Good luck getting another stint at a top (or even Spurs level) club Jose. But knowing him, he'll probably end up being the Arsenal manager in a few years time.
Jose Mourinho sacked
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Hoped he would have stuck it out at Spurs until end of year but I get their decision to get rid of him. Jose will find it is a long road back to the top for him, one many of us don’t think he will make. He still has a future in football but he needs to go elsewhere, out of the limelight.
Someone was speculating that he is going to make £30m from Spurs as severance and he made £20m from United. So he is basically made more money from getting sacked than he did being employed by Spurs. I wonder if this is part of his plan - get a job and then get sacked (get salary and don’t have to do the work). Seems like someone who doesn’t care about their football “legacy”.
Nah, he's a proud guy. I doubt he'd trade trophies for a severance package. JM is a man out of time and out of his element in this era unfortunately. The less credibility he has as a top manager, the shorter his leash - its a vicious cycle.
Inevitably it was going to happen.
His time as a top-flight coach has long passed after failing hard at Spurs, United, Chelsea and Real. The only future he has left is managing an international team or going into punditry.
fecking Super league bullshit not letting me be able to bask in the banter of this
Is Levy after a slight boost with the fans by sacking an unpopular manager after he's embarrassed them by joining the Dirty Dozen?
His ego won’t allow it and he’ll keep up this cycle for as long as he possibly can. I just can’t see him ever re capturing the glory days.
His aura has left him. It's like his bubble has burst. The Jose we had first time round and Inter was incredible. But whatever happens, he's still the best manager we've ever had. And wont be topped for a long time I reckon. 3 prems, 3 league cups and an fa cup.
I dont count community shield as a trophy, really

Did any of us expect Moyes to get a shot at a club like West Ham after his Sunderland stint? I think there's a shortage of PL quality managers, so he'll get another chance.
I'm ashamed to say I was one of those
61.6 % of the caf are utter fools.
Oh he will get another top job. He's not going to disappear into the lower leagues. Maybe Monaco, Portugal job, or i can see him at Juventus. Roma, AC Milan etc. One more fling in Serie A or Spain. Leipzig perhaps when Nagelsmann goes Bayern, which i think is nailed on .
But in the prem he is done. His best chance of a prem gig now would have been the Saudis at Newcastle for example
same script. different cast. he is done as an elite manage because he refuses to learn from mistakes
30 million pay off. No wonder he is smiling.
I was saying nailed on humourously - Nagel being german for nail.
That's great - you got me good.Yep, he doesn't care. He'll pick up another job somewhere else in Europe now.
This fella is very reliable.
He will go to France! Rudi Garcia will be sacked by Lyon at the end of the season and Mourinho was already wanted by Aulas before he went to Spurs.
The "Dirty Dozen".
Yeah, I'm gonna steal that mate
I first heard the UEFA guy Aleksander Ceferin say he wasn't going to call them the Dirty Dozen, in doing so cementing it in my mind forever.
Love it, hope he drifts into obscurity.
Won't though.
Won't though.
Levy fire Mourinho due to the super league? Disgusting if true, but then again the Glaziers would do the same with Ole if he was not a yes man.
People in the media crow about his CV. feck that bollocks, his CV looks good ten years ago.
From The Athletic;
Sounds familiar, was as predictable as time on a clock. He is done at the top level and this guff about his resume? Sacked from his last three jobs after completely destroying the players moral and leaving a toxic culture. Levy has made the biggest mistake and again, an awful chairman.

Of course, it isn't related. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to gives their heads a wobble.
fecking hell, tedious trolls and too many of them.
Fired because of results.
But announced today because of the super league. A good day to bury news, as they say.
Spurs (and Levy) don't want to look like chumps who flushed another £30m, having taken on Mourinho despite him quite clearly being finished as a serious force. Oops.
Poor Jose....the news of him being sacked is not even the main story of the day
Has anybody checked if most of Mourinho's net worth comes from his severance payments?
I miss him already
Jose and his crazy takes > The ESL

Just 17 months in post?
Wow, I didn't see that coming. I'd given him a couple of seasons and a cup or two before the implosion. It's been rapid this time. I wonder why.

Spot on. He was even less suited to Tottenham than us as a football club with its traditions and style (weird comment to make in the current situation obviously). I actually thought he wouldnt even last until the end of last season when they hired him.
The brilliant cocksure, arrgant, charming, tactically great, with players that would run through walls for him was lost during his spell at Real Madrid losing that dressing room, though I think he did a decent job there in all honesty. The Mourinho since then has become more and more of a blame culture and bitter manager with each season gone by and he hasnt moved on with modern football tactics either, finished as a top manager. We were the acid test, when we hired him I thought if he could adapt to the traditions of our club he would prove himself if he tried to get us to adapt to him, it was all over.....obviously he did the latter here.
On the other hand though, as much as he is confrontational and wrong with his personal attacks etc....I agree with more of the points he makes than I dont
So his entire bullshit spill that “when he signed” he had changed was just that... utter bullshit.
Get this toxic useless feck out of club football. He has systematically destroyed the culture or every club he’s ever been at in the last 10 years because of his deluded self worth.
Talk about shredding your legacy, every time he gets sacked his legacy gets worse.
Strong words! You're right though.
Mourinho would have been doing cartwheels at the super league announcement until he got sacked as it absolves him of the shitty league season and still gives him a chance to manage in a top competition.
Levy timed this perfectly to hide what an incompetent oaf he is.
Imagine Jose getting the sack and it almost being ignored. Never thought I’d see the day.

I'm trying to work out from Levy's perspective which of the bad news he was trying to bury!
In Jose we trust
I hate that I enjoy seeing this man fail, you don't want to be that guy who enjoys others' failures but in his particular case, it really tickles my pickle.
