Sir Bobby Robson's son had a precious piece of hand luggage he needed to get back in one piece - a Ballon d'Or world coach of the year award. The gong was donated by Jose Mourinho for a charity auction in the name of his late mentor in 2011. It went on to help raise 26,000 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which aims to find more effective ways to detect and treat cancer.

That's the worst situation I've dealt with in terms of abuse,

Chelsea will host Benfica and Jose Mourinho in tonight's UCL action at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho will return to Chelsea, where he won 3 Premier League titles, including two back-to-back, three League Cups, and an FA Cup in two spells in charge of the club. Chelsea come into this game off the back of a disappointing 3-1 home loss to Brighton at the weekend, where goals from Danny Welbeck & Maxim De Cuyper sank the Blues.

The team bus was making its way down the motorway, the atmosphere relaxed. Cards could be heard being slapped on tables. Pizarro was sitting with some teammates when his mobile suddenly rang. He didn't know the number, but he immediately recognised the voice on the line. It was José Mourinho. "I quickly fled into the little kitchen to take the call," Pizarro recalls in our new exclusive website series LEGACY - The Voice of Legends. The coach wanted to sign him, and the Peruvian quickly made the decision to move to Chelsea.

West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez has joined Turkish club Fenerbahce on loan with an option to make the move permanent next summer. The Mexico international, 27, joined the Hammers in a 35m deal from Dutch side Ajax in 2023. He has made 73 appearances for the club, scoring two goals and assisting three. Alvarez was an unused substitute in West Ham's opening Premier League defeat at Sunderland but was not part of the squad for Friday's 5-1 home defeat by Chelsea.

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his condolences by sharing a poignant picture of Jorge Costa on social media, captioned "Ate sempre Jorge Costa," conveying a bond that transcends even loss.
