Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and Pedro Pinto to reminisce on Jose Mourinho's trailblazing Porto side. The panel look back on a time when this young, refreshing coach from Portugal turned Porto into world beaters, winning the UEFA Cup, 2 Primeira Liga's, 2 Portuguese cups and eventually the Champions League, with a talented side more attacking than you remember. His European success, his way with words and his iconic touchline celebration at Old Trafford were most people in the UK's introduction to Mou, in what would become a long and unforgettable career. It could have all been so different too; it was 25 years ago this month that Mourinho got that first managerial role at Benfica but they let him go and the rest is history.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. In this episode, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright are joined by former Leeds and Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to look back on a career packed with goals, big moments and unforgettable stories, as well as his time as a national team coach and manager in the EFL. We start with Jimmy’s early career, from growing up playing football to his big break in Portugal. How did he make his way to England and what challenges did he overcome along the journey? The conversation then turns to his time at Leeds United, how he adapted to Premier League life, the teammates who pushed him to become one of the club’s top scorers, and the controversy around his exit from Elland Road which saw him move to Atlético Madrid. Jimmy recalls his return to England, leading the line for Chelsea and later Middlesbrough, where he worked with Gareth Southgate. That connection eventually led to him joining Southgate’s coaching staff for Euro 2024. We dive into the tournament itself. Where did England go wrong, and was playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield too big a gamble? Looking ahead, we also discuss Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England prepare for the future.

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Tom Williams on that most blessed of occasions - international week. Thomas Tuchel gets ready for his first game as England manager in World Cup qualifying and we’re all very impressed with how he’s handled the media so far. The Nations League quarter-finals see Germany win in Italy and Croatia overcome France thanks to another ridiculously good Luke Modric performance. Belgium lose a 4th game in a row in what was Rudi Garcia’s 4th match in charge. Which makes us wonder why French managers aren’t coaching at elite club level anymore?

This week. It Was What It Was asks: What is it with Portuguese football? With Ruben Amorim arriving at Manchester United, there are now as many Premier League managers from Portugal as from England coaching this season. Portugal also has the fourth highest-quota of Premier League players (after England, Brazil and France). For a nation of just over 10 million, it consistently punches above its weight. Amorim’s rise to one of the biggest jobs in world football is located in the reform of Portuguese football in the 1980s - and specifically in the university faculty that helps turn out some of the world’s best coaches. Join Jonathan and Rob as we go back to school with Ruben Amorim, speaking to the mentors who forged him as a coach. It's a journey that takes in Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and super agent Jorge Mendes.
