A Clown named Mourinho in Stamford Bridge

The 42-year-old Portuguese, who worked at the Nou Camp under Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, won the Champions League with Porto last season and two EPL Championship back to back but unfortunately for this season,Mourinho's role as a 21st century team boss is facilitated by the fact that he speaks several languages, and he has also adopted a scientific view of coaching, sometimes asking his players to study videos of their own performances at home, while also working closely with dietary specialists. He also incorporates American-style management techniques into his coaching, giving pep-talks using 'buzzwords', and asking his players to sacrifice their personal ambitions for the success of the team.
His first season in charge of the team was eventful to say the least. After putting Roman Abramovich's money to good use by signing several high profile players, he made a name for himself as a highly composed, if controversial, manager. Despite suffering defeats in the Champions League semi-final and FA Cup Fifth Round, he steered his team to a Carling Cup victory and their first Championship in fifty years, losing only one match and securing the record for most points won in one year.
However, the season was marred by several high-profile disputes. In the Champions League Quarter-Final Second Leg, he accused Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard of 'influencing the referee' during the half-time break. This lead to a touchline ban during both leags of the semi-final against Bayern Munich. On the domestic front, meanwhile, he was accused of taunting Liverpool fans after his team took the lead in a tense and tight affair at the Millenium Stadium. No action was taken.
The most controversy, however, was reserved for a 'tapping up' scandal in the latter half of the season. After an FA inquiry into Chelsea's alleged unauthorised discussions with Arsenal's Ashley Cole, both Mourinho and Cole, along with the Chelsea board, were handed hefty fines.
Controversy aside, Mourinho's self-confidence, coupled with a large transfer kitty saw his side claim a second successive Barclays Premiership trophy in 05/06. However, success in the FA Cup and, more to the point, the Champions' League still eluded Mourinho as he watched his side crash out in the semi-finals and second round of the competitions respectivly.
Trouble again followed as the Portuguese boss called Arsene Wenger a "voyeur" and the Blues didn't always look the impenetrable force they had been in 04/05, losing to Manchester United, Middlesbrough and Fulham.

The Next Predator

Larsson started his professional career playing for Högaborg at the age of 17. He moved to Helsingborgs IF, where he showed his potential by scoring 50 goals in 56 appearances.
This sensational record attracted the attention of Feyenoord, who signed him for £295,000 in 1993.
After falling out with Feyenoord over a contract dispute, Celtic manager Wim Jansen was able to get his signature in July 1997 for a fee of £650,000. His debut was not great as he gave away the ball to Hibs player, Chic Charnley, who scored, resulting in a 2-1 loss.
Yet Larsson's career at Celtic was incredibly successful and he went on to score 242 goals for Celtic, in 315 matches, making him Celtic's third all-time record goal scorer (in all competitions).
Remarkably he also missed an entire season after breaking his leg in two places while playing in a UEFA Cup match against Lyon.
Larsson became one of Europe's most coverted strikers when he won the 'Golden Boot' in 2001, having scored 53 goals in all European competitions that year (30 in the SPL).
In 2003 he netted twice in the UEFA Cup Final, although Jose Mourinho's FC Porto went on to win the game 3-2.
Larsson is revered at Celtic, and is hailed as the best ever foreign player in the history of the Scottish League.
In the 2003/04 season he announced that he would not be renewing his contract when it finished at the end of the season. He scored twice to defeat Dunfermline Athletic and win the Scottish Cup in his last appearance for the club and was given a testimonial match against Sevilla.
Not content to retire, Larsson signed a one-year contract with Barcelona, with an option for a second year in 2003/04.
His first season was plagued by injury, although Barca still won the La Liga title.
Despite having missed most of the 2004-05 season, Barcelona took the option to extend his contract. In 2005-06 Larsson scored 10 goals as Barcelona won La Liga for a second consecutive year.
In January 2006, Larsson announced that at the end of his contract, which ended in July, he would leave Barcelona and return to Sweden to end his career with Helsingborg.
Larsson's impact at Barcelona would be seen in his final match, the Champions League final against Arsenal. With Barca down 1-0 and Arsenal down to ten men, Larsson arrived as substitute and set up both goals as the Spanish club came back to win 2-1 in the final stages.
Collecting his Champions League medal, Larsson left the club to head back to Sweden. He was accused of punching an opposing player in the stomach, in August and was suspended for 2 games.

The January transfer window gave Larsson another opportunity to shine as Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson announced his interest in taking the striker on loan.
United announced that Larsson would be on loan from January 2 until March 12, which coincides with the Swedish league's off season and he scored on his debut for Manchester United against Aston Villa in the FA Cup Third Round.
Larsson could stay with United until the end of the season with negotitations between Helsingborg on-going, although the Swedish side have insisted that Larsson will return by the agreed date.
