Mourinho has taken over at Manchester
United after leaving Stamford Bridge before Christmas last season.
The Portuguese tactician was
appointed again at Chelsea in mid-2013, leading the club to a Premier League
title.
But it turned sour for Mourinho in
London, departing in December last year after losing nine of 16 league games.
Jose Mourinho's first conflict with
Manchester United in his administrative vocation was an acclaimed one as his
Porto side bombshell Sir Alex Ferguson's men more than two legs in the
Champions League in 2004. It didn't take long for the sharpness to start. Ferguson
was irritated with Vitor Baia's part in Roy Keane's sending off as Porto won
the principal leg 2-1 before their own fans. Mourinho continued to deride his
United partner.
There was no less than a FA Cup
triumph over United to keep Ferguson's men doing the twofold. "I won't
discard this one," said Mourinho. "It implies a great deal, it's the
FA Cup and it's the first for me. It implies we have won each title in English
football in the three years I have been at the club."
Joined hoped to have done what's
necessary in the arrival leg at Old Trafford and were set to experience on away
objectives just for Costinha to seize upon a Tim Howard blunder and turn the
tie on its head in the diminishing minutes… sending Mourinho running down the
touchline and into Champions League history as Porto went ahead to win the
trophy.
Mourinho went ahead to win the title
in his first season with Chelsea and had the joy of beating United 3-1 at Old
Trafford in May. The activities of the home side earned a burrow. "I saw
their players and supervisor go for a lap of honor subsequent to losing to us
in their last home amusement," said Mourinho. "In Portugal on the off
chance that you do this, they toss bottles at you."
