Jose Mourinho, once idolized by Chelsea fans, appears to have lost love from the Blues faithful. The Special One returned to Stamford Bridge on Monday for an FA Cup tie, and received an unfriendly welcome from portions of the stand.
The Portuguese tactician was taunted by the supporters who once chanted his name with love and pride. Mourinho received this abuse as he watched his current club lost 1-0 and crash out of the cup.
The immediate success enjoyed under Antonio Conte, accompanied by Jose’s abysmal last season with Chelsea, has seen the club’s faithful forget all about Mourinho’s achievements. The Special, however, was quick to remind them what he won for the Blues.
The 54-year-old raised three fingers in the direction of the abusive supporters, referring the three Premier League titles he won as Chelsea manager – making him the club’s most successful boss. After the final whistle, Mourinho issued an epic response to those fans.
After being branded Judas, Jose quickly pointed that Judas is Chelsea best manager in history. He said (as per the Daily Mail): “They can call me what they want. I am a professional. I defend my club.
“Until the moment they have a manager that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'm the No 1. When they have somebody who wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'll be No 2. For this moment, Judas is No 1.”
