Mourinho is undoubtedly one of the most renowned coaches today. However, despite his fame, his coaching record has been declining in recent years, leaving some feeling disappointed. Some argue that Mourinho is now just living off his reputation, and his tactical ideas are outdated. But is this really the case?
Mourinho first stunned the world when he led Porto to win the Champions League. Porto was considered a dark horse at the time, and it was Mourinho's first time in the spotlight. Although Chelsea's owner Abramovich quickly noticed Mourinho and brought him to Stamford Bridge, Mourinho successfully led Chelsea to their first Premier League title. He then went on to coach Inter Milan and Real Madrid, helping both teams win league titles or Champions League trophies. It can be said that the first half of Mourinho's coaching career was a success.
After joining Manchester United, despite not achieving the same success as before, he still led the struggling team to second place in the league, as well as winning the Europa League, League Cup, and Community Shield, achieving a minor treble. His professional turning point came when he coached Tottenham Hotspur, where he failed to win any trophies for the first time in his career at a club. After being sacked by Tottenham, Mourinho joined Roma, a Serie A team with less exposure. However, he was also swiftly dismissed by Roma and has not coached any team since then.
Some believe that Mourinho's defensive counter-attacking tactics are outdated in this era, and he can no longer coach top clubs. However, others oppose this view. According to British media outlet onefootball, commentator Keith disagrees with this notion, believing that Mourinho is not outdated, he just needs another chance to prove himself. The most suitable position for him now is the managerial role at Newcastle United. The current manager, Eddie Howe, evidently lacks the ability to lead Newcastle to higher levels. With Mourinho's championship experience and the financial backing from the Middle East behind Newcastle, there is a real opportunity to turn them into a true powerhouse, just as he did with Chelsea.
Of course, this is just one journalist's personal opinion. The reality is that Mourinho is currently very idle, so we can only hope for him to return to coaching a team to prove himself once again! |
