Think Mourinho is still a top tier manager in the sense that he will win trophies given the opportunity. At spurs, they did top the league at some point before he was sacked in the week of the final of the league cup. Maybe he would have won the league cup maybe he would not have. We will never know because daniel levy is too cheapo to risk paying cup winning bonuses.
He was the successor that bobby robson wanted to have at Newcastle. But i think Benitez would be an option if eddie howe is sacked.
I see a few things.
Just observed that he is getting on the nerves on the players with the few teams that he is managing.
No question about him being a tactician.
My question is on his people management skills.
Have an impression that he cannot change his old school and sour ways of running the place.
The young players may not like to work under the toxic working environment under him after a while.
And he is getting more and more grumpy when he lose.
Was thinking that Spurs would be a good place for him to find his ways.
Seems like he lost his way again when the players dun want to work with him any more.
Same for Roma now.
NU can give him the best players with him now.
I think he will fall out with them too after a while.
He is like some old man with menopause liao.
