Report: Chelsea will retain ownership of the name of Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho until 2025

According to The Athletic, Chelsea retain the ownership of Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho’s name until 2025 having trademarked it 15 years ago.

The Portuguese was deemed so marketable upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge from Porto that the Blues took the initiative in order to boost the sales of merchandise.

The Spurs boss is the only manager in Chelsea’s history that has his name trademarked.

As a result, while Tottenham club shop sells souvenirs like key rings and mugs that have pictures of Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dele Alli on them, a Tanguy Ndombele bobblehead and a Christian Eriksen fridge magnet, there is none that bears any semblance of Mourinho.
