LONDON (Reuters) - If 'Jose Mourinho, The Chelsea Sequel' had been a London West End theatre production on Monday, some of the audience may have left their seats by the intermission as the 'Special One' turned into the 'Cautious One'.

The outspoken Portuguese manager arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2004 amid a blaze of publicity, describing himself as 'A champion, not one of the bottle' and arrogantly forecasting the club's first top-flight title for 50 years.
