Jose Mourinho
Last year, former football player turned
Chelsea FC football manager, Jose Mourinho, 53, was
unceremoniously fired from the team after a string of losses
and arguments. Mourinho repeatedly maintained he left the
then reigning champions and was not terminated from his
post, but the Judiciary Report stated back on January 9,
2016 that he was fired (Former Chelsea Coach Jose Mourinho Hauled Into Court For Firing
Doctor Eva Carneiro In A Case That Highlights How A Manager Can Lose
The Confidence Of His Team).
This month, Mourinho slipped up and admitted
he was fired. Mourinho stated of Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich, who fired him, "He was never my friend. We
always had the relationship of owner-manager. Very
respectful relationship. We were never friends. We were
never close to each other. When some managers leave clubs,
they like to, I don’t know the right saying, but in
Portuguese it is ‘wash the dirty clothes.’ Go back and speak
and speak and speak. I leave clubs with a very good feeling,
the feeling of doing everything to succeed. I gave
everything to the club. I don’t like to go back and speak
specially about the bad things. I want to keep the good
things – and at Chelsea I had so many good things, in terms
of results, friends I have for life, an amazing empathy with
the supporters. The supporters didn’t change their
relationship with me because of last season and a couple of
months of bad results."
Mourinho has coached impressive teams and
did well throughout his managerial career, but his temper
and disposition got him into trouble. Mourinho has clashed
with other managers and staff of teams he managed. His
dismissal at Chelsea FC was due to these patterns of
behavior. He's not gotten off to the best start in his new
post as manager of Manchester United FC.
Mourinho signed with Manchester United
3-months ago, hoping to follow in the footsteps of a man he
admires, coaching legend, Sir Alex Fergusson. However,
Mourinho has been moaning to the press about life in
Manchester, England and that his family has not moved with
him, opting to remain in glitzy London, England. It's a bit
perplexing that Mourinho's wife, son and daughter have opted
not to join him in Manchester. Mourinho stated to the press
that he is "miserable."
London is the top city in Britain. It's a
very popular place, but Manchester is nice as well. Mourinho
has moved into a hotel in Manchester, rather than purchasing
a house or flat (condo). It's not like he's broke. Mourinho
has made millions from coaching football. Mourinho also owns
a mansion in London. Living in a hotel is not the best
situation for someone in his position. The standard when a
person of means joins Manchester United is they usually
purchase a home in Cheshire. The preferred place among
Manchester United stars and staff is idyllic Alderley Edge.
Mourinho's unwillingness to move into a house or flat in
Manchester lends the impression he does not see the move as
a something long term.
Mourinho's controversial signing of
23-year-old footballer, Paul Pogba, was very risky. Mourinho
signed Pogba for £89,000,000. What's ironic is in 2012
Manchester United had sold Pogba to Juventus for £1,500,000.
To buy him back at £89,000,000 is very poor football
economics for two reasons. That's Messi money, meaning a
goal scorer firing off goals like Lionel Messi and with high
shirt sales that can justify that type of expenditure. Pogba
is a good player and he is not playing badly, but he's not
really scoring many goals. He's only scored one goal in
three months.
Tweet on my
Twitter page
from 3-months ago regarding overspending on the Paul Pogba
transfer
Mourinho has over spent on the current
squad, spending
£156,000,000 upon landing at Manchester United.
Mourinho also seeks to spend millions more on new talent.
The team is currently number seven on the Premier League
table. There are teams who have spent far less money that
are ahead of Manchester United on the table.
Last week Mourinho referenced his Manchester
United move as "a disaster." At this point is has been a
disaster. Manchester United are not getting good results on
the football pitch. The team has been intrinsically broken
since Ferguson's departure. Mourinho is Manchester United's
third manager struggling after Ferguson's winning ways
(David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal preceded Mourinho).

Mourinho admits he was fired, not ‘mutually consented’
Date published: Saturday 22nd October 2016
9:48 - Jose Mourinho has finally admitted that he was sacked
as Chelsea manager in 2015, not ‘mutually consented’.
Mourinho’s second reign as Blues boss ended in ignominious
fashion in December of last year, when he left his post mere
months after winning the Premier League title.
Mourinho’s second departure was billed as
mutual consent but he admitted in his press conference ahead
of his return to Stamford Bridge with Manchester United he
was sacked. There are no hard feelings, though, and Mourinho
is looking forward to seeing some of the lifelong friends he
made at the club...
Jose Mourinho's transfer spending since 2004 hits £856.8m
with £100m world-record signing of Paul Pogba

Updated: 10:26 EST, 10 August 2016 - Jose Mourinho has never
been afraid to splash out in the transfer market – and his
£100million move for Paul Pogba takes his career spending
over the £850m mark. The Manchester United manager has spent
an incredible £856.8m on players since arriving at cash-rich
Chelsea 11 years ago.
Pogba is, of course, Mourinho's
most-expensive buy yet and this summer's transfer window
represents his biggest-ever period of spending. United have
flashed the cash to bring in Eric Bailly (£30m from
Villarreal) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£26m from Borussia
Dortmund), while also recruiting Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a
free transfer. The running total of £156m at United engulfs
any of his seasons at Chelsea, Inter Milan or Real Madrid...
