This is what the Special One's Dream XI looks like!
Now here are the major players who are missing from the list.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC: Serie A, Premier League, La Liga, MLS, Ligue 1 ... the iconic Swede has been everywhere. Zlatan could have easily made it to the list skill-wise, but Jose seems to have other plans. | AP
SERGIO RAMOS: Real Madrid's influential captain was instrumental in Jose's plans at Bernabeu. | AP
MARCELO: Remember the famous El Clasico scuffle? Well, everything started with the Brazilian fouling Cesc Fabregas near the Barcelona dugout. Marcelo has always been a 100 percent player for the Los Blancos. Still, no place in the chart. | AP
SAMUEL ETO'O: Nobody can forget the Cameroonian's spell at San Siro, and Jose coached him for a season before the former moved on. Given Inter's legacy been attached with Jose, it was alright to think Eto'o might find a place. |AP
WESLEY SNEIDJER: It might come as a surprise to many that neither Diego Milito nor Wesley Sneijder, who were vital assets for his lifting of the UEFA Champions League in 2009-10. | AP
IKER CASILLAS: Iker is no lesser in technique or skill to Cech. The 'Saint' is a proven leader as well. It is easy to think that Mourinho went for the guy who guarded the net of the team more closer to his heart and hence had to drop the equally good Casillas. | AP
HARRY KANE: The most deserving candidate from his current team, Kane is yet to get a proper run under Mourinho's tenure due to injuries. If the gaffer decides to pick an all-time XI again, the English striker is likely to find a place. | AP
PAUL POGBA: Given the history, the lesser said, the better. The Frenchman's omission was anybody's guess. | AP
