Jose Mourinho has four Guinness World records hanging in his office.

Unfortunately he does not possess some curious skill - like the world's longest finger nails, or the ability to shoot a bow and arrow with his feet - the Portuguese's records were all won on the football pitch.

The four records, which now hang in his office at Chelsea's Cobham training ground, have been won in his brilliant managerial career that has brought eight league titles in four countries, a number of domestic cups and the Champions League twice.

Mourinho’s world records include: Most Points in a Premier League Season (95), Most Champions League’s Won at Different Clubs (two), Youngest Manager to Reach 100 Champions League Games (49 years 12 days) and Most Games Unbeaten at Home in the Premier League (77).

"The fact that I can hang these awards in my office is nice," he said. "It’s something fun and as a kid you could never imagine that one day you would be in Guinness World Records Book.

"I’m now more focused on winning the next game than on what I’ve done in the last 10 or 15 years."

A number of other sportsmen are in the record books, including tennis star Novak Djokovic, Mourinho's former players Frank Lampard and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as New Zealand fly half Dan Carter.
