Jose Mourinho has become the first manager
in football history, to take his career transfer
spending past £1billion.
The Manchester United manager, passed that
landmark during the current window, when he
signed Romelu Lukaku for £75million from
Everton.

A breakdown of Mourinho’s all-time spending,
shows he has now spent just over £1.1bn in 17
years as a boss.
His nemesis in Spain and current cross-city
rival in Manchester, Pep Guardiola, has spent
£859m, in a little over half the time.
Mourinho and Guardiola are both considered
among the all-time great managers, although
both have had massive resources to play with
for much of their managerial careers.
The only other manager who comes close to
their spending is Bayern Munich manager
Carlo Ancelotti, with Chelsea one of nine clubs
he has managed in 22 years, spending £970m
