I can't comment on Porto or Inter as I don't pay attention to either of those leagues but he didn't create a team at Madrid. Benzema, Alonso, Ronaldo, Kaka were all bought the season before he joined for stupid money. He's spent loads since then too, Madrid's transfer policy = throw enough sh1t and hope some of it sticks. I did originally post that Mourinho signed Ronaldo & co but then realised it was the season after those that he joined so edited this post.
Chelsea to be fair to them were not far off winning the league in 2004 under Ranieri and had he been given the same backing the following season instead of being sacked, there is no reason why they couldn't have won the league. I don't think Mancini is a good manager and he has proved that money buys success.
