Mourinho on Netflix, FC Versailles opens up again, France v Italy 2006 revisited | OneFootball

Three sports documentaries land this week, led by Netflix’s José Mourinho, Canal+ series Le Club at FC Versailles, and France TV on France v Italy 2006.

According to L'Équipe, Netflix offers three hour-long episodes retracing Mourinho’s career at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United, and his outsized persona. Contributors include Sir Alex Ferguson, Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It leans into his media magnetism and readiness to be hard with rivals, owners, notably Roman Abramovich, and some players. Now at Real Madrid, he presents himself as a driver of attention and sales, while keeping his private life off limits. When his father’s death is raised, he resists tears and says the film is about his career.

Le Club season 2 returns to Versailles, with owners Alexandre Mulliez, Fabien Lazare and Pierre Gasly again favouring transparency. No thorny topic is avoided, from a match-fixing suspicion later closed by the FFF for lack of evidence to a backroom departure.

Across five episodes, cameras catch coach Jordan Gonzalez’s team talks, bonus debates and a failed stadium project at the Île de loisirs de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The search for partners and hopes of promotion to Ligue 2 fade. The owners, investing personal fortunes, opened 2026-2027 with a 3-2 defeat at La Roche-sur-Yon.

France TV’s Le match France-Italie, histoire d’une rivalité marks 20 years since Berlin 2006, using Zinédine Zidane’s headbutt on Marco Materazzi to revisit a final that ended 1-1 after extra time, 5-3 on penalties, and the wider rivalry between neighbours.
