Spurs vs Chelsea: Jose Mourinho record vs Chelsea with Man United, Spurs
Mourinho enjoyed two successful spells with Chelsea, decorated with three Premier League titles. But his record against the Blues hasn't been impressive, to say the least. Mourinho has come up against the Stamford Bridge outfit on 13 occasions since he first left the club in 2007.
He did succeed in bagging two successive victories against Chelsea over two legs with Inter Milan in the Champions League in 2010. But he has largely failed to continue with the scintillating form. He was brutally humiliated by Chelsea during his first clash as a Manchester United manager.
The 58-year-old has faced Chelsea on seven occasions while with the Red Devils and has racked up just two victories. Most recently, Mourinho managed against Chelsea in December 2019 when he was appointed the manager at Tottenham. And he suffered again, with Willian's brace proving sufficient enough to humiliate the Portuguese.
