He'll be back on the sidelines soon enough. Too talented not too. His understanding of the game is world class still.
not his negative tactics and especially man management though. No coincidence he isnt employed at a club currentlyHe'll be back on the sidelines soon enough. Too talented not too. His understanding of the game is world class still.

If a top club comes calling, he would immediately accept it. Jose doesnt wait or take a year off. If it doesnt work out, he gets paid well. I dont think he got many offers at club level, and so he waits. A desperate Real or someone from Italy could appoint him, thats his hope.Who though?
He's obviously still a very good manager, but he seems to be biding his time and waiting for one of the top jobs in the game and i'm not so sure who's going to go with him really. He's been out of the game for a while and none of the big clubs have come calling. Not that we know of, anyway.
For a club that doesn't care as much about the aesthetics and wants a proven manager he will fit the profile.not his negative tactics and especially man management though. No coincidence he isnt employed at a club currently
Managers will move on or get fired eventually. Out of 15-20 top clubs in Europe I can easily imagine some vacancies being available over the next 1-3 years.Who though?

Yeah, no doubt. The point i'm making is that i'm not too sure whether any of the top clubs will come calling. I suppose it depends on your definition of a top club, really, but i think we all know what is meant by that.If a top club comes calling, he would immediately accept it. Jose doesnt wait or take a year off. If it doesnt work out, he gets paid well. I dont think he got many offers at club level, and so he waits.

I don't know why either mate to be honest.I dont know why youre persisting mate. Youll never break the bitter barrier of some people on here.
Do you mean on my part or the other poster?Revisionism.
Who's currently managing Bayern? Big rebuild job to be done there. Would he fancy it next season? I imagine so.
I think PSG could be there if Tuchel can't take them far in the Champions League. Maybe a top international job?Who though?

He’s ruled out an international job as of yet.I think PSG could be there if Tuchel can't take them far in the Champions League. Maybe a top international job?
I was watching it on sky sports mate. I'm sure it up on YouTube by now. It was the post match analysis.In which video does he mention Willian? Cant find it.
Again, i'm not sure that's the path PSG want to go down. I don't think they want that type of football. Now you can say that it's harsh on Jose to pigeonhole him as this defensive, reactive manager, but that's the reputation he has and that's not the brand of football that they want there.I think PSG could be there if Tuchel can't take them far in the Champions League.

No, i'm not arguing his second season wasn't good because the third one was a disaster. I'm arguing that the second season wasn't good on the basis that it wasn't...Apart from a promising start to the season, and a few obvious highlights (like the comeback vs City), it was generally dire. Highest difference between GA and xGA (15,5 fewer goals against than expected given the chances ), with an insane amount of chances gifted to the opposition, attacking football was nowhere to be seen and we once again depended on individual performances rather than a team effort. We also had the pleasure of witnessing just how important it is to be on the right side of Mourinho, with the needless signing of Sanchez on the expense of Rashford and Martial. Everything about the season indicated what was to come, and you'd have to be pretty fecking naive to think we'd get away with giving away so many chances to the opposition and maintaining the same xGA.Because if you finish second to this Man City team, you are the best of the rest in the league. You're arguing his second season with us was mince because we had a terrible last season. How does that work? Surely you can have two good seasons, have an absolutely disaster in the market and pre-season, then implode in the third season, ergo that's one poor season?
Also, at the end of his second season, we beat City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. We can't have been that bad.
I don’t get. I thought you lot were claiming he’s lost his edge. He spent 400 million at united and left the club in shambles. Who would take him at this point.He'll be back on the sidelines soon enough. Too talented not too. His understanding of the game is world class still.
Xg mate xG!!!I don't know why either mate to be honest.

The pundit bit is what i'm aiming at, it's just somewhat funny to see what he's ended up asI'm strickly speaking about him as a pundit. I enjoy listening to him. Never want to see him manage our club again.
He ended up as a pundit. There are worse things in life.The pundit bit is what i'm aiming at, it's just somewhat funny to see what he's ended up as
"Asked whether he paid attention to opinions about how United should play, Mourinho said: “Some of the guys with an opinion couldn’t resolve their own problems when they were managers, so they are giving opinions like they have solutions for everything but is not like that. “But they are in a position where they can give opinions about everything. Sometimes I read and listen, sometimes I don’t. This week I was more focused on enjoying Champions League and Europa League and preparing my match than be focused on opinions.”"
But who is there that he would go to? No club except Chelsea at his level were hiring and obviously that's a no go. Juve had eyes on Sarri for ages. Inter may have been the only real option but not sure if they didn't go for him/he said no (preserve legacy and in an impossible league)not his negative tactics and especially man management though. No coincidence he isnt employed at a club currently
Depends on the trophies. If It's the Europa League and the League Cup, then no. The Europa League helped cover for our poor performance in the league, which was OK. Doesn't hide the fact that it WAS poor.Winning two trophies in a season, one of which helps you qualify for the Champions League, doesn't constitute a good season now?

I think it's time he tried his hand at international management.He'll be back on the sidelines soon enough. Too talented not too. His understanding of the game is world class still.
What did Lampard say?He caught himself at one point. He realized the things he was saying as a pundit with a clear logical understanding would have driven a manager managing a team crazy.
If only he had that insight when he was managing he would have not succumbed to the pundit pressure and the things they say.
Interesting that Lampard felt the need to bite back at things he said
Enjoyed that. Feel a bit sorry for Jose, you can see he really wants to get back into managing and that that is what he really loves. I hope he does that is were he belongs.
Mourinho said "It’s the first match at home, the first match of the season, people are excited, the stadium is on fire waiting for something positive. ‘A little bit of experience [from Chelsea] would fit well with the team. ‘You look to the performance of Mason Mount, the performance of Tammy Abraham, you look to the performance even of [Andreas] Christensen and for matches of this dimension you need a little bit more.’What did Lampard say?
He hasn't always been like that. During his most successful spell as a manager between 03 and starting the RM job he was much more positive. Players loved him.He'll be successful again, because he's driven by revenge on his critics. Like that, so much of what Mourinho does as a manager comes from a negative place.
