Former manager of Chelsea soccer club Jose Mourinho, right, arrives at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium in London, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007, after his sudden departure Wednesday. Mourinho, the self-proclaimed 'Special One' who led the Blues to its first league title in 50 years, left a day after his team was held to a 1-1 draw by visiting Rosenborg on Tuesday in the Champions League. Although the colorful, outspoken and talented coach, who reportedly was paid 6.5 million pounds (US$13 million, 9.2 million) per year, won two straight Premier Leagues, the FA Cup and two League Cups, he failed to bring European soccer's biggest title to Chelsea.(AP Photo/Akira Suemori)
