Former England player and manager Sir Bobby Robson has died at the age of 76.
Sir Bobby was one of England's best ever managers, and also played 20 times for his country, scoring four goals.
During his time as England boss they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Italy in 1990, the furthest the team had got since winning it in 1966.
As well as his success with England, he was also a brilliant club manager, with Ipswich Town, Newcastle United and big foreign teams like Barcelona.
He had lots of success with those clubs, and along the way spotted the potential of a young coach called Jose Mourinho who he later made his assistant manager at Barcelona.
Sir Bobby met Mourinho while working in Portugal where he had been working as a translator and coach. He realised Mourinho could be a very good coach too, and took him to a number of other clubs with him.
