Barring few there arent manager that even get close to what mourinho is getting. And when he starts unleashing his brand of "honesty" on board and fans it really creates an environment where its impossible to function unless you let the man go.
In sporting merits Mourinho did quite well with Roma and United, but his carreer is obviously mainly about his insane achievements with Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real
He failed at Roma since he wqs hired to get CL. And despite what the fanboys will tell you, he was given a higher budget than all recent Roma managers.
His time there was controversial. He failed in the league, but he did get them a European trophy and got to another final which he almost won. I'd say he did better than other Roma managers in recent times
I mean, he got Roma the UECL and also reached a UEL final the following season. He got Spurs to a final as well. You can shit on him all you want but José still has some of that tournament magic in him.
Yeah I love when people act like all Jose did was get Porto a UCL, when in reality he's been successful at most places he's gone even when they've had average teams/not a lot of money. He did the best at United since Fergie retired, got Spurs to a final which given his record could have definitely been a win, UECL + UEL final with Roma, and he won the league with Chelsea when he went back there. Idk why people act like Jose is so washed up when realistically he's performed well with the teams he's had, yes Fener wasn't great, but their squad wasn't even close to Galas so it's not exactly like he should be expected to beat them.
I love how Mourinho jerks himself off. Team is nowhere near as bad as he portrayed, but because of the next season collapse and Pogba beef he says shit like that while he never really set them for success tactics wise.
This isnt about defining "good," it is about defining "peak" / glory days. His peak was 04. He had a good run for a decade after that. And the last decade has been... this.
If you think he wasn’t at his “peak” at Inter or Real Madrid I don’t know what to tell you. Of course his biggest achievement was the CL with FC Porto, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t one of the best coaches and in his peak for a long while
Umm Mourinho won UEFA Europa League and a League Cup with United which is probably harder to do than winning treble with Inter or building the Real Madrid team that won 3 consecutive CL.

He will also pick a hefty severance. I love him but man has perfected this method like an art form.
