Jose Mourinho Named The All Time XI Of Players He's Worked With

Jose Mourinho picked his all time XI based on players he has managed, and there's no room for anyone he managed at Manchester United.

Since first catapulting himself into our consciousness in 2003 by winning the UEFA Cup with Porto, in a controversial friendly against Celtic, Mourinho has managed some of the best players of the generation.

He has won major honours at Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and Manchester United along the way and is now hoping for more silverware with Tottenham Hotspur in the future.

Despite winning League Cup and Europa League glory with United, as well as the Community Shield in what Jose considered a treble, he didn't pick anyone he worked with at Old Trafford for his all time XI.

Speaking to AS back in March, the 57-year-old revealed his side:

GK: Petr Cech

RB: Javier Zanetti

CB: John Terry

CB: Ricardo Carvalho

LB: Ashley Cole

MF: Claude Makelele

MF: Frank Lampard

MF: Mesut Ozil

FW: Eden Hazard

FW: Cristiano Ronaldo

FW: Didier Drogba

It's an understandable team when you consider what they've won with Mourinho in charge, although Wesley Sneijder will probably feel hard done by.

Carvalho and Zanetti are the only two players he won the Champions League with, despite winning it with both Porto and Inter.

However there's plenty of league title wins and cup wins around the team.
