In a recent Istanbul derby against Galatasaray - which Fenerbahce lost 3-1 - Mourinho suffered one of his most humiliating moments as his opponents mocked him on social media with a fake book cover titled ‘The Crying One’ – a play on his ‘Special One’ moniker.
It's not the first time Mourinho has expressed his anger at officials - as English referee Anthony Taylor found out after Mourinho's Roma were beaten on penalties by Sevilla in the 2023 Europa League final.
He has also left the door open to a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia, admitting in 2023 that he was "convinced" he would one day work in the Saudi Pro League, adding: "No one knows the future, but I will definitely do this [work in Saudi Arabia].
His career has seen him win domestic league titles in Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, while his Champions League wins with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010 cemented his reputation as one of the best in the business.
His infamous "Respect, respect, respect" outburst in a Manchester United press conference and his heated touchline clashes have become part of his iconic status, along with the night he snuck into Chelsea's dressing room in a laundry basket to deliver a team talk while banned from entering by UEFA.
