In January 2002, he replaced Octávio Machado as Porto’s coach, and the team finished in third place that year. While Mourinho was coach, Porto won the Portuguese Cup, the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup and the UEFA Cup. He left Porto in June 2004 after English football club Chelsea offered him a 3-year contract and agreed a £1.7 million compensation package with Porto.

In November 2019, Mourinho signed a 4-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur and in June 2020, Tottenham gave him his 300th victory in English football.
Investments
