His Inter Milan team have beaten the top two favourites in the betting in Barcelona and Chelsea and now find themselves up against Manchester United’s conquerors Bayern Munich.
These two giants of the European game have been in the shadows of the English and Spanish sides in recent seasons, but now have the chance to set the record straight.
Both managers have won the Champions League before, so one will join an elite list of managers who’ve won it with two different teams come Saturday evening.
Despite no English representation in the final there is still plenty of anticipation. Mourinho is obviously one factor, but so too is Arjen Robben who after Lionel Messi has arguably been the best player in Europe this season.
If Bayern are to break down Inter they need a reliant Robben, with FourFourTwo's betting partner Paddy Power having the Germans at 21/10 to win the final inside 90 minutes.
But Inter Milan have the favourites tag and will be hard to break down - it’s 5/4 that the Italians win it for the first time since the great Inter side of 1965.
