Report: BBC football correspondent Jonathan Legard Archive: Mourinho's first season with Chelsea Last season they finished runners-up to Manchester United but won both the FA Cup and Carling Cup, a trophy they had also collected in 2005. His achievements also saw him voted as Premiership manager of the year in 2005 and 2006. MOURINHO'S CHELSEA RECORD 2 June, 2004 - Appointed manager 27 February, 2005 - Wins Carling Cup 3-2 v Liverpool 30 April, 2005 - Beat Bolton 2-0 to win Premiership title 4 May, 2005 - Signs new five-year contract 29 April, 2006 - Beat Man Utd 3-0 to win Premiership again 27 February, 2007 - Beat Arsenal 2-1 to win Carling Cup 19 May, 2007 - Win FA Cup by beating Man Utd 1-0 at Wembley 19 September, 2007 - Leaves Stamford Bridge However the Champions League trophy eluded the club and this season's campaign started with Tuesday's shock 1-1 result against the Norwegians in front of a crowd of just 24,973. It was their third successive game without a win following a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa and a goalless draw with Blackburn in the Premier League. Those results have left Chelsea fifth in the table - two points behind leaders Arsenal and with a visit to Manchester United to come on Sunday. He did have one unique record during his reign in never losing a home league game at Stamford Bridge.
