It is not so long ago, to be at the beginning of October, to be exact, since smiled, José Mourinho, the question. He gave you even more to those of the journalists who had set the rumor into the world, Zinédine Zidane will soon take over Mourinho’s Job. Now, the Portuguese is actually not longer the coach of the Manchester United , on Tuesday morning, he was released. And the rumours of Zidane are more current than ever. English media act, however, Laurent Blanc as a possible Mourinho’s successor. He is also a Frenchman, defended once for United and was, together with Zidane 1998 world champion.

In a short Statement, the English record champion thanked his ousted Coach for the cooperation and wishes him all the best. After the previously weak Premier League season with just 26 points from 17 Games, and the fact that with Zidane, a Trainer is on the market, the triumphed with Real Madrid three times in a row in the Champions League, the step surprisingly. According to British media reports, Mourinho conceded for the dismissal of more than 30 million Swiss francs in compensation.

With the United Mourinho won in 2017, the Europa League and in the same year, the English Ligacup. But this is too little for the demands of the Red Devils. Champions League and championship, the title to which you aspire in the North of England. Why Mourinho couldn’t win the most important competitions, for several reasons.

half A billion

Mourinho came in 2016 and bought a strong. Paul Pogba returned from Turin back to England, he was for more than 110 million francs, the most expensive player on the planet. A year later, Mourinho Romelu Lukaku pulled a striker, he’s not wanted at Chelsea once, and the moves in the similar price segments, such as Pogba. Around 550 million Swiss francs and Mourinho was in three summers.

A unit is to become Manchester United’s under it but never. There is no other example of this is shown better than that of Paul Pogba. The Frenchman is in the national team of the Leader, he wants to be. He held during the world Cup, cabin talks, and then went on to become world champion title.

In Manchester, but since delivery, it is the eccentric and a Showman . As a player that kept him in the national team back, and that the hard work completed, and was missing him N’Golo Kanté. Pogba was between the chair and the Bank or between sixes and tens. Defensive too weak to play the winner of the à la Kanté, offensive, but also not a ball distributor, such as it is, for example, a Kevin De Bruyne in the city rivals Manchester City.

The United suffered in the past few months the services of Pogba. And you suffered from the discord between the start Rainer and star player. Mourinho atomizer ride with Pogba. He set it in front of the whole team as Vice-captain, the English media were already sure of: One of the two has to go.

Immediately after Mourinho’s dismissal Pogba shared this picture on Instagram. He deleted it shortly after.

Less quality, less Power

Pogba was a Problem for Mourinho. Another is his team, not the city rivals Manchester City, the quality of water. The opponent can’t roll with the offensive power, as it does Liverpool currently. Mourinho has talents in his squad, Jesse Lingard, with his fine right foot or the quick Marcus Rashford are two of them. And he has with David de Gea, a goalkeeper that holds on good days, pretty much everything, what will happen to his goal. The team also has its weaknesses.

The wing clamp of the United usually consists of Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia. Two quick outside runners who often have to work as a wingback, because Luke Shaw is constantly injured and Matteo Darmian seems, even after two years in England still not really comfortable. The consequence: The offensive game, not even up to the executor of Lukaku. Six goals in 16 Games is a poor record for the Belgian striker.

He put down

Mourinho’s soccer , more defensive-oriented, is not dead. It showed Russia at the world Cup, as it eliminated the possession of the ball, strong in Spain. Mourinho’s football has also led to success again and again. The Champions League title with Porto in 2004? Sensational. The Triple with Inter Milan in 2010? Spectacular.

One of Mourinho’s success, the provocation was recipes. In his successful days, he was skillfully in front of his team. He provoked and doling out, in which he distracted, and so the pressure from his players. In his successful days, he had close Connections with its key players. At Porto and Chelsea. But also in Milan.

Eight title in the 55-year-old won with Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real. Twice he won the Champions League. Twice Uefa Cup/Europa League. 20 major title overall. He was really the “Special One” as he has with his famous self-assessment in the case of Chelsea presented.

The compromise was always part of his success. His best times a while ago. 16 of its major titles Mourinho won between 2003 and 2012. Since 2012, only four came. His compromise is he has become in the past few years, also fatal. He has created also a sporting failure, continue with all the – with Fans, with journalists, with other coaches, with players, with managers. He has pushed his game further and further to the top. And the has to Real Madrid (2013) and Chelsea (2015) is now at Manchester United for the separation in the strife. (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
