Jose Mourinho is one of the greatest football managers of all time and evidently one of the most successful, having won 26 major trophies, including two UEFA Champions League trophies.

He has won a trophy in every country he has managed and all clubs he has managed except Tottenham Hotspur. Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and AS Roma are clubs, he has achieved success.

He currently manages AS Roma in the Italian league and ended the club's 14 years trophy drought by winning the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League, the club's first European trophy in history.

Six years later, the Special One led Inter Milan to glory, his second and last triumph in the competition. He masterminded a cracking semi-final victory over Barcelona before beating Bayern 2-0 in the final, as reported by Eurosport.

The fans of the two clubs have not forgotten the manager that put them in the European spotlight. Ahead of their round of 16 encounter tonight, they united in chanting his name, as seen in a video recirculated on Twitter by @Iconic_Mourinho.

Tottenham set unwanted record in Mourinho's career

Sports Brief earlier reported that Tottenham was the only club Jose Mourinho did not win a trophy, having spent 17 months at the London club.

He said it would not be his only club without silverware when he joined but was sacked six days before a cup final which they eventually lost.

Ancelotti hails Mourinho as the greatest

Sports Brief also reported that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti hailed Mourinho as the greatest of them all and that his defensive tactics are very valid and not outdated.

The two illustrious managers have both managed Chelsea and Real Madrid and won titles at every big club they have managed and shared great respect with each other.
