José Mourinho’s name has resurfaced in connection with Real Madrid amid the club’s recent struggles, but the statistics reveal a stark reality: his overall win rate has declined sharply since leaving the Santiago Bernabéu, and he has never regained the dominant form he displayed during his tenure with the Spanish giants.
Although more than a decade has passed since Mourinho departed Madrid, he remains a figure of nostalgic authority and competitive respect among the club’s supporters. Yet the numbers indicate a clear downward trajectory that has persisted across his subsequent managerial roles.
The most successful period of Mourinho’s career was unquestionably at Real Madrid. Between 2010 and 2013, he oversaw 178 official matches, winning 128, drawing 28, and losing just 22, resulting in a remarkable win rate of 71.91% — the highest of his managerial career at any club.
Since leaving Madrid, Mourinho has taken charge of Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Roma, Fenerbahçe, and Benfica. Across 610 official matches with these clubs, he has recorded 339 wins, 135 draws, and 136 losses, translating to a win rate of 55.57% — more than 16 percentage points lower than his peak at Real Madrid.
