Yes. Mourinho became Chelsea manager in June 2004 and won the Premier League in his first season, 2004/05, with 95 points.
The short answer
Mourinho took charge of Chelsea in June 2004, and the club won the league in the season that followed. It was Chelsea's first top-flight title in 50 years.
So the first Chelsea season under Mourinho did end with a Premier League title, and it came with a very strong points total.
Chelsea's 2004/05 league record
| Category | Chelsea |
|---|---|
| Season | 2004/05 |
| Played | 38 |
| Wins | 29 |
| Draws | 8 |
| Losses | 1 |
| Goals scored | 72 |
| Goals conceded | 15 |
| Goal difference | 57 |

The record shows how complete that title run was. Chelsea combined high points, very few dropped results, and an unusually low goals-against total across the full league campaign.
How big the title win was
| Final position | Club | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chelsea | 95 |
| 2 | Arsenal | 83 |
| 3 | Manchester United | 77 |
Chelsea finished 12 points clear of Arsenal at the top. That puts the title in the category of a clear first place rather than a narrow finish.
There was also a record element to the season. The 15 goals Chelsea conceded remain the fewest by any club in a 38-match Premier League season, according to official data for every season from 1995/96 to 2025/26.
The only league defeat
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Opponent | Manchester City |
| Score | 0-1 |
| Venue | Away |
| Date | 16 October 2004 |
Chelsea lost only once in the league that season. A single defeat in 38 matches says a lot about why Mourinho's first year at the club ended with the title.
