Jose Mourinho flat-out knows how to win and he helped Inter do so in 2009/2010. It is more often then not that at season’s end Mourinho has directed his club to at a minimum winning a league title. Mourinho has been so successful managing that he has won a championship in three different competitive leagues.
His first title came in his homeland of Portugal with F.C. Porto. The often outspoken coach won two straight Portuguese Liga titles in 2002/2003 and 2003/2004. In his second successful year, Mourinho steered F.C. Porto to the most coveted trophy in Europe, the UEFA Champions League title. The Portuguese coach would also be honored with the UEFA Manager of the Year Award for his two years with the club.
