JOSE MOURINHOS CONTROVERSIAL LEGACY SO FAR He is one of the most colourful characters in the British game and has since enjoyed success at Inter Milan and Real Madrid before returning to London. On becoming Chelsea manager for the first time, he said: I have top players and Im sorry, we have a top manager. Please do not call me arrogant because what I say is true. Im European champion, Im not one out of the bottle, I think Im a special one. Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubi on Mourinhos return to Chelsea: It is not good for English football. If Mourinho behaves like he did in Spain it will only be an unhappy relationship. In his three years in Spain he only created disagreements and arguments. I am happy he is leaving and so is everyone in Spanish football. Check this out: 1. February 2005: After Chelseas 2-1 defeat against Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 clash, Mourinho wrongly accused Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard of visiting referee Anders Frisk at half-time. Mourinho is fined £8,900, given a two-match touchline ban and called an enemy of football by the head of Uefas referees committee Volker Roth. 2. March 2005: Mourinho is fined £5,000 after he alleged Manchester United players were guilty of fault and fault and cheat and cheat during a Carling Cup semi-final clash. 3. June 2005: Mourinho is fined £200,000, which is reduced to £75,000 on appeal, for meeting then-Arsenal player Ashley Cole, without his clubs consent. 4.

December 2010: Mourinho is banned for one Champions League match after being found guilty of improper conduct. It follows the dismissal of Real Madrid players Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos during a Champions League game against Ajax. 6. August 2011: Mourinho, in charge of Real Madrid, pokes Barcelonas then-assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye during touchline exchanges after a stormy Spanish Super Cup tie. 7. January 2013: After dropping club captain Iker Casillas before the mid-winter break, reports emerge in the Spanish press of disagreements between Mourinho and some of his senior players. Stories continue to appear throughout the rest of the season about disharmony in the squad, with centre-back Pepe the latest to fall foul of Mourinho last month. 8. May 2013: In a bad-tempered Copa del Rey final defeat by neighbours Atletico Madrid, Mourinho is sent from the bench for furiously protesting a decision from the referee. He was jeered by sections of the Real support during his final game in charge against Osasuna. 9. October 5, 2014: Mourinho was standing within his own boundary in a Premier League game between Chelsea vs Arsenal in Stamford Bridge and Arsene Wenger nearly strangled him. LOL Club affiliation apart, be sincere. How do you see Jose Mourinho, has he added more COLOUR to the game of football or DISTRACTION?
