Phil Harrison Guardian Aug 12, 2026
3/5
For a while, this high wire act is gripping. But the patterns embodied by Mourinho’s managerial career soon become a little limiting for documentary purposes. Go to Full Review

There is more Mourinho left to discover but this is robust and hugely enjoyable stuff. Go to Full Review
Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Aug 27, 2026
3/5
The overall production lacks the dramatic edge that one would expect from a series about such a talented and polarizing figure. [But] football fans will still find Mourinho interesting even if they're not completely captivated by the story it tells. Go to Full Review
Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Aug 18, 2026
Considering the tedious genre of soft-ball, glossy documentaries, Mourinho’s flinty lack of cooperation is almost laudable. Nevertheless, this is a missed opportunity to understand the man behind the manager. Go to Full Review
Rohan Naahar The Federal Aug 14, 2026
A colourful portrait of one of football’s most complicated characters, Netflix’s Mourinho finds "The Special One" in characteristically charismatic form. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
Mourinho exposes an almost uncontrollable ego. The documentary reveals a lot about why Mourinho is revered by many and reviled by others. Go to Full Review

Stewart F @stewartflaherty Sep 18, 2026 Compelling and interesting character, story told well with the sports highlights really adding cinematic effect. I am a. fan of Mourinho, fully enjoyed this and it shows well why some are, and some are not fans. See more Harish N @harish_napa Aug 21, 2026 The docuseries delivers a stylish, sharp, and intensely captivating retrospective on one of football's most polarising and iconic figures. Spanning his legendary rise from Porto to the heights of Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, the narrative explores the immense tactical brilliance, ruthless winning mentality, and sheer psychological warfare that redefined modern management. Mourinho commands every scene with his signature magnetic presence and unfiltered reflections, balancing his immense ego with glimpses of raw vulnerability. The editing keeps the entire run moving at a brisk, electrifying pace, driven by iconic archival footage and high drama. While a few later managerial stints feel somewhat condensed to keep the focus strictly on his glory years, the sheer entertainment value, fiery clashes, and fascinating character study make the series a must watch for sports fans. See more Frank A @Frank8888 Aug 15, 2026 The special one indeed. Although most of this info is already out there in the public eye, it was worth a watch. Jose is a flawed genius ( or was maybe )…. The show could have gone deeper into his time at Spurs and Man U. 8/10 See more Stephen O @RT81996792 Aug 11, 2026 Well written, well documented, and beautifully produced. This is the best I have ever seen of him: genuine, raw, vulnerable, and, more importantly, truly special. You should definitely watch this documentary. See more Read all reviews
