When we were winners: Mourinho lifts the Carling Cup with Chelsea a year ago

A friend of Mourinho, who lifted the Carling Cup a year ago when they beat Arsenal 2-1 in the final, said: "Jose went to the cinema with his son and barely gave the game a thought.

"He was planning to go out at the time of the game anyway. When the Chelsea match was re-run later he switched between a Sporting Lisbon game and a match between Barcelona and Levante.

"Jose loved his time at Chelsea but his interest in the club ended when he left London."
