What next for Mourinho?

He really is such an odious little man. Can’t even give a little praise without praising himself as well. Thank God I no longer have to look at that smug stupid face of his.
Like Vato and Giorno, I would not want him back either.
Many reasons, press/atmosphere among fans, national team, shit football style and thinking about the current situation of the team, the null commitment to young players.
Trying to be positive there could be a scenario in which he accepts to work with young people and polish them (I think it would not happen, he won't change) but even in that case he would surely bring his toxic environment and erase the smile of Vini and Rodrygo.
However there are many Mourinhistas and personally I think he is the favorite.
Honestly could be true. Sometimes people say the right things and lay foundations but are too rigid and negative. Then someone leaves or a new manager comes in and puts positivity and hope and the muscle memory mixed with positivity flourishes
Imagine finding a way to praise yourself with something as unspectacular as a retirement announcement. Parody stuff
He's desperate for PR.
I even dare to bet that he'd won the next trophy sooner than we won ours.
People really taking things for granted. 2 cups and a second spot finished and he's a fraud.
My first thought as well. Even when talking specifically about one of his best former players, it is about him. I feel like we've broken him.
What the hell kind of prediction is that? Not based on anything besides your manlove for him. He doesn't even have a club. Way to make the man bigger than the club.
Pretty much this. He does make everything about him and his faults are pretty transparent but let's not pretend that he's never been a fantastic manager - he deserves to be remembered as one of the greats of his time.
You can argue that he's had massive spending power, but there have been plenty managers at City and Chelsea and Real, all his contemporaries, who never achieved the heights he did. Even on our end Moyes probably had access to a huge transfer warchest. Look how that turned out.
Respect x3
I see more personal dislike than revisionism.
I'd say on paper, his achievements dwarf any other manager in the game today (yes even Saint Pep) because he has never taken an 'easy' role, which is to be admired and has always won trophies. Issue is more that it seems his personality and way of working with players has a shelf life and modern players maybe can't handle the methods he uses. Even if he retired today I don't think Pep, Klopp, Poch, Allegri or any other current top manager will ever come close to matching his achievements with Porto and or Inter. It would be like Pep suddenly deciding to move to someone like PSV and then winning the CL...
I personally can't stand how he conducts himself but you can't change his trophy cabinet and, for that, I tip my cap to him.
So Trump like. Eager to seize upon something banal and raise it to a level of undeserving importance.
I hear Huddersfield is looking for a manager.
feck you, Jose.
feck you, Jose.
This is spot on. Several posters in here let their personal opinions on the man cloud his past achievements.
Make Utd Great Again
It's even more laughable because we bought Cech under Ranieri. He would have been anyone's No 1 at Chelsea.
He’s a parody of himself.
The miserable start to the season could have been avoided by Jose being sacked in the summer. I think that the club should have backed him to the hilt in the summer. By not backing him they showed they didn't have faith in him.
They should have backed him or sacked him.
He wont go unemployed for long. Bet he'd won another trophy faster than poch will ever will.
United fans has this weird idea that the manager of his calibre is only good to manage in china.
Such a self-serving comment, a premier league great retires and he manages to find a way to make it about himself.
Thankfully he is finished at the top level, I look forward to watching him continue to sink into mediocrity.

No top club in their right mind would want to touch him. He took three huge clubs with huge spending power, in which he had full confidence, and brought them to near disaster footballing wise while simultaneously turning them into a media circus with his humorless and sneering press conferences.
His ego will prevent him from going to a smaller club so i suppose bitter pundit is next for him. Maybe he an Sourness could sit together and spew venom

He can go to Atletico if Simeone leaves. Like to like replacement in terms of style.
Never thought about him going to Atletico before. Could be plausible as I read somewhere recently that Inter may be after Simeone. Also Atletico have a decent team for him to take over, also the average age of the squad is 27.
If this were to happen I think this might make a few people at Real bitter, although I don't think Jose gives a crap about that. Although he may think he has and wants another chance at Real one day, so that may dissuade him from moving to Atletico, although I doubt it.
Bit unrelated, but I always wondered why Atletico tolerate that style of play. Sure, Simeone made them a powerhouse and won the league with them, and that style of play is perhaps acceptable in CL cup games. But currently Atletico have a great squad with some world class players, and Barca and Madrid are at their weakest. Surely they could be demanding a more entertaining style of football, which is perfectly capable with the players they have, and maybe a better effort to challenge for the league.
Either way, I don't think Mourinho will fancy Atletico. He would probably want a glamorous club like Real and his buddies are already dropping hints in the media that he's waiting for the job.
He is done with those. Utd was his last chance and he blew it to smithereens. Real Madrid would be crazy to give him the job.
Who friggin' cares, as long as he doesn't darken our door again
We don't have Athletic fans here otherwise I'd bet they probably hate his guts from his time at the other Madrid. Never even knew how much Juve fans hated him till we played them. He always says or does something unnecessary to burn bridges at clubs he's never managed. His time in italy and his antics after we beat Juve added them to the shortlist of clubs he can never manage
Right now it's not so far-fetched an idea. He's coming off his third consecutive high profile tenure ending in disaster, his first real managerial total failure, and he's burned so many bridges throughout his career that there simply aren't many options left for him in Europe. PSG and Bayern are a long shot, Real Madrid would only turn back to him if things were to collapse to dramatically as to make them desperate, Juventus, Liverpool, City and this point Chelsea and United would sooner give the job to their gardener than him...what's left are either lower profile clubs, or high profile clubs that are nevertheless far from being able to compete for big trophies quite yet
Although I think there is a chance he may go Atleti, I think he wants another shot with Real.
I read somewhere the other day that he thinks his buddy Perez would welcome him back with open arms. Although I don't know if he p!ssed the players off so much last time that they would be happy with him back.
I think another appealing thing for him at Real is winning the Champions League again which would make him the only manager so far to do it with 3 different teams. This would appease his ego massively.

Scholes has gone in two footed on him.
You're right. If he joins Porto he'll have no problem winning a nice competition like the Portugues League before Poch wins anything.
