José Mourinho, famously dubbed “The Special One,” remains one of football’s most iconic managers. His career has seen glittering success across Europe’s biggest leagues but over the past 10 seasons (2014/15–2024/25), the stats tell a more complicated story about whether that title still fits.
We’ve broken down Mourinho’s key performance metrics at Chelsea (2nd spell), Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma, and Fenerbahçe, focusing on win percentages, points per game, goals scored, goals conceded, and major trophies won.
Chelsea (2nd Spell, 2013/14–2015/16)
Seasons: 2014/15 (full), 2015/16 (partial, sacked Dec 2015)
Win %: ~66.7% in 2014/15 (36 wins from 54 games); ~25% in 2015/16 (poor start, 9 losses in 16 PL games)
Points per Game (PPG): 2.3 in 2014/15 (Premier League); plummeted in 2015/16 (~1.1)
Goals Scored: 109 in 2014/15 (all comps); low output in 2015/16 (~32 in 16 PL games)
Goals Conceded: Chelsea’s 2014/15 defense was robust (32 in PL); 2015/16 saw defensive collapse.
Trophies: Premier League (2014/15), League Cup (2014/15)
The 2014/15 season was a high point, with Chelsea dominating the Premier League. However, the 2015/16 collapse (16th in PL at sacking) marked a low, with player unrest and tactical stagnation cited.
Manchester United (2016/17–2018/19)
Seasons: 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19 (partial, sacked Dec 2018)

...
Mourinho delivered trophies in his first season and a 2nd-place PL finish in 2017/18 (81 points), but his pragmatic style drew criticism, and his 2018/19 sacking followed poor results and reported player conflicts.
Tottenham Hotspur (2019/20–2020/21)
Seasons: 2019/20 (partial), 2020/21 (partial, sacked Apr 2021)
Win %: 45% overall (9 wins in 20 games in 2019/20; ~44% in 2020/21)
PPG: 1.55 overall (81 points after 50 PL games, lowest in any stint)
Goals Scored: ~80 in 2020/21 (all comps); attack often lackluster
Goals Conceded: Conceded 5 in a single FA Cup match (2021); defense inconsistent (~40 in 32 PL games, 2020/21)
Trophies: None
Mourinho’s Spurs tenure was turbulent, with a 6th-place finish in 2019/20 and 7th at sacking in 2020/21. His teams struggled defensively and lacked attacking flair, leading to fan discontent.
AS Roma (2021/22–2023/24)
Seasons: 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24 (partial, sacked Jan 2024)
Win %: 50.9% (2021/22), 47.3% (2022/23), 46.4% (2023/24)
PPG: ~1.7–1.9 across seasons; never above 2.0
Goals Scored: 90 in 2021/22, ~80 in 2022/23; modest output
Goals Conceded: ~50 per season; defense solid but not elite
Trophies: Europa Conference League (2021/22)
Mourinho won Roma’s first European trophy (Europa Conference League), but league form stagnated (6th, 6th, 9th). His win % dipped below 50% for the first time, and frequent controversies marked his exit.
Fenerbahçe (2024/25, ongoing)
Season: 2024/25 (as of Apr 2025)
Win %: 63.4% (26 wins from 41 games)
PPG: 2.1 (on par with Man United 2017/18)
Goals Scored: 91 (74 in Süper Lig)
Goals Conceded: 43 (more than 4 of his last 10 seasons)
Trophies: None yet
Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe stint shows a resurgence, with a strong win % and high goal output. However, defensive frailties persist, and the season is ongoing.
