When Mourinho became the head coach of Tottenham 17 months ago, he seemed to bring a new future for North London.

“I am very happy to join a club with such a great tradition and such enthusiastic fans.” In November 2019, Mourinho became the head coach of Bai Lily. At this time, his prospects for Tottenham are bright.

“The strength of the club’s first team and youth training makes me very excited. Being able to work with these players is what attracts me to coach here.”

After a disastrous season for Manchester United, the 58-year-old “most special” coach seems to be reborn. In Manchester United’s last season, his conflict with the Red Devils players Luke Shaw and Pogba ruined the halo of honor he had brought to the club. While coaching Manchester United, he led the team to win the English Football League Cup and the Europa League, and in his first season in office, he led the Red Devils to the Premier League runner-up.

Mourinho is a star in the Tottenham documentary “Desperate”, and his winning mentality aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. However, just like his past coaching experience, he was dissatisfied with the team’s management style to some players. In the Tottenham documentary, he focused on the quarrel with player Danny Rose.

When the fans’ favorite player Ali became the marginal figure of the team, the Portuguese coach began to be attacked by the fans.

Therefore, we analyzed in depth the reasons for Mourinho’s failure at Tottenham:

1. A very controversial coach appointment

From the beginning, Tottenham fans have been skeptical of the club’s decision to appoint a head coach that is already somewhat outdated in football.

Bai Lily’s former coach, Pochettino, is very popular among the fans. He not only led the team to the top four of the Premier League (the Premier League ranked ahead of North London’s arch-rival Arsenal), but also led the team to the Champions League final.

Although Tottenham had a terrible start to the 2018-19 season, it seems unlikely to fire the Argentine coach. But unfortunately, in the end Pochettino was forced to dismiss get out of class, and then Mourinho took office as the new coach of Tottenham.

During Mourinho’s tenure as Manchester United coach and when he was in charge of Chelsea, his tactics were more biased towards defensive counterattacks, and the current mainstream trend in football is offensive football. Under such circumstances, Tottenham fans have to wonder whether the club’s hiring Mourinho was a wrong decision.

2. Conflicts in the dressing room

This is a classic strategy used by Mourinho to manage the team. He requires players to work hard for him on and off the court. This may be a means to inspire the stars to perform at their best.

When coaching Chelsea, Mourinho had conflicts with Joe Cole and Hazard, and when he was the coach of Real Madrid, Ronaldo had also been criticized by Mourinho. Mourinho asked the Portuguese stars to play. China must withdraw to help the team defend. Not to mention Pogba, the Manchester United midfielder said in a recent interview that he has been severely treated by Mourinho in the past.

Mourinho’s player management model has been continued in Tottenham. When Tottenham defender Rose was excluded from the team’s roster, he went to Mourinho’s office to find out why, but the communication between the two eventually ended in a quarrel.

Another notable example is Ali. In the first training session after Mourinho took office, Mourinho asked the England midfielder, “Are you Ali or Ali’s brother?” Because Mourinho thought he didn’t see Ali put out a Premier League first-class The state a star should have.

In Mourinho’s first eight games with Tottenham, Ali scored eight goals, but then his state began to decline, so he was also excluded from the team’s roster. The “lazy” Ali never got a chance again. At the transfer window in January, he even had a scandal with Ligue 1 hegemon Paris Saint-Germain.

The conflict between Ali and Mourinho may be the most concerned by the outside world, but the fact is that players such as Auriye, Ndombele, Bale, Alder Verel and others have had conflicts with Mourinho.

“The Sun” exclusively disclosed that before Mourinho was fired, some players ran to Levi to complain about Mourinho.

3. Disagreements with the club’s senior management

When Mourinho first became the Tottenham coach, we can see how interesting he and Levi got along.

In the club he has coached before, Mourinho has a lot of disposable funds in the transfer window, but Levi is known for his caution in the transfer market. In the transfer window last summer, the relationship between the two began to crack. According to reports, Mourinho wanted to bring in Thomas Meunier, the Belgian right-back of Paris Saint-Germain, but the “Team Daily” revealed that Levi had different opinions on this, and Meunier joined the Bundesliga with a free transfer. Giants Dortmund.

It is reported that Mourinho does not want to loan Bale, he prefers the club to spend money to sign a central defender.

4. Unsightly games

It is easy to forget that Mourinho led Tottenham to the top of the Premier League standings in December last year. In the first 11 games, Tottenham beat Manchester United 6-1 and beat Manchester City and Arsenal 2-0. Although the start record is good, Mourinho is still criticized for his too pragmatic football style, he always let the team maintain possession of the ball, and then let Kane and Sun Xingmin give a fatal blow.

In this regard, Mourinho responded in an interview with Sky Sports: “If they don’t want to watch it, then don’t watch it. It’s that simple.”

“In the past few months, I have become an expert in this area. Even if I disagree with them, I will respect them.”

However, Tottenham’s over-dependence on Kane and Sun Xingmin eventually came back to the team.

Tottenham fell into a terrible state. In the Europa League knockout round, although Bai Lily achieved a 2-0 lead in the first leg, it was reversed 3-0 by Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg. After being eliminated, Mourinho’s coaching position is in jeopardy.

5. Condemnation from the fans

Although Mourinho led Tottenham to the League Cup final, and their last domestic final was in 2015, Tottenham fans still believe that they are right to ask for the dismissal of Mourinho.

Poor game results, conservative tactics…These are not what Tottenham should have, and the disgraceful elimination in the Europa League has caused Tottenham fans to start calling the club’s bosses and demanding the dismissal of the employer coach Mourinho.

Former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara said in an interview with Sky Sports that a 0-3 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the away game was enough for the club to fire Mourinho. His statement also angered Mourinho’s supporters.

In addition, he also added: “One game can save the season’s failure, they must beat Manchester City in the League Cup final.” Unfortunately, Mourinho has no such opportunity.

Right now, the former Tottenham youth team player Mason will lead the team to continue playing for the rest of the season. Next season, Tottenham hopes to hire Chris Powell as the team’s coach.

Now, Spurs need to be desperate for this season.

“I had a great relationship with Mourinho, all saw it. But the next day, I couldn’t understand what happened. This is the strange thing between me and Mourinho. I can’t explain it, by myself. I also do not know why “, the French midfielder stressed.

Pogba and Mourinho worked together in the 2016-2019 period. In the summer of 2016, Mourinho directly influenced MU leaders to spend 89 million pounds, recruiting Pogba from Juventus. This is the MU and Premier League record deal.

The French midfielder shined in the early stage of wearing MU shirt. From the second phase of the 2017/18 season, the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba deteriorated. Before “Special One” was fired, it was reported that Mourinho and Pogba did not want to see each other.

Under Solskjaer, Pogba gradually regained his form. This season, the French midfielder played 34 games, scored 5 goals and had 6 assists. Inspiration gradually returned to Pogba’s feet.

“Solskjaer’s coaching works, because he is close to the player. Of course, every coach has a different philosophy and the player has to adapt. There are some actions that make you uncomfortable,” Pogba continued. Continuity of the exchange.

Besides Pogba, Luke Shaw is another MU player who had a conflict with Mourinho. “Special person” publicly criticized Shaw in the newspaper in 2018. After that, Shaw determined to practice and was progressing at the hands of Solskjaer.

“Solskjaer helped Shaw a lot. That season (2017/18 – PV) was really hard for Shaw. He showed his ability when he received the trust from Solskjaer”, Pogba concluded.

Pogba: ‘They tried to get me fired’ The French star said that the Granada players made a mistake to provoke him to receive a second yellow card in MU’s 2-0 victory in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Mourinho is facing growing pressure at Tottenham. After losing to Man United last weekend, Spurs are now 6th on the rankings, 6 points behind the Champions League, 3 points behind the Europa League.

Spurs can still win tickets to the European Cup if they win the League Cup. But even then, they can only attend the UEFA Europa Conference League, the newly established European 3rd class arena and are expected to go into practice next year.

That may have been Spurs’ first title since 2008 but not enough to erase a failed season for the team if they fail to attend the major European arenas next season.

Chairman Daniel Levy is expected to find a new coach to replace Mourinho. Here are six potential candidates.

1. Nuno Santo

Santo is the top candidate to replace Mourinho at Tottenham

Former coach Valencia and Porto are having an unsuccessful season when Wolves are unlucky with injuries. Currently, this team is ranked 12th on the rankings, without having to worry about relegation but also no longer have the opportunity to attend the European Cup. However, Wolves’ successes in recent years are enough to prove Santo’s capabilities. Moreover, President Levy also admires the 47-year-old coach.

In January, there were rumors that Nuno Santo asked agent Jorge Mendes, who is also Mourinho’s agent, to help him find another club. And in case Mourinho is sacked by Spurs, Nuno Santo can dock Spurs.

2. Julian Nagelsmann

Nagelsmann is currently the coach of Leipzig. He is the youngest coach to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League with this feat last season. This season, Leipzig was eliminated by Liverpool from the eighth round but is still competing fiercely with Bayern in the Bundesliga arena.

Nagelsmann is one of the top coaches in Europe. He was linked to several Premier League football teams, including Chelsea before Tuchel was appointed. The play that the 33-year-old leader offers is enough to attract Levy if the Tottenham president decides to fire Mourinho.

3. Brendan Rodgers

Rodgers is flying high with Leicester in the Premier League, despite having limited financial potential, Tottenham’s BLD is in desperate need of this. Chairman Levy has reportedly wanted to appoint Rodgers in the past when he fired Redknapp in 2012.

Former Liverpool coach is considered one of the best strategists in the Premier League. He also did good jobs at Liverpool and Celtic before. And the challenge of making Tottenham a force is enough to attract the Northern Irish strategist.

4. Ralph Hasenhuttl

Hasenhuttl is currently coach Southampton. He used to help this team fly high earlier in the season but has been in decline recently. He is said to have many similarities with Pochettino, Mourinho’s predecessor was very successful at Tottenham.

The Austrian strategist is considered by experts to be one of the most talented coaches in the Premier League. Captain Southampton has a pretty special nickname “Jurgen Klopp of the Alps”.

5. Max Allegri

Allegri won 6 Serie A championships with AC Milan and Juventus. In an interview last year, he expressed interest in wanting to work in the UK and revealed that he is working hard to learn English.

Since then, there have been rumors that Allegri will accept a job at Man United, Chelsea and many other teams. Recruiting Allegri would be a successful deal for Daniel Levy.

6. Rafael Benitez

Benitez just broke up with the Chinese team in February and is looking for a job in England. Benitez’s only problem is that his football philosophy is somewhat pragmatic, promoting discipline that goes against Levy’s attacking direction.

He has brought Champions League titles, FA Cup and European Super Cup for Liverpool, Europa League titles for Chelsea and won many major trophies with Inter Milan, Valencia and Napoli. Most recently, Benitez helped Newcastle return to the Premier League. Benitez left Chinese football team Dalian Pro in January and will be open to the opportunity to return to work in the Premier League once again.
