Mourinho did it with Porto - and you could argue that was one of his most successful stops.
He managed from 2002-2004 for that team and built a squad of younger players - either through the internal system or through frugal transfers. It all peaked with them winning that Champions League in 2004.
It will be interesting to see how he does in a team that strives on developing from within, while also having deep pockets to go out and spend.
But yeah the De Bruyne and Lukaku moves should be worrying.
