Jose Mourinho might have made a swift exit from Porto back in 2004, but it appears he’s still fondly remembered.
Within weeks of delivering the European Cup to the Portuguese champions, Mourinho was sitting down at a Chelsea press conference, claiming that he was “the Special One”.
Now in his second stint with Chelsea, Mourinho returns to Porto, whose museum features its very own Jose Mourinho statue.

If we’re being honest, the picture of the statue that Porto have posted is from a rather flattering angle. Especially when compared to the close-up below.

Nevertheless, we’re sure that it’ll be a popular photo opportunity for the traveling Chelsea supporters this week.
Not everyone is keen on it though…
