Mourinho back in Porto

PORTO, Portugal -- As you walk into FC Porto's museum at the distinctive Estadio do Dragao, a familiar figure, who also has Chelsea connections, immediately confronts you. But it is not the one you might expect.

The entrance to the exhibit features several silver-coloured statues of key figures from Porto's history and the first is Andre Villas-Boas. Jose Mourinho is next but he is one of many in a flat arms-by-shoulders pose, as opposed to the proactive stance of Villas-Boas, who magisterially points the way forward.

It is one of a few conspicuous aspects about the current Chelsea manager's return to the home of his first great success, as the English champions take on Porto in the Champions League.
