All-time XI managed by Jose Mourinho

Midfielders - Claudio Makelele, Frank Lampard, Wesley Sneijder

Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League

In the heart of the midfield, Claudio Makelele's contribution will remain under-appreciated for years to come but the French international was a vital cog of Mourinho's set up at Chelsea. The defensive midfielder sealed a move to the Blues from Real Madrid, much to the displeasure of compatriot Zinedine Zidane but since making the move to England, Makelele's performance in the base of the midfield allowed the likes of Frank Lampard and Deco to flourish in the final third of the pitch.

Frank Lampard is arguably the greatest midfielder in Premier League history and the Englishman's inclusion should come as no surprise. Aside from the fact that he lead the Blues when called upon, Lampard's ability to make late runs into the box made him a serial matchwinner for Mourinho. The former West Ham man was recognised for his incredible individual performances numerous times in his career, most notably in 2005 when he came within touching distance of winning the then FIFA Ballon, eventually finishing second behind Ronaldinho.

Wesley Sneijder's exploits in the Inter Milan's treble-winning season will be remembered for years to come and the Dutchman lead from the front in 2009, as Mourinho oversaw one of the most historic seasons in the Nerrazurri's illustrious history. Sneijder's match-winning ability from the centre of the park made him a vital cog of Mourinho's set-up and he was recognized for his exploits for club and country that season, as he joined Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the podium for the Ballon d'Or in 2010.
