Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o, and... Nuno Valente? After Nemanja Matic linked up with Jose Mourinho for the THIRD time at Roma, which other stars have been signed more than once by the Special One - and how did they get on?

It was a case of better the devil you know for Nemanja Matic after he signed for a Jose Mourinho team for the third time this week.

The Serbian midfielder joined Serie A side Roma on a free transfer on Tuesday after his contract expired at Manchester United this summer.

That move marks the third time Matic has linked up with Mourinho - despite the 33-year-old midfielder admitting it's 'not always easy' working with the 'Special One'.

But the Portuguese boss does have history signing certain trusted players and has be known to bring several reliable stars to multiple clubs he has managed.
