ONLY 2MEN HAVE WON LEAGUE TITLES IN ENG, SPAIN AND ITALY?
Joseph Omoniyi
Only two men have won major league titles in England, Spain and Italy. They are Cristiano Ronaldo as a player and Jose Mourinho as a manager.
Ronaldo who joined English club, Manchester United in 2003/2004 season, had to wait for 4 years before winning the English Premier League with the Red Devils in 2007/2008 and then again in the 2008/2009 season.
The former world player of the year also lifted the Spanish league with Real Madrid in 2011/2012 and 2016/2017 before exiting the club in controversial circumstances to join the Italian giants, Juventus with whom he has now won his third domestic league championship.
Mourinho is another man who achieved this feat as a manager.
The Portuguese won top division league trophies with Porto (2002/2003; 2003/2004), Chelsea (2004/2005; 2005/2006, 2014/2015), Inter Milan (2008/2009; 2009/2010) and Real Madrid (2011/2012).
