People tend to overlook Mourinho's achievements with Porto when making this argument. Taking them to the CL was a stunning achievement imo, and has earnt him the right to take the subsequent jobs he has taken.
Winning the CL with Porto was no doubt a tremendous achievement but again Porto were consistent trophy winners/champions in Portugal when he took them over.
I'd really like to see him, at some stage of his career, take over a mid-table side and see what he can do with them. If he's successful at Madrid, it's hard to see what other real challenges are out there for him other than that.
