JOSE MOURINHO’S upcoming Netflix documentary will look at his two-and-a-half-year stint at Manchester United.
A four-part series on Mourinho’s 25-year-long management career is set to be released in January 2025.
Mourinho, 60, is one of the most decorated managers in football.
With two Champions League titles, three Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two Serie A titles and a La Liga title among his accolades, Mourinho has become a household name.
But Sir Alex Ferguson questioned Mourinho to succeed him in 2013 before “the Special One” became United manager in May 2016.
The Portuguese led the Red Devils to League Cup glory and a Europa League double in his first season, assisting United back en route into the Champions League.
The following term United finished second and made it to the FA Cup final before the Glazer family failed to back Mourinho.
Mourinho was sacked in December 2018 with United sixth and 11 points away from fourth in the Premier League table.
And now fans will be given a look into his life beyond the dugout in a new Netflix documentary.
But Mourinho admitted there will be one scene where viewers will think he is a “total idiot”.

He said: “I’ll give you some news, a documentary about me starts on Netflix, it’s a documentary about my career.
“There are things that will only be known there, they pay me well. I hadn’t signed with Roma yet, but I had given my word.
“A club came along and wanted me to break my agreement with Roma, which hadn’t yet been signed, and I said no.
“When the documentary comes out everyone will say I’m a total idiot.
“When Portugal arrived I immediately told the president about it.
“When Saudi Arabia arrived I immediately told the president about it.
“This is why I don’t think they talk to other coaches behind my back, for me it’s not like that because there is reciprocity.”
Mourinho who joined Roma in 2021 led them to their first piece of silverware in 11 years after winning the Europa Conference League was sacked earlier this year.
However, he is still the most successful United manager in the post-Ferguson era.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and David Moyes had trophyless spells while Louis van Gaal won the FA Cup and Erik ten Hag secured the club’s sixth League Cup last term.
