JAKARTA - Jose Mourinho called himself "The BIGges One" as he reflected on his history of breaking records with Chelsea before returning to Stamford Bridge, but as a guest.
The coach who calls himself "The Special One" is back with Benfica for the Champions League match on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, early morning WIB, and he repeated his famous old sentence to describe the atmosphere.
Mourinho anticipates there will be no hostility from Chelsea supporters as he seeks to revive his term at Benfica, 11 days after Fenerbahce was sacked at the end of August 2025.
However, that doesn't always happen when he returns to Stamford Bridge. The lowest point came when he was criticized as Manchester United's manager during a defeat in the FA Cup in May 2018.

Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles with Chelsea in two terms, stressed why he claimed The Biggest One.
The Portuguese coach said that the nickname was worthy because only he won the most titles with the Blues.
He even revealed that until another manager can win four league titles aka exceed him, then no one has the right to claim to be the best manager.
"Chelsea is a winning machine that in the last two or three years has had a trophyless moment. However, Chelsea won something before my time and then we started winning."
"Then my team continued to win and transform a new team, a new coach, more trophies, European trophies, the biggest and Champions League."
"So Chelsea is the winning machine. I am the biggest until someone wins four titles," Mourinho said on Monday, September 29, 2025, evening local time, during a press conference reported by The Guardian.
Mourinho has returned to Stamford Bridge with Inter, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur. His only win in seven attempts was achieved with Inter in 2009/2010 on his way to winning the Champions League.
The warmth radiated from him during his speech at the Drake Suite Stamford Bridge, which was decorated with giant framed photos of himself celebrating each of the three Premier League titles he won.
Mourinho's family home remains near there, in southwest London, and he says his son comes every weekend to the stadium.
