinho did not pick up a major trophy and following a Copa del Rey final loss to Athletico Madrid he described the season as ‘The worst in my career’.

A reunion with Chelsea followed in 2013 and despite finishing empty handed in his first year, the Blues were Premier League champions again 12 months later, having lost just three games all season.

The club also picked up the League Cup by defeating Tottenham 2-0 at Wembley.

The following season saw Mourinho sacked by Christmas having lost nine of their opening 16 games to the season.

Mourinho’s next job was Manchester United, in 2016, winning the EFL Cup and Europa League in his debut campaign.

Now Tottenham fans will hope he has not lost any of his winning ways.

In fact, his trophy haul is BIGGER than Spurs’ – if you count major honours and not Charity Shields and Super Cups.

The Portuguese manager enters the dugout at White Hart Lane with a career boasting 20 major trophies which is something Spurs have been lacking in their recent history.

During the 16 years since Mourinho picked up his first major trophy Spurs have managed only one when they beat Chelsea to the League Cup in the 2007/08 season.

The closest Tottenham have come to a major tournament success since was their Champions League final defeat to Liverpool last season.

Spurs have won 17 major trophies in their history, with their last FA Cup triumph coming in 1991.

Is Mourinho the man to finally deliver?
