Here I supplement with another set of data - points and expected points. As you can see, in the more successful seasons Mourinho had (14/15, 17/18, and arguably this season), his team always got significantly more points than expected. When his tactic didn't work and he got a similar point as expected, it was already bad enough to get him sacked (18/19). His negative playstyle is just simply unfavorable for him in these stats. Refer to the "Tiki Taka vs Counter Attack" section to this thread if you are interested.
