If the answer is something like "He won the u20 world cup" or "He played with Kaka at Soccer Aid" then it's not a real answer as far as I'm concerned.

Could it be someone who was part of the coaching staff?
If there's someone from the 1994 Brazil squad who lasted long enough to play with Kaka and Robinho and then became part of Mourinho's coaching team then that'd almost certainly be your guy, but I think at this point it's safe to assume either the question is a noise up or whoever made it has ballsed up one of the criteria.
If he was a coach he wasn't managed by Mourinho.
The coaches are still technically managed by the manager. I'm looking at ways to skirt the language so an answer can be provided and I can get on with my life.
Let me distract you with this:
Which member of the royal family has been managed by Alex Ferguson and also been convicted for manlsaughter?
I was going to say Ralph Little, but I don't think he's killed anyone.
Has Sralex owned a horse called Princess Margaret which kicked a stable boy in?
Stuart Taylor, the former Arsenal 'keeper, has been a pro footballer since 1997. How many league games has he played?
About 50?
It's a shit question, so I'll give you the answer.
You were close, it's 75.
I'm surprised it's that many to be honest.
What are the three countries with the smallest population to produce a European Cup/Champions League winning player (by registered FIFA nationality)?
This is easily cheated, but it'd be nice if you didn't.
Kaladze is the first that springs to mind - how small is Georgia?
I bet Gudjonsen is up there too, given how sparsely populated Iceland is
Georgia has at least one in Kaladze but I'm not sure that's small enough. I bet there's a Caribbean nation in there but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Edit: I was in the reply box for too long. I'm sure Iceland will be one, it's only about 250k or something.
Not small enough.Quote:

Bonus internet points if you can name the player or players for each country, incidentally.
Dwight Yorke for Trinidad & Tobago?
Can't believe I didn't think of Yorke.
Given you're asking for the countries rather than the players, are we unlikely to get the 3rd?
Might be showing my ignorance here, but isn't Croatia tiny? I remember when they beat us a few years ago people said it was smaller than some cities here.
Northern Ireland - Georgie Best?
Trinidad and Tobago is another one. The largest of the three countries, in fact.
The third is a little (lot) more obscure. Nobody's got it yet. I can supply the year, if a clue is needed.
EDIT: I think Northern Ireland is #4 on this particular list.
Did some San Marinese fella sneak in?
Bonini for Juve was San Marinese. Won it in 85 I think
That's the one.
San Marino (pop 31,500): Massimo Bonini
Iceland (pop 323,000): Eidur Gudjohnsen
Trinidad and Tobago (pop 1.34 million) : Dwight Yorke
Inspired by a Pointless question, I've just discovered the 5 countries with the largest sheep populations(as of 2012).
Any takers?
Australia
New Zealand
Argentina
South Africa
UK
edit: Maybe France instead of Argentina

U.S of A for sheer mass of land. Morocco maybe too?
Central African Republic.
Wales.
none of them
Hang on a minute. Lamb madras. India and Pakistan.
India.
Dammit, Jimmy.

Jimmy already guessed that. @Giggles
You get sheep up in the likes of Ethiopia. That's my best guess in Africa.
Has anyone said Mexico?
