18 years have passed since the day Chelsea appointed Jose Mourinho as coach, who led them to three championships and additional titles, with a battery of players who became stars under him.
18 years is also enough time to forgive, but not in the case of the one who witnessed Mourinho's arrival to the blues star, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, now 50 years old, who said in an interview with the BBC: "He was a brilliant, mesmerizing coach then, but he never It wasn't 'the special one'."

The reason for the thorniness is that Hasselbaink was thrown out of Chelsea by Mourinho, and since then, at the end of his career, he has only played in small teams in England.
"I was really disgusted," Hasselbaink emphasizes his feeling after Mourinho released him from Chelsea, "I have no doubt that they influenced him, they told him I was problematic, and he decided to release me without exchanging a word with me."
Hasselbaink, who today coaches Burton Albion from League 1 (the third division in England), concludes: "Although they brought a battery of excellent strikers, led by Didier Drogba, I think I could have been part of this great team. I was prevented from winning the championship with Chelsea."
