3. Leonardo Bonucci
Surprised, right? When did Mourinho coach Bonucci in the first place? Well, the story goes back to 2008, when a young Bonucci was bought by Inter Milan but the arrival of Mourinho saw him being loaned out to Treviso.
The next season, Bonucci again found it hard to make the first team with Mourinho’s options of Lucio, Samuel, Cordoba and Materazzi. The Italian was finally sold to Genoa in exchange for Diego Milito and Thiago Motta.
In 2010, Bonucci joined Juventus and has since become one of the best players in the world, winning loads of domestic title with the Bianconeri.
