Jose Mourinho's Trophy Cabinet: A Career in Silverware
0
Jose Mourinho stands among the most decorated managers in football history, a career built on silverware across Europe's elite leagues and competitions.
The Portuguese tactician is part of an exclusive group - just six coaches have won domestic titles in four or more different countries. Mourinho has done it in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, a testament to his adaptability and winning mentality.
His European record is particularly striking. Mourinho has won five of his six continental finals: two Champions League crowns, two Europa League titles and one Conference League trophy. The sole blemish came in 2023, when his Roma side lost the Europa League final to Sevilla on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
So exactly how many trophies has Mourinho collected across his managerial stops? Let's break it down.
Benfica - Mourinho's senior management career began at Benfica in September 2000, but he resigned within three months after a contract dispute with the president. A second spell in September 2025 also ended without silverware.
União de Leiria - He took charge of the modest club in July 2001 and impressed, lifting them into the top four in six months. But a trophy was never realistic, and Porto came calling in January 2002.
Porto - Two and a half years, six trophies. In 2002-03 he won the treble, including the UEFA Cup after a 3-2 extra-time win over Celtic. In 2003-04 he retained the Primeira Liga and beat Monaco in the Champions League final.
Chelsea - Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge in June 2004 and delivered six honours in his first three years, including back-to-back Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006. He returned for a second stint in 2013, winning another Premier League and League Cup double in 2014-15 before leaving by mutual consent in December 2015.
Inter Milan - From 2008 to 2010, Mourinho became a legend at Inter. After winning Serie A and the Italian Super Cup in his first season, he masterminded an historic treble in 2009-10, which included the club's first Champions League in 45 years.
Real Madrid - He moved to the Spanish capital in May 2010, winning the Copa del Rey in his first season. The crowning achievement came in 2011-12, when he ended Pep Guardiola's Barcelona dominance to claim La Liga. He returned for a second spell in June 2026, signing a three-year deal.
Manchester United - After leaving Chelsea, Mourinho took over at Old Trafford in May 2016. He won the Europa League in 2017, beating Ajax 2-0 in the final, as well as the League Cup and Community Shield.
Roma - Mourinho's most recent major trophy came in 2022, when he led Roma to the inaugural Europa Conference League title. He remains the only manager to have won all three current UEFA club competitions.
