Netflix revealed the trailer for the new documentary series,MOURINHOwhich will launch globally on Netflix from11th August 2026.
No career in football has generated more masterstrokes, headlines or contradictions. Twenty years on from the night he shocked the sporting world by leading FC Porto to Champions League glory, José Mourinho has gone on to manage some of the biggest clubs on the planet — from Chelsea and Inter Milan to Real Madrid, where he has now returned.
Filmed over two years,MOURINHOtells the story of the man who revolutionised what it meant to be a football manager, charting his rise into one of football’s most trophy-laden and outspoken figures — winning league titles in four different countries and lifting the Champions League twice.
With exclusive access to Mourinho himself, alongside candid interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Didier Drogba, Marcelo, Samuel Eto’o, Javier Zanetti, Frank Lampard, Petr Čech and more of football’s greatest names — this three-part documentary goes beyond the headlines and the touchline theatrics to get under the skin of the “Special One.”
FromBECKHAMproducer and double Academy Award-winner John Battsek, and BAFTA and Emmy-nominated director Joe Pearlman (Robbie Williams; Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now),MOURINHOis a portrait of football’s ultimate contradiction: the winner the game can’t live without, and can’t always live with.
