Sincere question and not a WUM. I’m not referring to his ability to do his job. More that he’s not really looked happy in his job for some time.
I think there’s a possibility he took his current job thinking he needs to be a football Manager to be happy. He’s taken the biggest club in English football and the prospect of exorcising the ghost of Fergie (figure of speech) which I would imagine would normally appeal to Jose’s ego.
But there does seem to be something missing. And I don’t think it’s the fact that Pep and City are flourishing or that the team he left behind won the league the season after he left them. For me, It’s him, there’s something in him. Almost like he’s in a mid-life crisis.
I could be wrong, it could just be because he’s going through a period in his career where things aren’t going his way. But I thought that was the Real Madrid Job?!
Has Jose lost his Mojo?

Tony Blair is no Jose Mourinho!

He is still the same helmet he always was.
The only difference is he does not have the media sucking his cory these days, and his schtick is tired.

Nope, his relationship with the media is broken but that's because he killed it. Something about him has changed. The Chelsea (noughties) & Inter dressing rooms had players mourning when he left, but his two following clubs players pushed him out the door. That's very telling.
And regarding his 'bad guy' gimmick, it's changed dramatically since 2004. He's always gone on the WUM, but he used to have fun doing it. He's always been passive aggressive, but he used to disguise it so much better (usually with surreal analogies). He always seeked to control the media, but he used to influence them with charm/now he tries by force. He also used to be smarter about what he said, very rarely came across as a hypocrite when he was young, now everything he says contradicts itself.

See if I was going to make a comparison between Jose past and present I would imagine him being a guy who………
10 years ago would look at himself in the mirror and actually get a Semi.
I bet he even probably pre-warned his wife that he may scream his own name during the love making
Now I think he’d look in the mirror and think “oh it’s you”.

2005 Mourinho could've walked into any nightclub in the world and had his pick by the end of the night.
Present day Mourinho would park his bus by the bar and get wasted

Look at coaches like Pochettino as well.
Hard to say because he's not had a budget to compete properly, but his Spurs team are exceptional considering what he has spent.

The whole saga with Eva Canario stunk the place out...he had absolutely no justification for that sorry episode...and was sacked two months too late for us that season
He's never been right since really

I agree with Sheriff about Eva debacle that season.

Jose has finally got the job that he feels he deserved when Fergie retired. His plan was to follow in Fergie's footsteps and lead Utd. to win the PL many times. Other clubs had other ideas. The fact that one of these clubs is close by makes the pain ever worse.
By constantly appearing to be unhappy, the blame for poor results will fall on the shoulders of the players and not himself.
