The 55-year-old Portuguese was United, but not to the football and kicked everyone in the club against the shins. The defeat against Liverpool, and his gesneer afterwards, cost him his job.

Boring football
After a solid first season, could Mourinho the expectations so very rarely meet at Old Trafford. This season lost to United, five of the seventeen matches played. The twintigvoudig English champion is not only aiming behind Liverpool, but also a place in the top four (and thus a ticket for the Champions League) is currently far out of reach.
United has eleven points less than Chelsea, which is currently the fourth place holds. And about the football in silence we but. Slow, uninspired, unlikely, defensive incompetence. Like Mourinho, his teams, even defensive, not more on order. Manchester United is experiencing his worst start of the season in the Premier League for 28 years. By substandard results, was a dismissal unavoidable. Until last night, there was doubt expressed about the high cost. And the lack of alternatives. Finally took the Glazers, under pressure, yet the knot. Adieu Mourinho. His exit will cost United, by the contract extension that he in January, and, at least, an annual salary of at least eur 13 million. Plus bonuses. Expensive surgery.
The clubleiding wants in the short term, an interim-manager. Several English media slide ex-player and current staffer Michael Carrick pushed forward, but ex-player Laurent Blanc and ex-assistant Carlos Quieroz more likely. Then begins the search for a new trainer. Zinedine Zidane, who last summer left for Real Madrid, is often mentioned, but the clubleiding has a bean for a trainer who is perfect in profile: Mauricio Pochettino of Tottenham. Modern football, hard worker and good with the youth. Only there is a serious price tag. Recently, he signed a new contract with Spurs.
