The 44-year-old shocked Arsenal fans when he left his boyhood club for Jose Mourinho 's Blues‚ who had just won their second consecutive Premier League title in the summer of 2006. It came after a contract dispute with the Gunners left Cole feeling 'underappreciate and undervalued' when the club pulled an offer worth some £55‚000 a week after the European Championships of 2004.
Jose Mourinho has labelled one of his favourite former players a 'fatty guy' after reuniting with the midfielder in Amsterdam on Tuesday night. The Benfica boss‚ 62‚ travelled to the Dutch capital to take on Ajax in the Champions League‚ triumphing 2-0 thanks to goals from Samuel Dahl and Leandro Barreiro. The victory‚ Benfica's first in the competition this season‚ was not all that brought a smile to Mourinho's face on the night‚ as the Portuguese manager linked up with an old friend moments before the game.
Jose Mourinho has delivered one of his trademark post-match rants‚ even though his Benfica side ended up winning 2-0. The manager orchestrated the victory over Portuguese minnows Atletico CP but hammered his players afterwards‚ speaking about betrayal and declaring that he should have made nine substitutions at half time. In the end it was four players who ended up being hauled off before the second 45 minutes of the fourth-round cup game.
The right-sided Israeli defender spent just one season at Stamford Bridge‚ and was most often known for what he did off the pitch than what he did on it during his spell with The Blues. After a successful start to his career with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bolton Wanderers ‚ then-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho brought him to west London in 2007‚ and a delighted Ben Haim vowed that he would 'play in any position' for his new manager. But after Mourinho dramatically resigned in September that year‚ just three months after Ben Haim made the switch‚ the Stamford Bridge hotseat was given to Israel boss Grant.
Terry‚ 44‚ was at the heart of Jose Mourinho's formidable Blues side who conceded just 15 goals on their way to winning the Premier League title in the 2004-05 campaign. The record has been untouchable in the two decades since‚ with Chelsea themselves coming closest after conceding just 22 the following season‚ as well as Manchester United in 2007-08 and Liverpool in 2018-19. But talk of the feat being smashed is growing week on week‚ particularly the longer the likes of David Raya‚ William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães go with shutting out their opponents.
CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Jose Mourinho‚ and his teams‚ were always at their best when snarling and snapping. Here‚ he and Benfica were just too nice. The Especially Kind One arrived on Tyneside and spoke so warmly of Newcastle United‚ Eddie Howe‚ St James' Park and Sir Bobby Robson‚ the man who stoked his affection. Mourinho revealed that he spoke to Robson's bronze bust as entered the stadium on the eve of the game. That likeness of the former Newcastle boss might well have whispered 'thank you' as his former Barcelona assistant left the ground on Tuesday night.
