Despite a shambolic start to the
2015/2016 premier league season, Jose Mourinho has something celebrate.
The Chelsea manager is now a recipient of five records in the 2016
Guinness Book of World Records.
The 52-year-old won the record for longest unbeaten home run by a manager. The 151 games spanned across his nine years with four different clubs.
He also won the record for being one of five coaches who has won the UEFA Champions League with more than one club having won it with Portuguese side, Porto and Serie A side, Inter Milan.
The Portuguese also holds the record of youngest manager to reach the 100 Champions League games milestone at the age of 49 years and 12 days.
The former Real Madrid boss can also boast of the record of highest points in a premier league season (95 points) with Chelsea in the 2004/2005 season.
Jose Mourinho was presented with the awards at his Cobham office. He expressed gratitude for the awards but made it clear that he was focused on his future achievements as against basking in the euphoria of past glory.
“The fact they gave me the awards in a way that I can put them up in my office is nice.”
“It’s something fun and as a kid you could never imagine that one day you would be in the Guinness Book of Records.
“You know me, these awards are for something I did in the past and obviously it’s nice, but for me what’s more important is what I can do in the future,” the controversial manager stated.
