Chelsea's undoubted No1 before his appointment – and the acquisition of Petr Čech – Cudicini was subsequently a bit-part player at both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur FC. Carlo Cudicini 2004/05: three appearances One of only a few players for whom Mourinho's arrival spelled bad news. His crowning moment came back in London, at Wembley, with a dramatic clincher in the 2013 UEFA Champions League final.ĩ. Arjen Robben 2004/05: 18 appearances, seven goals The Dutch international never quite revealed his world-class potential in England, yet has subsequently won one league title with Real Madrid and three more at FC Bayern München.
Seemingly re-energised since his England retirement in 2012.Ĩ. Mourinho said the 34-year-old's showing in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Arsenal FC was the "best he had seen". John Terry 2004/05: 36 appearances, three goals More than 300 top-flight matches after that maiden Premier League title, Terry is still Chelsea's skipper and defensive bedrock. If the winger's loan to LOSC Lille offered promise, an 18-month return to West Ham United FC and present spell at Aston Villa FC have been disappointing in comparison.ħ. Joe Cole 2004/05: 28 appearances, eight goals An influential figure for Chelsea and England for years, Cole's career has never quite maintained its momentum since he swapped Chelsea for Liverpool FC in 2010. More illustrious interludes with Club Atlético de Madrid, Fenerbahçe SK and Paris Saint-Germain had followed his solitary campaign at Chelsea.Ħ. Mateja Kežman 2004/05: 25 appearances, four goals Another to have had a nomadic career since fleeing Mourinho's nest, the former Serbia striker retired after brief stints in Belarus and Hong Kong. Iceland's long-time talisman, 36, is back at his first English club Bolton Wanderers after sojourns in Barcelona (where he won the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League), Monaco, Athens and Bruges – to name but a few.ĥ.

Eidur Gudjohnsen 2004/05: 37 appearances, 12 goals Like many of his ex team-mates, forward Gudjohnsen has come full circle. Most recently plied his trade for Australia's Melbourne City, having retired from international duty with 100 Republic of Ireland caps.Ĥ. Though he also a key performer in 2005/06, the winger would subsequently have three seasons at Newcastle United FC and four at Fulham FC.
Damien Duff 2004/05: 30 appearances, six goals This was perhaps Duff's zenith. Nuno Morais 2004/05: two appearances Defensive midfielder Morais made just a smattering of appearances under Mourinho either side of a loan spell at CS Marítimo and left for APOEL FC in summer 2007. Now with AS Monaco FC, for whom he made six outings in the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League.Ģ. Ricardo Carvalho 2004/05: 25 league appearances, one goal A firm Mourinho favourite, the centre-back worked with his countryman at FC Porto, Chelsea and – after six years at Stamford Bridge – Real Madrid CF. We see where the nucleus of that squad is now, and discover that some – Mourinho included – have not gone far at all, geographically at least. The west Londoners triumphed 2-0 at Bolton Wanderers FC to earn the Portuguese the championship in his debut season in England. With Chelsea FC just a win away from regaining the Premier League title, winds the clock back ten years to the day when the Blues collected their first league crown under manager José Mourinho and only their second overall.
