Jose Mourinho - First Steps to Glory

As one of the three England premier domestic competitions, League Cup   is a cherished prize for many director in its 50-year zgodovini.Pri some new bosses, the League Cup glory to help kickstart a new era of success in the new club. In this series, FootballFanCast focuses on a few managers, who first tasted fame in his new job as a winner of the League Cup, and what they are going to be implemented.

English football is not really ready for Jose Mourinho. Portugal, who won Europe arrived in Porto Chelsea in summer 2004 proclaiming himself the "Special One" and promised in the air impenetrable self-confidence that will bring Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire continental dominance so coveted. In many ways, egotistical Mourinho was the perfect leader to work for the owner, to the world.

Showers of silver, which was followed by the Stamford Bridge began later in Mourinho's debut campaign - and this is a special one just eight months to ensure his first trophy with 3-2 extra time win over Liverpool in the League Cup final in February 2005th It was the culmination of the campaign, in which Mourinho has largely bucked the emerging trend of Premier League teams fielding young side in the competition, as their path to the final was hardly afford.

Chelsea progressed in the early rounds by eliminating Premier League rivals West Ham and Newcastle, the 2-1 victory over Fulham in the quarterfinals them up for a two-legged semi-final against Manchester United. The public rivalry between Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson, who viewed the Portuguese as his later arch-rival has already started, so when the two sides played in the goalless draw at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea to come up with victory in Manchester Mourinho cherished victory.

Due to their heavy schedule, Chelsea League Cup adventure was to ensure no rest for the regular starters. Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Damien Duff has appeared in all six games in the team competition with Claude Makela, Mateja Kežman, William Gallas, Didier Drogba and Paulo Ferreira, among those to at least four appearances. All of these players appear in at least 40 games during the year.

Finally itself did not go exactly as planned. John Arne Riis scored the fastest goal in the history of the League Cup, placing Reds forward after only one minute, and it was not until 10 minutes after that the Polish stopper Jerzy Dudek Liverpool beat misplaced header from his own captain Steven Gerrard. Scrambled Drogba and ends with a moment of opportunism Kežman secured Chelsea executives and even the head Antonio Nunez 'man Mourinho is held to secure the first title for a new manager.

At a time when the other team that uses the League Cup blood younger players and experiment with different compositions showed mentality Mourinho, who are regular visitors to rest Chelsea Sun Cup Championships (with one or two exceptions, including Petr Cech and John Terry) . After six trophies in two years at Porto, Mourinho has used to win. This is a feature that his team dear assembly brought with him from all over Europe, and the one you did not expect to break.

After their triumph in the League Cup, Chelsea then eliminate Premier League title, and that it successfully defended the following year. As well as the FA Cup and the Community Shield crown, Mourinho would also raise the trophy in the league, second in 2007, when Drogba inspired beat Arsenal return.

Today is universal Mourinho admired as one of the world's best managers. His approach is still divided opinion, but his record of winning trophies - five in the first two seasons at Inter, three so far in the possession of the Real Madrid - will determine when his career is more than one of the top managers of modern times . For three time world WSM Manager of the year it all began - in England - at least in the League Cup.

Roberto Di Matteo has already stepped out of the shadow of his predecessor, and what better way to complete the process as win this year's Capital One Cup? Chelsea are in the driving seat and you'll be mad to write or without him "The Special One".
