2007:
Mourinho is surprisingly sacked, a few months after saying he wanted to stay at Chelsea for the long term.
Steve Sidwell: "I thought, 'Shit, he's gone, what now?'. It affects you when you see characters like Terry, Lampard and Drogba crying on the floor."

2010:
This one is probably the most hurtful.
After winning the treble in the most successful season of his career, José Mourinho had to leave again for a bigger challenge.
He wanted to stay, but he had to leave for his 'dream'.

José Mourinho: "The ideal club for me was what I had at Inter. They had ambition and people I wanted to work with and enjoyed working with."
His hug with Materazzi says everything.

2013:
After 3 years of war with Barcelona (and with everyone else too), Mourinho and Real Madrid decided to part ways.
When he arrived, Real Madrid were in the lowest point of their history. When he left, Real Madrid were set to dominate Europe.

2018:
Mourinho was the first member of a Man United team to point out to the fans what was wrong with the club (the second was Cristiano).
After almost 1 year of publicly mocking and exposing Man United's ownership, Mourinho is sacked.

After almost 1 year of publicly mocking and exposing Man United's ownership, Mourinho is sacked.
In retrospect, Mourinho continued to point out Man United's big flaws.
"One of the best jobs of my career was to finish second with Man United in the Premier League. I keep saying this because people don't know what is going on behind the scenes."

2021:
This one is insane. Mourinho goes to Tottenham with the aim to end their 15 year trophy drought. He takes them to a final... and is sacked 6 days before it. Spurs lost the final.
And Mourinho won't let Daniel Levy forget it.

José Mourinho: "It marks my career, not to play a final that I earned the right to play. To say now that we would have won that final is silly, but we played City three times and we won twice."
Spot on.
Spot on.
2024:
After breaking Roma's 14 year trophy drought and taking them to back to back European finals, Mourinho is sacked by the Roma owners for being 5 points away from top 4.
José Mourinho: "Roma have the most incredible fans I have seen in my life."

This was the last time Mourinho was in front of the Roma fans at the Olimpico.
Mourinho leaves the pitch after being sent off, at the end of the match, with the entire Olimpico chanting his name and applauding.
A fitting ending to a beautiful 2 and a half year journey.
💛❤️
