I just wanted to ask, is the outro has a meaning? "Jose Mourinho is Fenerbahce manager". What should I understand? "His career ended"? "Let's see where it's going"? Which one?
My head is swinging to and fro, forward and backward..sometime 2019, sometime 2001, sometime 2016, sometime 2006..😵💫😵💫😵💫..do it chronologically man.
@@LelouchLothric There is nothing deceptive about that. That was just a fact. Just like Pepe played in 895 matches through his career while Varane played 573.
Fantastic video. Regarding Mourinho's relationship with the players, I believe he was always loyal to his players, provided that they are absolutely loyal to him. One of Mourinho's earliest recorded conferences was during his short stint at Benfica (2000/01) where he is addressing the fact that a Benfica player (Sabry) has complained about Mourinho's managerial style to the press. We see Mourinho completely put down Sabry by numbering every single one of his shortcomings as a player, while refuting Sabry's claim that Mourinho had never spoken to him. At the very end, Mourinho says "if Sabry is ok with snitching to the press about me, then I am also _totally_ fine with snitching to the press about him." So this aspect of Mourinho's personality dates all the way back.
Mourinho changed though. He became far more comfortable with publicly criticising/alienating players. He needed less and less of a reason to do it as time went on, and that cost him.
That's literally not loyalty. You just described the OPPOSITE of loyalty. You're describing a false Trumpian "loyalty" where you have to worship me and if you dare ever stop worshipping I'll turn my back on you in a second
To be fair Mou was 100% correct in attacking Taylor. Missing a clear penalty in a final... But I really like the style of this video, you crafted a quite entertaining narration
@@anonymous-rb3jnI'm not even from England but Taylor is just trash. It's honestly hard to believe that such incompetence is allowed in a referee at the top level. It's just disgraceful.
@@M..n..Mim german so obviously that missed call pisses me off to an extreme degree lol. Not saying we wouldve won but had we scored, then the entire complexity of the game changes and although there r no certainties, it at worst wouldve most likely gone to penalties and i will always trust in our boys when it comes to a pen shootout. Spain played great and were deserving winners of the tournament but we wouldnt have been undeserving winners either. And to think that var was specifically implemented so that these clear as day mistakes get rectified right then and there only for it not to happen...its so bad that u almost cant help but laugh.
Remember when sir alex said: " I am a dinasour, but what i am more is a winner" and he kept changing his man management and team tactical ideas, the thumbnail just reminded me of that.
@@uwp4779 Yes, the players said he wouldn't take training and they wouldn't see him sometimes during the week. He would only come alive during matchdays and team meetings. The tactics were left up to the likes of Brian Kidd, Steve Mclaren, Rene Muelensteen, Carlos Qeiuroz.
@@musayibghani3986 While generally true, I think it's important to remember that Ferguson layed out the general blueprint that they had to follow. Rene did an interview recently where he explained how it worked. Generally speaking, the assistant managers/coaches would handle the details but it was all within Ferguson's framework. He delegated and was a manager, which is what was required in that era. These days Pep, Klopp etc etc are all head coaches. Different style and different requirements for a different time.
@Pibikhen if you read intensity by pep ljinders, it seems ljinders was responsible for designing drills. That's what coaching teams are for-areas of expertise
It is one of his problems. Mourinho has failed to adapt his tactics to the modern game. He has tried new things but they don’t seem to work as well. His teams of the last few years are almost a caricature of his prime as a coach. Too defensive and too little creativity.
Mourinho is an icon of the sport, but unfortunately he is also a product of his time. Mourinho used to manage big, scary mentality monsters. Nowadays players accuse managers like him of bullying and being too hostile. Mourinho has shown that he can still win with older players (like in Roma), not the primadonna’s like he had at Spurs and United. I’d back him any day of the week if the squad of players is right! Tactically he was the best, no doubt. But he was the best in a time where he could make a difference. Nowadays EVERYONE has multiple tactical beasts in their setup. I don’t doubt that he would flourish at any topclub that gives him full control. He hasn’t had that since 2010.
You are spot on, mate. Footballers these days behave like toddlers and rarely accept responsibility for their woeful performances. Older players knew what it means to wear a jersey.
As a UTD fan, agreed. Have footballers this days, especially UTD players, actually step up and fight for the badge, Mourinho could have been still managing big clubs and win numerous big trophies like UCL.
Every manager has to deal with the younger generations now. Jose seems to have become increasingly neurotic because it's tactically that he struggles to keep up with the times. Bullying one's own players has never been acceptable in any era, and Jose's lost plenty of dressing rooms. You can't claim that Madrid team he fell out with wasn't full of mentality monsters.
Not the footballers these days. Jose started being a manger (head coach) in 2000's Pepe, Casillas, Ronaldo all hated him by the end of his spell at Real. Jose became bitter when things did not go his way. Porto, Chelsea and Inter all did not have much problems because he was winning. When he is loosing his true coloures come out.
He set the tone for us in madrid that never give uo atiltude is what made us the team we are today he built the foundation for our club that 2011/12 season shoukd have been ours we broke all the records going to the league title , we won the coppa del rey after 18 years , we were 2 wins away from history untill that unfortunate night in munich we will never forget mou he is always been a madridasta and a club legend 🤍
@@LennyMarcusNY i know whst your gonna say whose WE your not part of the team and stuff iike to say we i am not born in madrid its just a sense of collectiveness
Really liked the non-linear timeline you followed. A lot of times, especially when there's a clear downward trajectory, people tend to start forgetting how good someone was when they started. Some might even start discrediting their initial successes as not that special. So, by interjecting the highs with the lows, you can really appreciate both aspects.
My favorite manager ever. My favorite teams ever (Porto 2002/2004, my club, and Real 2010/2013) To me, Jose forgot how to manage his dressing room. He forgot to protect his players. And that happened in Madrid when Casillas betrayed him feeding everything to the press. He became bitter because he had never felt a knife on his back by his own. A shame that, I think he could still make it if he learned more from his mistakes. Ferguson stayed 27 years at united, he had to learn and adapt too
The amount of sewage in this comment is out of this world. You learnt it while doing crack or weed? The journals and press release is still there if you dont know about shit. Mou's tactics was to break Spain squad to win in El classico. While it produced some result it destroyed Spain's invincible international team . Cassilas tried to stop that by trying to bring together both sides of spain players. AND Mou HATED that. Mou went to press and lied through his teeth and made Casslias villain in the eyes of RM fans and forced him to retire under shame. BUT guess what ? KARMA bites back. First Cassilas was not the mole. The tactics leak continues to happen till the time of second Zidane time in Madrid, till they changed technical staffs of RM. Second they way Mou lied to get Cassilas out , made him an enemy of his own players. His previous lackeys like Ramos and others like Xavi Alonso woke up finally to what Mou has done to Spain squad and wanted him to be sacked. Mourinho to this day blame them for his sacking. Again, real madrid subreddit has all these information, the spain press journals and press releases are still available as well. SO stop doing drugs and lie like your favourite Mourinho. karma ALWAYS bites back.
What I think is most incredible about his career is he came from literally no pedigree and was not a good footballer player which means players didn’t automatically respect him, and he conquered Europe and its many leagues multiple times over.
@@ninjalectualxwhat if the fucking players fuck up? Lmao. What if a guy looks into the stands and a defender blows by him? Would he be wrong? Jose went to bat for every player that bought into his system. Only when he got to real and dealt with divas like benzema and Ronaldo did he say anything. Never said shit about Drogba or John Terry negative.
This is the best video you have ever made, l love mourinho no matter what l support him everywhere he goes l am a mourinista 100% , jose my goat l am sure he will win trophies with fenerbahce
@@thekb1924 Bro, he is a reference to every coach in football history but for portuguese people he is more thsn that. He is like a god. André Vilas Boas and Vitor Pereira was his assistants and have become very good coaches that won titles.
The most celebrated manager the guy who connected to streets like nobody did always have been the intense leader his on and off the field philosophies and antics are unique. He's still capable coz he knows and how the ball works than anyone he loves the pressure and intensity of game as he said there's more time to go and more to come as his passion towards game is still the same. The boxoffice is still burning for victories
Jose's work at utd aged excellently, he never should've jumped into the spurs job... Or then the Roma job... Or then the Fenerbahçe job. If he'd stayed out of management and bided his time, he would've been in the conversation for the Bayern and PSG jobs in different moments, and could've had the opportunity to win a league title in a 5th different language (only Ancelotti has) whilst also competing for the UCL
He wouldn't take either of those jobs though. He's said multiple times in the past he gets off on competition, there's no competition managing the best club in a one team league. There's something quite unique about how Mourinho selects his jobs. He approaches real life management the way a lot of gamers do - you want it to be a competitive challenge. He could've chased the bag multiple times but he isn't interested in that. I think it's really cool personally.
@@HHHBFResurrected So this just isn't the case... He had the greatest success in his career , in the job after he left Chelsea the first time. He took a job in Italy for a team who had "won" 3 consecutive league titles, and had a stranglehold on the league due to the match fixing scandal. The other reason it isn't true is becuase Jose often selects jobs that can make him look great, due to the team having not had success in the previous season, but where he'll ABSOLUTELY have the resources/players to have success! Like when he originally took the Chelsea job. They hadn't won trophies yet, but had more money to spend than any club in the world by far at that point... Or when He took the Real Madrid job, after they hadn't won a trophy the previous season, but had just dropped a world record transfer fee twice in one summer... and obviously had a very strong squad. Or when he took the Man Utd job when they were struggling but so was everyone else and there was no clear powerhouse in the prem (Leicester had won the league, and spurs were challenging them...) and Utd were still spending a tonne, and gave him a world record transfer fee in his first window, plus several other expensive signings on top of that, and also Ibra on a free transfer with high wages. This situation literally would've been the case in recent years for both bayern and PSG too... PSG had actually lost a league title to Lille a few seasons ago (and obviously still haven't won a CL). Bayern just went last season without winning a single trophy too... There were literally reports that not only was he very keen on trying to position himself for the Bayern job, but he was actively learning German... lol, becuase he knew Tuchel was gonna be replaced. It's the EXACT type of job he would've taken. Because he could've come in, looked like the hero, and added to his résumé in a relatively straightforward way
@@onetwo8847 That would be why I said "competitive" challenge! He's not gunna manage Scarborough for the challenge of it, the clubs have to be in decent positions of course. He's joined the clubs he's joined for a variety of reasons at different points in his career, Spurs for example I think he joined cos he genuinely liked the squad & wanted to live in his own house again, but the jobs he takes are rarely obvious & it's because he has different values to other managers. The PSG job was one everyone expected him to take after Chelsea the 2nd time. His reputation was at a point where it felt like he needed a cosy, guaranteed success job after leaving his previous two teams under a massive cloud, it would've been the right thing for his career. So what does he do? Joins United of course! Why? Because it's more challenging. After Spurs everyone's wondering what on earth is his next move? England's done (at least for the time being) so what now? Is it time to take the bag in Qatar/US? Maybe venture into International management? Wait for an Inter or Porto to need an interim & maybe more? Nah, out of nowhere rocks up at Roma??? Now after Roma everyone's thinking OK surely now it's time to cash out? PIF will pay literally anything to get his name into their league! Or the romantic return to Portugal? Or maybe even a mid-table PL club? Nope, joins Fenerbahce! Because of course he does. Even in 2008. Yeah the Inter job's huge & it's cosy af, but he's the best manager in the world at this point. Would be like Guardiola joining one of the Milan clubs today... it's like OK, big club cool, but you really couldn't do better? lol This is how gamers think. You wanna win, but you don't want it to be guaranteed cos that's boring, you wanna work for it. There's definitely elements of that in his character.
mourihno is one of my favourite managers and i respect and adore his tactical ability, but he and bayern would be match made in hell - in a bad tone, bayern always thrived on attack (bundesliga as whole is really pressing) and the attitide wouldnt let him survived with hoeness and co for a week. bayern woudl lose and jose too so there is no way anyone with a brain cell - and jose is pretty inteligent guy, would take a challenge like bayern with a style like his
As man united fan i hope him the best he was a masterclass coach if he was given a fraction of what ten hag has i think we will noy be in this place right now
Its actually fascinating and hilarious to see who united has backed both financially and by giving them time. Like mou, only one of the most decorated coaches ever, asks for players and dsnt get them and a guy like ETH, who hasnt proven himself at the top level, has consistently gotten the players he wants even if they were massive overpays. Of course its not like mou never got anyone he wanted or that ETH has gotten everyone he wanted but u get the point. Its genuinely baffling to see the difference in the clubs backing, especially when u look at what they have achieved.
Amazing video as usual. Amazing in any sense: complete, engaging. There is a "but", though. I am Roman and a Roma fan. I find doubting Mourinho quite irrational. Things must be seen in context. Talking about - or hinting at - "decline" is letting the purpose of storytelling overshadow an objective appreciation of this manager's achievements. It's not that we have to make a novel out of it, because our aesthetic taste was forged by stories of "rise and fall". He is great precisely because he is not that obvious as a phenomenon nor is he going an easy way. He is the only manager who won trophies at every tier of international football. No one ever will ever win two Champions League, an Europa League and a Conference League in their career. Precisely because it's too unlikely to emulate such a professional path. Would Guardiola triumph, deprived of his glitter, in the muddy pitches of unknown clubs in the most obscure corners of Europe? That's what he did by winning the Conference League with Roma. It's about taking part in any challenge he is presented with, about going through it and mastering it, somehow. There's a neverending, dark energy in him to go beyond what has already been experienced, no matter the place or the time.
He's a real winner People who think Guardiola would be better are just sad and/or dumb. Guardiola always gets the team he wanted while Mourinho keeps struggling with not getting his choice of players
He managed mine. It was a shit show from day one. This guy is nothing. Smoke and Mirrors personified. A bullshitter if you like. Had the privilege to watch a legend manage our team once. It's not even close. He works in Turkey now.
@@wailmarga2994 It´s Man U, they still have not recovered from when Jose said getting second place in the prem with Man U was his greatest ever achievement as a manager.
@@blakan1478 well finishing second place in the PL was his greatest achievement because it was his biggest challenge given the shitty squad mentality and the player's lack of competence lol
As a Fener fan watched the video having different emotions. I am so curious if he will be successful. His first 13 matches didn’t show much promise, especially the loss against Galatasaray was a disaster. Yet it is still soon to judge, I am not hopeful. On the other hand for those reading this, one thing you should know about the Turkish Super League is that it is not so easy for him to cope with the “corruption” going on. You might think this as a simple fan mourning but I asure you it is not. It will be seen soon or later. Regardless of his success the attention he brings to our league is more important than the style of play. Watch closer, what we are talking here is a club almost with 30 Million fans (also worldwide followed because of the Turkish immigrants all over the world) and probably the only one competing almost in all professional sport branches including Olympic Games at the top level. Basketball, volleyball, men or women, we play at the higher international level, there is no such team in the world as far as I know. However because of the financial realities of football our league might not be appealing for most of you, which is understandable. This is actually why he has chosen Fenerbahçe. It is a perfect match. So much potential, as said which has no competition in some sense, however not realised, that is not easy to explain with natural causes. If you are a football fan, what we can demand is that please be more sensitive about the “rebellious” attitude of Mourinho here in Turkey. I know that Mourinho is known with his we against them tactics which could be seen manipulative, yet it is not the case in Turkey. I am sure that there will be opposite comments but what I want is from you to see it with your own eyes. Mourinho and Fenerbahçe fits perfectly, not in terms of tactical style and so on, but the current state of both, and the “potential” they offer. Without the support of neutral judgement which addresses your journalistic insight and public opinion, it is not easy to get. We need justice, which you may help us to get.
Football is a difficult business. The pressure on coaches these days are at the highest. I started supporting Mourinho since Chelsea stint and i have followed him to every teams he coached and coaching irrespective. Mourinho is a victim of his own success. Now every teams has highest expectations of him irrespective of the resources made available to him. I hope he has great success with Fenerbache.
Mourinho talked about having a good Captain and how that can make his job as a coach easier. At Real Madrid where the first troubling signs were noticed, he seemed to lose faith in Casillas as Captain and began phasing him out to allow Diego Lopez to take over...wonder why that was...Even at Chelsea in the final season John Terry was making noise that he'd leave at the end of the season possibly unsettling the squad only to turn around and sign a new contract...At Man U he won three trophies with Rooney as Captain but got binned after Rooney left and Carrick and Valencia were captains in his last two seasons respectively...Even at Tottenham he struggled and the armbarnd was worn by Hugo Lloris (Mourinho perhaps isn't a fan of Goalkeeper Captains?) Roma was just a bad last season and not sure whats going on at Fenderbache
Jose has never managed my fav club but wish he had at some point. I really like him. Personally, i would have loved to play under someone like him. He's my type of manager. Stern, fair, charismatic but also no nonsense when he needs to be. I completely understand why certain type of players were willing to run through walls for him. He's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but he is definitely for me.
Problem with Jose is he’s too real, too principled. Only real men react to other real men. Too many bluffers in football these days. Soft people. A reflection of society
Problem with Mourinho is that he's an ass to work with and the moment players see through the bs he feeds them they become resentful. Is his Madrid team not filled with real men? National captains on his team resent him. That he has successfully lost every dressing room he's been in should indicate that he's the problem. Yes, he's a very successful coach but he's good in short stints. He's not someone who can keep a club successful for a decade.
A good video overall and I get what you tried to do with the temporal jumps/transitions, but some of them made little sense and only made it harder to follow the narrative.
I agree. Maybe it’s easy for people who are familiar with all of these eras, countries and leagues. But going back-and-forth made it a bit confusing. Somebody else complimented this format saying it was like Oppenheimer. Aside from that, the amount of information gathered is truly amazing! I may have become a little confused but I was certainly not bored!
l remember when people said ancelotti is finished cauz of his stint at napoli and everton,,when he went to madrid instant impact ucl on his return, jose has been working with crap players since he joined united n not being supported by the board, same players jose criticizes the manager who comes after jose gets rid of them , l will only beleive that hes finished if he coaches madrid again and fails...jose my goat
@@a-manthegeneralThere's a pretty big difference between finishing 7th and finishing 10th. That Everton team was definitely better than what they have now and Sean Dyche would've done as much as him if they didn't get a points deduction.
United smashed the british transfer record twice under Mourinho, with Pogba and Lukaku. They came to join Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and De Gea, while Rashford and Martial were up and comomg talents. Tottenham went to a champions league final with their "crap players". I'm not sure that insufficient support from the board, or player quality is a valid argument here...
Mourinhos biggest downhill is that he never adapted to the high press. His teams look comically bad today because they basically dont press at all..and that is suicidal in modern day football..
The ending of the video gave me chills man. The way you spoke of Jose's new job at Fenerbahce and the way everybody in the photo looked😂 Yeah, he's definitely one of the best managers of all time no doubt, but he could have been TRULY legendary hadn't he been so tactically inflexible and ego-driven. Look at how much Carlo Ancelotti has achieved, and he lacks none of Mourinho's faults.
Madrid broke Mourinho, he has never been the same after it. What he did with Casillas was disgraceful, and he failed miserably with a Team that went on to win 4 Champions Leagues after his departure
Roma is still in debt with Mourinho, and there's no day tifosi don't talk about how bad was the destitution of Mourinho, the pathetic managment of the owners and him being the only one who bringed glory to Roma as a fallen giant
As time passes I've felt Mourinho's decline began in 2015. It had no connection to football, Mourinho's experiences of being with his dying father (RIP) has changed the way he's approached his profession ever since imo
instead of going by time line order - narrate begin in the middle, and alternate between going back to present day and older day giving a much stronger contrast !
Probably your best video yet. I like Mourinho, but probably he's no longer the coach he once was. With unlimited funds, he could probably pull a win once again, but now I believe it would be better if he retired, he would be goated as a sports commentator or even a writer
stupid how the medical team trying to help an injured player got criticized. If there's a problem, it's in the fact that "tactical" fouling and fake rolling on the floor are acceptable tactics at all.
Back in the day kids were idolizing people like Neymar, Cristiano, Messi, and many more. My only idol was one and only Mourinho. He is the reason I support Chelsea in PL but now he is my team's manager, a shitty manager more specifically, the man has only his name and his old cups nothing more and I think that with this attitude and with this mindset he has now. He will never achieve those things that he did before. In Fenerbahçe he did nothing except lower the performances of players that were playing good last season. No derbies won, no win against the first six teams in the Turkish League.
This is one of my favourite football video essays. I've always been fascinated by Mourinho and felt there must be an element of misfortune and poor timing in his recent struggles (which there surely is) but I think this video makes it clear that at some point the success went to his head, and he got a bit carried away. I think the power of being able to bully/cajole elite athletes was quite intoxicating to him, and eventually he got to a point where he felt he was simply untouchable and could say whatever he wanted about anybody, due to his incredible track record. A classic example of the importance of humility. I don't think he's a bad guy, in fact I get the feeling that he's a family man and a person with a strong moral compass. But I think the drug of high level football management was an addiction he struggled to control.
But football used to be more fun, and every game brought drama. The quality of football back then was higher than it is today, and players have more power now than managers.
Managers are more important than ever now. Look at City, Arsenal, Liverpool. Discourses are everywhere now about how its all about the managers’ systems instead of individuals. So I dont think players have more power now is quite correct. Its all about how the manager can keep the trust of the owners, fans, and the team (which is how its always been).
Btw Roma before Mourinho didn't win a trophy in 20 years. His departure at that point was the best decision, but saying that he made an incredible job is an understatement.
Mourinho hate him or love him as cemented his legacy in football. Yes post Madrid wasn't kind for him especially at Spurs but he always delivers silverware. The best manager we had post Ferguson and it's not even close amid the toxicity he left behind.
He broke Barca's dominance? He really didn't do it, Barca dominance broke because of bad management from their presidents, not because Mourinho did anything special His record against Barca wasn't that good, in the first 2 seasons against Pep he won 2 games out of 11.
He meant it in the sense of slowed down. Barca had their own problems 100%. But they would have won la liga again if it was not for Real. That was Peps last season.
He is someone I would love to see in Latin American football, he would fit perfectly with the passion and aggression there. He truly loves the game, for what it is.
Mourinho celebrated against Liverpool because of 2005 Champions League semi final when they got cheated & got the ghost goal. It was personal & pay back.b
Very limited view of his career, especially after 2014-15. Good video format but the later parts were fueled by the media narratives instead of actual analysis of the contexts of the events and situations at that time.
Mourinho, Van Gaal and now Bielsa have been the only top managers to unmask the system. That's why no matter how good.they do, they will never be allowed to win something of significance and will always be victims of players' plots.
As a fenerbahçe fan, things aren’t going as good as we expected with the initial hype, but I’m still hopeful that he will build a stronger squad with more concrete plans
Yeah i expected that much, Fenerbahce aren't underdogs, they're already a top team in Turkey, it's hard for Mourinho's dressing room strategies to work on guys that are already established and already successful, his motivational strategy really has only worked on underdogs. People that others said were too old, too poor, too slow, etc. He drives them to prove everyone wrong and succeeds, he turns them into lions as Zlatan once said, but if you're already a top team with nothing left to prove other than maybe win yet another league, Mourinho demanding more and more and more out of you will soon earn him resentment, especially so when he makes his displeasement known repeatedly on and off the pitch. Tbh i dunno if he himself is that motivated in Turkey, no offense to the Turkish league but to Mourinho fallen from the highest heights of football this probably feels a little insulting, beneath him and i'm not sure how motivated he is, he SHOULD be because it's when you're down that you need to be stronger than ever to get back up again, but i'm not seeing it, i feel only demotivation, i don't know if he himself feels he has nothing else to prove
I know the periods are out of order in order to paint a particular picture of the change but i still think they should have been arranged slightly differently to make it clearer. It seemed to me like it was all over the place for much of the video. Maybe starting with his first ever yea of promise and flash forward to one of decline and swap back and forth or something or the opposite way around would have made it clearer to me than seemingly hopping in and out randomly
You missed how he for seemingly no reason at all shat on Schweinzteiger the first thing he did when arriving at Man U and forced him to practice with the junior squad
Jose Mourinho's career is a story of tactical brilliance and undeniable success, earning him numerous trophies and global recognition. However, his demanding management style and combative personality often result in strained relationships with players and club leadership, leading to short-lived tenures. Despite his achievements, he faces criticism for prioritizing immediate results over fostering sustainable, long-term development within his teams.
I thought you would talk about how he won the Europa League (Uefa Cup) with Porto vs Celtic in Seville and then won the Champions League the next season.
If you enjoyed, a like goes a long way to help 🙏, the documentaries take ages to make
Good content. But keeping a linear timeline would have been much better. All the jumps, up and down weren't really needed.
I just wanted to ask, is the outro has a meaning? "Jose Mourinho is Fenerbahce manager". What should I understand? "His career ended"? "Let's see where it's going"? Which one?
You're an excellent narrator. The tactical breakdowns were wonderful.
My head is swinging to and fro, forward and backward..sometime 2019, sometime 2001, sometime 2016, sometime 2006..😵💫😵💫😵💫..do it chronologically man.
Crazy thing is. Pepe retired the same year as Varane despite being 10 years older.
True but deceptive. Pepe was not a starter for Real Madrid beyond the 15-16 season while Varane was a guaranteed starter until the 2020-21 season.
@@LelouchLothric There is nothing deceptive about that. That was just a fact. Just like Pepe played in 895 matches through his career while Varane played 573.
Injuries 😔
@@LelouchLothricwhat does that have to do with anything???
@@dingypttrue and also the fact that varane has won a WC in his career and pepe can only dream of that...
Fantastic video.
Regarding Mourinho's relationship with the players, I believe he was always loyal to his players, provided that they are absolutely loyal to him.
One of Mourinho's earliest recorded conferences was during his short stint at Benfica (2000/01) where he is addressing the fact that a Benfica player (Sabry) has complained about Mourinho's managerial style to the press. We see Mourinho completely put down Sabry by numbering every single one of his shortcomings as a player, while refuting Sabry's claim that Mourinho had never spoken to him. At the very end, Mourinho says "if Sabry is ok with snitching to the press about me, then I am also _totally_ fine with snitching to the press about him."
So this aspect of Mourinho's personality dates all the way back.
SLBENFICA ain't Paok, I love that quote.
Mourinho changed though. He became far more comfortable with publicly criticising/alienating players. He needed less and less of a reason to do it as time went on, and that cost him.
Great insight!
That's literally not loyalty. You just described the OPPOSITE of loyalty. You're describing a false Trumpian "loyalty" where you have to worship me and if you dare ever stop worshipping I'll turn my back on you in a second

@@anonymous-rb3jnI'm not even from England but Taylor is just trash. It's honestly hard to believe that such incompetence is allowed in a referee at the top level. It's just disgraceful.
@@M..n..Mim german so obviously that missed call pisses me off to an extreme degree lol.
Not saying we wouldve won but had we scored, then the entire complexity of the game changes and although there r no certainties, it at worst wouldve most likely gone to penalties and i will always trust in our boys when it comes to a pen shootout.
Spain played great and were deserving winners of the tournament but we wouldnt have been undeserving winners either. And to think that var was specifically implemented so that these clear as day mistakes get rectified right then and there only for it not to happen...its so bad that u almost cant help but laugh.
Remember when sir alex said: " I am a dinasour, but what i am more is a winner" and he kept changing his man management and team tactical ideas, the thumbnail just reminded me of that.
Alex Ferguson didn't have tactical ideas, he left it up to his coaches.
@@musayibghani3986fr? What was he doing then? Only man management?
@@uwp4779 Yes, the players said he wouldn't take training and they wouldn't see him sometimes during the week. He would only come alive during matchdays and team meetings. The tactics were left up to the likes of Brian Kidd, Steve Mclaren, Rene Muelensteen, Carlos Qeiuroz.
@@musayibghani3986 While generally true, I think it's important to remember that Ferguson layed out the general blueprint that they had to follow. Rene did an interview recently where he explained how it worked. Generally speaking, the assistant managers/coaches would handle the details but it was all within Ferguson's framework. He delegated and was a manager, which is what was required in that era. These days Pep, Klopp etc etc are all head coaches. Different style and different requirements for a different time.
@Pibikhen if you read intensity by pep ljinders, it seems ljinders was responsible for designing drills. That's what coaching teams are for-areas of expertise
This video made me understand that mourinho was not a bad tactician, it was his man management that was the problem
It is one of his problems. Mourinho has failed to adapt his tactics to the modern game. He has tried new things but they don’t seem to work as well. His teams of the last few years are almost a caricature of his prime as a coach. Too defensive and too little creativity.
Nah, the modern player is terrible at taking any sort of criticism or reacting to a negative comment in a positive way.
@@aidangriffiths5075Nahh Mourinho can only work with players with a yes-man type of attitude.
ThE mODeRn pLaYeR 🤡
His man management was terrific. Until it wasn’t 😂
Mourinho is an icon of the sport, but unfortunately he is also a product of his time. Mourinho used to manage big, scary mentality monsters. Nowadays players accuse managers like him of bullying and being too hostile.
Mourinho has shown that he can still win with older players (like in Roma), not the primadonna’s like he had at Spurs and United. I’d back him any day of the week if the squad of players is right!
Tactically he was the best, no doubt. But he was the best in a time where he could make a difference. Nowadays EVERYONE has multiple tactical beasts in their setup.
I don’t doubt that he would flourish at any topclub that gives him full control. He hasn’t had that since 2010.
You are spot on, mate. Footballers these days behave like toddlers and rarely accept responsibility for their woeful performances. Older players knew what it means to wear a jersey.
As a UTD fan, agreed. Have footballers this days, especially UTD players, actually step up and fight for the badge, Mourinho could have been still managing big clubs and win numerous big trophies like UCL.
Every manager has to deal with the younger generations now. Jose seems to have become increasingly neurotic because it's tactically that he struggles to keep up with the times. Bullying one's own players has never been acceptable in any era, and Jose's lost plenty of dressing rooms. You can't claim that Madrid team he fell out with wasn't full of mentality monsters.
Spurs are a well run club don’t put them in the same sentence as united
Not the footballers these days. Jose started being a manger (head coach) in 2000's Pepe, Casillas, Ronaldo all hated him by the end of his spell at Real. Jose became bitter when things did not go his way. Porto, Chelsea and Inter all did not have much problems because he was winning. When he is loosing his true coloures come out.
He set the tone for us in madrid that never give uo atiltude is what made us the team we are today he built the foundation for our club
that 2011/12 season shoukd have been ours we broke all the records going to the league title , we won the coppa del rey after 18 years , we were 2 wins away from history untill that unfortunate night in munich we will never forget mou he is always been a madridasta and a club legend 🤍
...and as awesome as he is He does all this because His Barcelona rejection complex drives him.
What part of Madrid are you from?
@@LennyMarcusNY i know whst your gonna say whose WE your not part of the team and stuff iike to say we i am not born in madrid its just a sense of collectiveness
Really liked the non-linear timeline you followed. A lot of times, especially when there's a clear downward trajectory, people tend to start forgetting how good someone was when they started. Some might even start discrediting their initial successes as not that special. So, by interjecting the highs with the lows, you can really appreciate both aspects.
My favorite manager ever. My favorite teams ever (Porto 2002/2004, my club, and Real 2010/2013)
To me, Jose forgot how to manage his dressing room. He forgot to protect his players. And that happened in Madrid when Casillas betrayed him feeding everything to the press. He became bitter because he had never felt a knife on his back by his own. A shame that, I think he could still make it if he learned more from his mistakes. Ferguson stayed 27 years at united, he had to learn and adapt too
Ferguson had room to change because he was protected by the club's hierarchy.
Mourinho has not had that privilege since Inter
Nah, hahaha... He not forgot. But do that for money if his plan not works or his contract expired soon.
The amount of sewage in this comment is out of this world. You learnt it while doing crack or weed? The journals and press release is still there if you dont know about shit. Mou's tactics was to break Spain squad to win in El classico. While it produced some result it destroyed Spain's invincible international team . Cassilas tried to stop that by trying to bring together both sides of spain players. AND Mou HATED that. Mou went to press and lied through his teeth and made Casslias villain in the eyes of RM fans and forced him to retire under shame. BUT guess what ? KARMA bites back.
First Cassilas was not the mole. The tactics leak continues to happen till the time of second Zidane time in Madrid, till they changed technical staffs of RM. Second they way Mou lied to get Cassilas out , made him an enemy of his own players. His previous lackeys like Ramos and others like Xavi Alonso woke up finally to what Mou has done to Spain squad and wanted him to be sacked. Mourinho to this day blame them for his sacking.
Again, real madrid subreddit has all these information, the spain press journals and press releases are still available as well. SO stop doing drugs and lie like your favourite Mourinho. karma ALWAYS bites back.
What I think is most incredible about his career is he came from literally no pedigree and was not a good footballer player which means players didn’t automatically respect him, and he conquered Europe and its many leagues multiple times over.
Winning the Euro Cup with a team that had no business winning bought him that pedigree. The guy truely was special
Sir Bobby Robson was key to that.
The editing is in the style of Oppenheimer and I love it. Amazing video man
Glad you like it!
The mentality of Jose is still unmatched to this day.
Excuse me? He's the most insecure top level manager in history. Anyone who blames his players for losing has a pathetic mentality
@@ninjalectualxwhat if the fucking players fuck up? Lmao. What if a guy looks into the stands and a defender blows by him? Would he be wrong? Jose went to bat for every player that bought into his system. Only when he got to real and dealt with divas like benzema and Ronaldo did he say anything. Never said shit about Drogba or John Terry negative.
This is the best video you have ever made, l love mourinho no matter what l support him everywhere he goes l am a mourinista 100% , jose my goat l am sure he will win trophies with fenerbahce

@@thekb1924 Bro, he is a reference to every coach in football history but for portuguese people he is more thsn that. He is like a god. André Vilas Boas and Vitor Pereira was his assistants and have become very good coaches that won titles.
@@thekb1924 xabi alonso, amorim (if he proves himself at man united)
The most celebrated manager the guy who connected to streets like nobody did always have been the intense leader his on and off the field philosophies and antics are unique.
He's still capable coz he knows and how the ball works than anyone he loves the pressure and intensity of game as he said there's more time to go and more to come as his passion towards game is still the same.
The boxoffice is still burning for victories
Jose's work at utd aged excellently, he never should've jumped into the spurs job...
Or then the Roma job...
Or then the Fenerbahçe job.
If he'd stayed out of management and bided his time, he would've been in the conversation for the Bayern and PSG jobs in different moments, and could've had the opportunity to win a league title in a 5th different language (only Ancelotti has) whilst also competing for the UCL
But then he's a workaholic
He wouldn't take either of those jobs though. He's said multiple times in the past he gets off on competition, there's no competition managing the best club in a one team league.
There's something quite unique about how Mourinho selects his jobs. He approaches real life management the way a lot of gamers do - you want it to be a competitive challenge. He could've chased the bag multiple times but he isn't interested in that. I think it's really cool personally.
@@HHHBFResurrected So this just isn't the case... He had the greatest success in his career , in the job after he left Chelsea the first time. He took a job in Italy for a team who had "won" 3 consecutive league titles, and had a stranglehold on the league due to the match fixing scandal.
The other reason it isn't true is becuase Jose often selects jobs that can make him look great, due to the team having not had success in the previous season, but where he'll ABSOLUTELY have the resources/players to have success!
Like when he originally took the Chelsea job. They hadn't won trophies yet, but had more money to spend than any club in the world by far at that point...
Or when He took the Real Madrid job, after they hadn't won a trophy the previous season, but had just dropped a world record transfer fee twice in one summer... and obviously had a very strong squad.
Or when he took the Man Utd job when they were struggling but so was everyone else and there was no clear powerhouse in the prem (Leicester had won the league, and spurs were challenging them...) and Utd were still spending a tonne, and gave him a world record transfer fee in his first window, plus several other expensive signings on top of that, and also Ibra on a free transfer with high wages.
This situation literally would've been the case in recent years for both bayern and PSG too... PSG had actually lost a league title to Lille a few seasons ago (and obviously still haven't won a CL).
Bayern just went last season without winning a single trophy too...
There were literally reports that not only was he very keen on trying to position himself for the Bayern job, but he was actively learning German... lol, becuase he knew Tuchel was gonna be replaced. It's the EXACT type of job he would've taken. Because he could've come in, looked like the hero, and added to his résumé in a relatively straightforward way
@@onetwo8847 That would be why I said "competitive" challenge! He's not gunna manage Scarborough for the challenge of it, the clubs have to be in decent positions of course. He's joined the clubs he's joined for a variety of reasons at different points in his career, Spurs for example I think he joined cos he genuinely liked the squad & wanted to live in his own house again, but the jobs he takes are rarely obvious & it's because he has different values to other managers.
The PSG job was one everyone expected him to take after Chelsea the 2nd time. His reputation was at a point where it felt like he needed a cosy, guaranteed success job after leaving his previous two teams under a massive cloud, it would've been the right thing for his career. So what does he do? Joins United of course! Why? Because it's more challenging.
After Spurs everyone's wondering what on earth is his next move? England's done (at least for the time being) so what now? Is it time to take the bag in Qatar/US? Maybe venture into International management? Wait for an Inter or Porto to need an interim & maybe more? Nah, out of nowhere rocks up at Roma???
Now after Roma everyone's thinking OK surely now it's time to cash out? PIF will pay literally anything to get his name into their league! Or the romantic return to Portugal? Or maybe even a mid-table PL club? Nope, joins Fenerbahce! Because of course he does.
Even in 2008. Yeah the Inter job's huge & it's cosy af, but he's the best manager in the world at this point. Would be like Guardiola joining one of the Milan clubs today... it's like OK, big club cool, but you really couldn't do better? lol
This is how gamers think. You wanna win, but you don't want it to be guaranteed cos that's boring, you wanna work for it. There's definitely elements of that in his character.
mourihno is one of my favourite managers and i respect and adore his tactical ability, but he and bayern would be match made in hell - in a bad tone, bayern always thrived on attack (bundesliga as whole is really pressing) and the attitide wouldnt let him survived with hoeness and co for a week. bayern woudl lose and jose too so there is no way anyone with a brain cell - and jose is pretty inteligent guy, would take a challenge like bayern with a style like his
As man united fan i hope him the best he was a masterclass coach if he was given a fraction of what ten hag has i think we will noy be in this place right now
Its actually fascinating and hilarious to see who united has backed both financially and by giving them time.
Like mou, only one of the most decorated coaches ever, asks for players and dsnt get them and a guy like ETH, who hasnt proven himself at the top level, has consistently gotten the players he wants even if they were massive overpays.
Of course its not like mou never got anyone he wanted or that ETH has gotten everyone he wanted but u get the point. Its genuinely baffling to see the difference in the clubs backing, especially when u look at what they have achieved.
@@diablejambe3460jose was given lee grant, fred and dalot the season after they finished with 81 points, albeit behind the centurion man city side😭
Amazing video as usual. Amazing in any sense: complete, engaging. There is a "but", though.
I am Roman and a Roma fan. I find doubting Mourinho quite irrational.
Things must be seen in context. Talking about - or hinting at - "decline" is letting the purpose of storytelling overshadow an objective appreciation of this manager's achievements. It's not that we have to make a novel out of it, because our aesthetic taste was forged by stories of "rise and fall".
He is great precisely because he is not that obvious as a phenomenon nor is he going an easy way.
He is the only manager who won trophies at every tier of international football. No one ever will ever win two Champions League, an Europa League and a Conference League in their career. Precisely because it's too unlikely to emulate such a professional path.
Would Guardiola triumph, deprived of his glitter, in the muddy pitches of unknown clubs in the most obscure corners of Europe? That's what he did by winning the Conference League with Roma. It's about taking part in any challenge he is presented with, about going through it and mastering it, somehow. There's a neverending, dark energy in him to go beyond what has already been experienced, no matter the place or the time.
He's a real winner
People who think Guardiola would be better are just sad and/or dumb.
Guardiola always gets the team he wanted while Mourinho keeps struggling with not getting his choice of players
You have really added something important to the information in the documentary. Thank you!
He never managed my club but he's one of my all time favorite managers ever.
He managed mine. It was a shit show from day one. This guy is nothing. Smoke and Mirrors personified. A bullshitter if you like. Had the privilege to watch a legend manage our team once. It's not even close. He works in Turkey now.

My favourite coach of all time. He is a menace
As a Fener fan watched the video having different emotions. I am so curious if he will be successful. His first 13 matches didn’t show much promise, especially the loss against Galatasaray was a disaster. Yet it is still soon to judge, I am not hopeful. On the other hand for those reading this, one thing you should know about the Turkish Super League is that it is not so easy for him to cope with the “corruption” going on. You might think this as a simple fan mourning but I asure you it is not. It will be seen soon or later. Regardless of his success the attention he brings to our league is more important than the style of play. Watch closer, what we are talking here is a club almost with 30 Million fans (also worldwide followed because of the Turkish immigrants all over the world) and probably the only one competing almost in all professional sport branches including Olympic Games at the top level. Basketball, volleyball, men or women, we play at the higher international level, there is no such team in the world as far as I know. However because of the financial realities of football our league might not be appealing for most of you, which is understandable. This is actually why he has chosen Fenerbahçe. It is a perfect match. So much potential, as said which has no competition in some sense, however not realised, that is not easy to explain with natural causes. If you are a football fan, what we can demand is that please be more sensitive about the “rebellious” attitude of Mourinho here in Turkey. I know that Mourinho is known with his we against them tactics which could be seen manipulative, yet it is not the case in Turkey. I am sure that there will be opposite comments but what I want is from you to see it with your own eyes. Mourinho and Fenerbahçe fits perfectly, not in terms of tactical style and so on, but the current state of both, and the “potential” they offer. Without the support of neutral judgement which addresses your journalistic insight and public opinion, it is not easy to get. We need justice, which you may help us to get.
Very well presented.
Thank you for explaining all of this!
Mourinho does not fit perfectly with Fener. He barely cares about the job as shown by the Gala game
As A Laliga watcher and a Madrid fan,i am forever grateful to Mou for gifting us Luka ❤
Football is a difficult business. The pressure on coaches these days are at the highest. I started supporting Mourinho since Chelsea stint and i have followed him to every teams he coached and coaching irrespective. Mourinho is a victim of his own success. Now every teams has highest expectations of him irrespective of the resources made available to him.
I hope he has great success with Fenerbache.
Mourinho talked about having a good Captain and how that can make his job as a coach easier. At Real Madrid where the first troubling signs were noticed, he seemed to lose faith in Casillas as Captain and began phasing him out to allow Diego Lopez to take over...wonder why that was...Even at Chelsea in the final season John Terry was making noise that he'd leave at the end of the season possibly unsettling the squad only to turn around and sign a new contract...At Man U he won three trophies with Rooney as Captain but got binned after Rooney left and Carrick and Valencia were captains in his last two seasons respectively...Even at Tottenham he struggled and the armbarnd was worn by Hugo Lloris (Mourinho perhaps isn't a fan of Goalkeeper Captains?)
Roma was just a bad last season and not sure whats going on at Fenderbache
Epic video. Thank you for making videos like this. Especially ones that incorporate the tactical breakdowns.
Jose has never managed my fav club but wish he had at some point. I really like him. Personally, i would have loved to play under someone like him. He's my type of manager. Stern, fair, charismatic but also no nonsense when he needs to be. I completely understand why certain type of players were willing to run through walls for him. He's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but he is definitely for me.
Problem with Jose is he’s too real, too principled. Only real men react to other real men. Too many bluffers in football these days. Soft people.
A reflection of society
Problem with Mourinho is that he's an ass to work with and the moment players see through the bs he feeds them they become resentful. Is his Madrid team not filled with real men? National captains on his team resent him. That he has successfully lost every dressing room he's been in should indicate that he's the problem.
Yes, he's a very successful coach but he's good in short stints. He's not someone who can keep a club successful for a decade.
A good video overall and I get what you tried to do with the temporal jumps/transitions, but some of them made little sense and only made it harder to follow the narrative.
I agree. Maybe it’s easy for people who are familiar with all of these eras, countries and leagues. But going back-and-forth made it a bit confusing.
Somebody else complimented this format saying it was like Oppenheimer.
Aside from that, the amount of information gathered is truly amazing! I may have become a little confused but I was certainly not bored!
l remember when people said ancelotti is finished cauz of his stint at napoli and everton,,when he went to madrid instant impact ucl on his return, jose has been working with crap players since he joined united n not being supported by the board, same players jose criticizes the manager who comes after jose gets rid of them , l will only beleive that hes finished if he coaches madrid again and fails...jose my goat

United smashed the british transfer record twice under Mourinho, with Pogba and Lukaku. They came to join Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and De Gea, while Rashford and Martial were up and comomg talents.

maturing is realizing how Mourinho from 2003-2010 is unmatched
One of the highest peaks of a manager
@@langletprolet8378 I would say the highest. the amount of success he had with 3 different clubs in such a short time is amazing.
Mourinhos biggest downhill is that he never adapted to the high press. His teams look comically bad today because they basically dont press at all..and that is suicidal in modern day football..
This is bot true. Since Porto days Mourinho used high press. And now at Fenerbahçe, in the majority of games, the team do a high press.
The ending of the video gave me chills man. The way you spoke of Jose's new job at Fenerbahce and the way everybody in the photo looked😂
Yeah, he's definitely one of the best managers of all time no doubt, but he could have been TRULY legendary hadn't he been so tactically inflexible and ego-driven. Look at how much Carlo Ancelotti has achieved, and he lacks none of Mourinho's faults.
Might be jose time has gone but he of of the best in history
Madrid broke Mourinho, he has never been the same after it. What he did with Casillas was disgraceful, and he failed miserably with a Team that went on to win 4 Champions Leagues after his departure
Roma is still in debt with Mourinho, and there's no day tifosi don't talk about how bad was the destitution of Mourinho, the pathetic managment of the owners and him being the only one who bringed glory to Roma as a fallen giant
As time passes I've felt Mourinho's decline began in 2015. It had no connection to football, Mourinho's experiences of being with his dying father (RIP) has changed the way he's approached his profession ever since imo
It was nothing less than a movie well edited and one of the best from FMS....🎉
instead of going by time line order - narrate begin in the middle, and alternate between going back to present day and older day giving a much stronger contrast !
Probably your best video yet. I like Mourinho, but probably he's no longer the coach he once was. With unlimited funds, he could probably pull a win once again, but now I believe it would be better if he retired, he would be goated as a sports commentator or even a writer
Best explanation of Mourinho ever made, you show the clear picture of what has happened with explanation and without bias
Ended the video with just he is a fernabache manager, nothing to add to it, speaks for itself, such savage disrespect, haha.
Tbf to Moruinho, look at Why he classes with those players and how they up later On, where they Play, how they Play, If they Play
Still it did not go well for team unity
You mean players like Casillas and Ronaldo and Benzema? Yeah, I wonder what happened to them.
This was beautifully done, great job
Would love to see one on Klopp.
Really great content on Mourinho here. Loved it
Agree on both counts!
Jose won but failed in Madrid. Yes he ended Barca’s domination in Spain, but man he should beat Dortmund and Bayern in 11/12 & 12/13.
Amazing video. Well done!
stupid how the medical team trying to help an injured player got criticized. If there's a problem, it's in the fact that "tactical" fouling and fake rolling on the floor are acceptable tactics at all.
Decision to tell a story in none-chronological order works great for video. Good Job.
Bravo, this doc is well made.
Oh Man i hope this story doesn't end this way 😔
Back in the day kids were idolizing people like Neymar, Cristiano, Messi, and many more. My only idol was one and only Mourinho. He is the reason I support Chelsea in PL but now he is my team's manager, a shitty manager more specifically, the man has only his name and his old cups nothing more and I think that with this attitude and with this mindset he has now. He will never achieve those things that he did before. In Fenerbahçe he did nothing except lower the performances of players that were playing good last season. No derbies won, no win against the first six teams in the Turkish League.
This is Dr.Manhattan's style narrative. Can't believe you're a fan of comics books too.
This is one of my favourite football video essays. I've always been fascinated by Mourinho and felt there must be an element of misfortune and poor timing in his recent struggles (which there surely is) but I think this video makes it clear that at some point the success went to his head, and he got a bit carried away. I think the power of being able to bully/cajole elite athletes was quite intoxicating to him, and eventually he got to a point where he felt he was simply untouchable and could say whatever he wanted about anybody, due to his incredible track record. A classic example of the importance of humility.
I don't think he's a bad guy, in fact I get the feeling that he's a family man and a person with a strong moral compass. But I think the drug of high level football management was an addiction he struggled to control.
great video,great effort and amazing
editing
But football used to be more fun, and every game brought drama. The quality of football back then was higher than it is today, and players have more power now than managers.
Depends if you are getting to that conclusion from watching matches or being part of different echo chambers on social media. Negativity sells.
Also all the players these days are basically just athletes
Back when, exactly?
Managers are more important than ever now. Look at City, Arsenal, Liverpool. Discourses are everywhere now about how its all about the managers’ systems instead of individuals. So I dont think players have more power now is quite correct. Its all about how the manager can keep the trust of the owners, fans, and the team (which is how its always been).
Mourinho deserved the europa league with roma, he got robbed of that
The criticism of Jose was how would he do with a lesser club like a Spurs Roma ect
We have the answer now
Btw Roma before Mourinho didn't win a trophy in 20 years.
His departure at that point was the best decision, but saying that he made an incredible job is an understatement.
Editing was on next level 🙌
I love how the video ends. Just perfect
This is actually a brilliant video.
Thank you.
Great video!!
Love this video. Great job
Great video👌.
Did Porto not win the 2003 UEFA cup though also?
"Chelsea spend big but intelligently"- 162 million spend on the world's best players. Genius. Other clubs need to take notice. Lovely video, though.
on his Mourinho era
Mourinho hate him or love him as cemented his legacy in football. Yes post Madrid wasn't kind for him especially at Spurs but he always delivers silverware. The best manager we had post Ferguson and it's not even close amid the toxicity he left behind.
He broke Barca's dominance? He really didn't do it, Barca dominance broke because of bad management from their presidents, not because Mourinho did anything special
His record against Barca wasn't that good, in the first 2 seasons against Pep he won 2 games out of 11.
He meant it in the sense of slowed down. Barca had their own problems 100%. But they would have won la liga again if it was not for Real. That was Peps last season.
He is someone I would love to see in Latin American football, he would fit perfectly with the passion and aggression there. He truly loves the game, for what it is.
As a Chelsea fan, thanks Jose for everything!! We love you always… The greatest for me 🙂
My favorite manager
Great video 👏
Thank you!
Great video,love it and watched all through
Wait how did higuan and benzema both managed to score that many goals where games had to be shared between the bith of them
The magic of mourinho has gone in my opinion
No its still there got robbed in the final of Europa. Doing well in the Turkish league and played better than Man Utd in Europa
Jose Mourinho really did his thing man, real goat!
Mourinho celebrated against Liverpool because of 2005 Champions League semi final when they got cheated & got the ghost goal. It was personal & pay back.b
Very limited view of his career, especially after 2014-15. Good video format but the later parts were fueled by the media narratives instead of actual analysis of the contexts of the events and situations at that time.
Bro is cooking with his new videos
Mourinho is my GOAT candidate.
❤❤❤
great video please do a series don't stop
Great documentary
Great Jose
The special one
Mourinho, Van Gaal and now Bielsa have been the only top managers to unmask the system.
That's why no matter how good.they do, they will never be allowed to win something of significance and will always be victims of players' plots.
Yeah look at the results of Man Utd & Spurs today, but their deluded fans still blaming Mourinho
FMS is the G.O.A.T
The scary thing is that it's not over. He's got one more big team in him
As a fenerbahçe fan, things aren’t going as good as we expected with the initial hype, but I’m still hopeful that he will build a stronger squad with more concrete plans
Yeah i expected that much, Fenerbahce aren't underdogs, they're already a top team in Turkey, it's hard for Mourinho's dressing room strategies to work on guys that are already established and already successful, his motivational strategy really has only worked on underdogs. People that others said were too old, too poor, too slow, etc.
He drives them to prove everyone wrong and succeeds, he turns them into lions as Zlatan once said, but if you're already a top team with nothing left to prove other than maybe win yet another league, Mourinho demanding more and more and more out of you will soon earn him resentment, especially so when he makes his displeasement known repeatedly on and off the pitch.
Tbh i dunno if he himself is that motivated in Turkey, no offense to the Turkish league but to Mourinho fallen from the highest heights of football this probably feels a little insulting, beneath him and i'm not sure how motivated he is, he SHOULD be because it's when you're down that you need to be stronger than ever to get back up again, but i'm not seeing it, i feel only demotivation, i don't know if he himself feels he has nothing else to prove
Look at the achievement with different club and his former players praise a lot about him, it's enough said to say he is the special elite one..
I know the periods are out of order in order to paint a particular picture of the change but i still think they should have been arranged slightly differently to make it clearer. It seemed to me like it was all over the place for much of the video. Maybe starting with his first ever yea of promise and flash forward to one of decline and swap back and forth or something or the opposite way around would have made it clearer to me than seemingly hopping in and out randomly
its crazy to see his trajectory compared to his rival Pep.
This video is very well made
People hate him because of his personality but he is a genius.
You missed how he for seemingly no reason at all shat on Schweinzteiger the first thing he did when arriving at Man U and forced him to practice with the junior squad
Lovely non-linear storytelling
he fell behind new times, he was an innovator, but was overtaken by other innovators
You didn't mention that Jose won the UEFA cup for Porto when you listed the honours. Might wanna fix that
Jose Mourinho's career is a story of tactical brilliance and undeniable success, earning him numerous trophies and global recognition. However, his demanding management style and combative personality often result in strained relationships with players and club leadership, leading to short-lived tenures. Despite his achievements, he faces criticism for prioritizing immediate results over fostering sustainable, long-term development within his teams.
Damn it's really a content.
I thought you would talk about how he won the Europa League (Uefa Cup) with Porto vs Celtic in Seville and then won the Champions League the next season.
