Staying In

Watch Mourinho

The World Cup may be over and the Euros still two years away, but there’s plenty of content to tide fans of the beautiful game over in the meantime. And if you enjoyed Netflix’s 2023 Beckham documentary, you are in for a treat with MOURINHO. Retiring from football playing aged just 24 after an uneventful career in the Portuguese leagues, it would soon become clear that José Mourinho was a far worthier asset on the sidelines. Two decades ago, he shocked the sporting world by leading FC Porto to Champions League glory, and he has since gone on to win league championships in four countries, as well as two European Cups with two clubs and all three UEFA club competitions – all as a manager. His work from Chelsea to Inter Milan and Real Madrid has come to redefine what it means to be a football manager in the big leagues. Netflix’s new three-part docuseries, streaming in full from today, charts Mourinho’s rise into the outspoken, bombastic manager we know today. Mourinho himself features, as do Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Marcelo, Frank Lampard and more of football's greatest names. Streaming now, netflix.com
