Having managed Porto and Inter Milan to Champions League glory and Chelsea to three Premier League titles, there are not too many more decorated managers than Jose Mourinho.
But perhaps more impressive than his ability to pick up silverware is his uncanny way of doing so while seemingly falling out with every player he manages.
With this in mind, we have put together a ridiculously good XI made up entirely of players the Portuguese has publicly fallen out with.
GK: Iker Casillas
From everything Mourinho said about the Spanish legend, you could probably count the things he liked about him on one hand.
He didn’t like the high-regard in which he was held at the Bernabeu, he didn’t like him having friends in the Barcelona team, he didn’t like his girlfriend being a journalist, and he definitely did not like the way he disagreed with Mourinho’s tactics.
Diego Lopez was signed in the summer of 2012 and played much of the following season in goal instead.
RB: William Gallas
Gallas famously once said that he hated it when Claudio Ranieri played him at right-back for Chelsea. Sorry, William.

You would have had pretty short odds on Ramos clashing with him, however. There was that one time the defender pretended to forget who his own manager was in an interview, and also when he wore Mesut Ozil’s shirt after the German had been controversially subbed off.
Strange how this is probably the calmest of the beef Mourinho has been involved in.

CB: Ricardo Carvalho
It was sad to see the falling out take place between Mourinho and Carvalho, considering the pair had travelled from Porto to Chelsea together back in 2004.
However, Mourinho was not about to go easy on his compatriot. When Carvalho was unhappy at missing out on selection for the opening game of the 2005-06 season, Mourinho said the defender “seems to have problems understanding…
