Mourinho was displayed as the new coach of Real in May 2010. The 11th manager in seven years at the club, the Portuguese was given a four-year contract at the Bernabeu.
Jose Mourinho made several signings in his first summer at the Bernabeu with Germany's World Cup star Mesut Ozil being arguably the most successful
The first El Clasico of Mourinho's Real reign was a disaster - his Madrid side lost 5-0 at Nou Camp to a rampant Barcelona, a sign of the work that needed to be done in the Spanish capital
The Special One did win a trophy in his first season in charge - a 1-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. It was the first Copa for Madrid in 18 years and the club's first piece of silverware in three years
In 2012 Mourinho's side amassed 100 points in La Liga and a positive goal difference of 89, wrenching the title from Barcelona in the process. Their Catalan rivals were left nine points behind them in second
Mourinho had a fractious relationship with Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola in his first two seasons with Real, with the pair winning one La Liga title each during that time
However, the 2012-13 season proved less successful for Mourinho, with Real struggling for form and surrendering their domestic title to Barcelona, as well as being eliminated 4-3 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semis.
