After winning the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup within three years of joining Stamford Bridge, Cahill continues to hold the record for the quickest player to win every major trophy in club football. Despite his success, things weren’t always easy at Chelsea; the defender had previously been humiliated in front of his colleagues by the club’s former boss, Jose Mourinho.
During an Instagram Live session with snooker legend Stephen Hendry, John Terry, Cahill’s former defensive partner, stated that Mourinho had threatened to spend £100 million on two new center backs in a single training session. Tim said: “The first day of preseason after winning the league, Gary Cahill and I kept losing the ball.
“The session was halted by Mourinho. Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, and a few more were players we had signed. You two, if you keep giving the ball away, I’ll go spend £100 million on a couple of more center-backs, he said. We exchanged “Oh wow” looks as we observed one another.
