I’m sure he regrets his choice. Meanwhile Mourinho’s career has gone completely downhill because he can’t manage players.

City are at a level Chelsea have never been at.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but city didn’t want him immediately which proved mourinhos point. He still needed to grow and develop, he just could have done that at Chelsea instead of throwing a tantrum and joining furrrking Wolfsburg
----------------------------------------------------------------------
aye anbd look at the harm it has done him.

so what you have basically confirmed is that Jose didnt know how to deal with potentially the best CM in the world and KDB had to leave to fullfill his potential.

which thankfully for him he did.

So what should Mourinho do??? Start a player that isn’t ready yet instead of encouraging him to improve his game?

Try not being a massive cuuuuuunt.

So he should start de Bruyne over hazard or Willian who are currently better players? He should bench the players in good form to accommodate an underperforming young player who’s still raw and needs to improve? He should purposefully lose games and miss out on top 4 just so that de Bruyne doesn’t feel bad?

How do you motivate someone who gives up when you try to push them??? Mourinho wanted De Bruyne to work hard and prove him wrong. John terry tells a story about a time where Mourinho laid into him so much and made John Terry so angry that he was determined to prove him wrong and perform even better. You treat a modern player like that and they down tools to get the manager sacked. How is this mourinhos fault?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you find an alternative way to motivate them ..... or you do if your capable.

you have basically Pidgeon holed Jose into only being able to motivate the steely, highly professional types of players... you know the ones that dont really need motivating !!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does Mourinho adapt to the players but the players don’t adapt to Mourinho? Look at Roma, Mourinho has the support of the club and the players are falling in line. If Tottenham and Man Utd had such strong owners, they’d have won premier league titles with Mourinho.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cos there is one manager and 30 odd players. It should be easier to mould one man rather than 30. its easier to sack one man than it is 30.

Roma have the ability to challenge for the league ... he finished 6th last year and is 7th this year.

He so far hasnt shown he can get the squad that wasnt cheap to assemble to compete for the league.

nope he should coach him into a player capable of starting games which he wasnt able to do.

coach him both mentally and technically.

Roma don’t have a squad to win serie a. Napoli are an outstanding team currently and destroyed Liverpool. Roma have a team to finish top 4 and Mourinho has Roma in the race for top 4.

Which is exactly what Mourinho was doing. We got there in the end

Mourinho can’t even get Roma to finish above Lazio.

posted on 24/11/22

Roma will finish top 4 this season. They’re only A few points behind 4th currently.

posted on 24/11/22

They won’t. There’s at least five better teams in Serie A.

The fact that you still hate Mourinho years after leaving United is sad

In other words Mourinho hasn't adapted, he's declined faster than Wenger did.

Because the “best CM in the world” didn’t want it enough at Chelsea. Broja barely plays for Chelsea yet he’s still committed to improving at earning his place. Why didn’t de Bruyne have this attitude?

no but they have a squad to challenge which is what I said. and they havent done so.

finacially he is at one of the strongest teams in the league, but cant his team any higher than 7th. Untill he achieves more than that then thats how he will be rated.

you have made a total mess of this article ....


literally created an article about how your hero cannot manage modern day players!!

Roma’s squad isn’t as good as the top Italian sides. Though Mourinho signing shiiiiit players is a big reason for that.

well thats Jose's jhob to convince him Chelsea is the right place to be ... which he couldnt do. thats part of coaching also.

You cannot compare Broja and KDB cos they are under different managers.

If anything your point your raised weakens you argument even more.

Your giving an example of one manager keeping a player happy that isnt playing whilst improving him and giving another example of Jose unable to do this.


do you even think before making these points !!

Yes, that’s the point of this article. Modern day players in Europe have bad attitudes. They aren’t humble and they’re spoilt

given the money spent they should be .... given the players in the squad they should be able to challenge and certainly be in the hunt for CL places.

their wage bidget is also the 3rd highest in seria A

If their squad isn’t as good, then why should you be dissapounted if Mourinho doesn’t finish top 4?
