Mourinho docuseries coming to Netflix
July 15, 2026



Netflix has announced that its new José Mourinho docuseries, simply titled Mourinho, will launch globally on the streaming platform from August 11th.

No career in football has generated more masterstrokes, headlines or contradictions. Twenty years on from the night he shocked the sporting world by leading FC Porto to Champions League glory, Mourinho has gone on to manage some of the biggest clubs on the planet – from Chelsea and Inter Milan to Real Madrid, where he has now returned.


Filmed over two years, the 3-part series tells the story of the man who revolutionised what it meant to be a football manager, charting his rise into one of football’s most trophy-laden and outspoken figures — winning league titles in four different countries and lifting the Champions League twice.

With exclusive access to Mourinho himself, alongside candid interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Didier Drogba, Marcelo, Samuel Eto’o, Javier Zanetti, Frank Lampard, Petr Čech and more — this series goes beyond the headlines and the touchline theatrics to get under the skin of ‘The Special One’.

From Beckham producer and double Academy Award-winner John Battsek, and BAFTA and Emmy-nominated director Joe Pearlman, Mourinho is a portrait of football’s ultimate contradiction: the winner the game can’t live without, and can’t always live with.
