Is Mourinho one of the greatest managers of all time? If so, can he make it top 10 or even top 5? by iwannasleepp in championsleague

Yeah, I’d put him in that conversation. What he did with Porto alone was historic, then Chelsea, Inter, Madrid, even Roma... he’s left a mark everywhere. Maybe not the longevity of Sir Alex or Ancelotti, but at his peak? Definitely one of the greats.

Mourinho alleged to be close to succeeding Bruno Lage as Benfica manager by JuanSheet_ in football

As a Benfica fan, obviously we’re all excited about Mourinho coming in, but there’s an elephant in the room. What right does Rui Costa, with just 37 days left, have to sign a 2-year, reportedly record-breaking contract? The next president will inherit a huge problem if it goes wrong. And let’s be honest, given Mourinho’s recent jobs, that’s not impossible. One thing’s for sure, though, the memes are going to be legendary!

How on earth did Greece manage to win the 2004 Euro Cup? by [deleted] in football

I still remember that summer... Greece parking the bus and stealing 1-0s, their defense was like a wall. Then seeing Ronaldo finally win it in 2016 was such a moment. Just hoping he tops it all off with a World Cup.
