Jose Mourinho has a history of turning on his team in tough times and it doesn’t end well

Tottenham’s draw with Newcastle on Sunday has brought out the uglier facet of Jose Mourinho, when yet again.

When questioned why his facet have endured so significantly from winning positions this year in their chase for a top four end in the Premier League, Mourinho basically replied: ‘Same coach, distinct players’.

Tottenham have dropped 13 details from winning positions in the previous fifteen minutes of matches this campaign. That statistic is damning for Spurs and Mourinho’s name as a prosperous topflight supervisor.

There have been murmurs of unrest powering the scenes at the North London club and Jose’s remark will not go down very well with Harry Kane and co. 

He additional to Sky Sports activities: ‘The issue for me in this minute is to established up a team that can earn but in the close a small little bit of deja vu. I imagine that a lot of of these white hairs appear with things I am not applied to observing in soccer matches in this degree.’

Mourinho’s bitter and bitterness towards his players has not generally been there.  

Arriving at Stamford Bridge back again in 2004, Mourinho took English soccer by storm with back again-to-back again Premier League triumphs and labelled himself as ‘the particular one’.

His soccer was quick-paced, his sideline manner and media existence was entertaining and individuals speedily stood up and took see him.  

Mourinho still left Chelsea in 2007 to get above at Inter Milan and later moved on to Real Madrid experiencing prosperous stints at each clubs and cementing his situation as a environment-class tactician. 

When on his illustrious tour as a result of Europe’s elite, Mourinho showcased an admirable means to get the blame for a inadequate general performance or outcome – eliminating responsibility and force away from his players and trying to keep a lot more eyes on him. 

You both liked him or you hated him, but no-just one could deny his star top quality at the helm of a terrific team.

This ongoing all through his 2nd-coming at Chelsea, as he led the club to an additional Premier league title and League Cup in his to start with year back again. 

But the tide would start to transform in the 2015/sixteen year, and Jose’s easy attraction would start to demonstrate cracks. 

Amid a operate of inadequate results and performances, Jose commenced to but blame on his players as they picked up just 11 details from their opening 12 Premier League matches. An awful commence to a title defence.

Mourinho experienced signed a new four-yr deal at the beginning of the campaign, but by December he was out the door with nine defeats in sixteen league matches. 

His star asset from the year prior, Eden Hazard – who experienced gained the Premier League’s Player of the 12 months award – commenced to wrestle below Jose’s routine and though he experimented with to tweak the practices to allow for him to try out distinct positions, almost nothing labored.

Following his departure, the club’s technical director Michael Emenalo advised of ‘palpable discord with the players’ ahead of his exit. He advised their in-residence tv channel: ‘There certainly appeared to be a palpable discord concerning supervisor and players and we truly feel it was time to act. The proprietor is compelled to make what was a pretty rough determination for the excellent of the club.’

Mourinho experienced made a divide powering closed doorways and tainted a excellent connection concerning himself and Chelsea Soccer Club. And this has not been a just one-off. This is a craze he has proven, and continues to demonstrate now with Tottenham.

Following Chelsea, Manchester United arrived forward to snap up Mourinho on a a few-yr deal in their determined hunt for a lot more silverware. 

And the Crimson Devils chiefs were still left delighted with his to start with yr in demand, winning the EFL Cup and Europa League with players this sort of as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul P
ogba leading the way for them.

His 2nd year turned patchy, and right after crashing out of the Champions League to Sevilla in the round of sixteen, he went on an remarkable 12-minute rant exactly where he blasted stats at reporters, citing ‘football heritage’ as to why he was however the proper person for United and stating how ‘happy’ he was even with the supporters booing him.

And he failed to only create a divide with the fanbase. His connection with Paul Pogba turned frosty. Mourinho stripped Pogba of his vice-captaincy job at the club and shortly right after a education online video emerged of the two possessing a tense trade at Carrington. 

He also took a pretty public dig at still left-back again Luke Shaw as he claimed the defender performed with his ‘own overall body but my brain’. 

Following a match with Everton, Jose stated: ‘He experienced a excellent general performance, but it was his overall body with my brain. He was in front of me, and I was creating each determination for him.’ 

The boss would be exceptionally animated and continually shouting directions to Shaw from the sidelines and a short while ago, Shaw opened up on how rough it was below Mourinho.

‘It was complicated due to the fact I was not able to get my phrase throughout,’ Shaw advised the BBC this year.

‘A large amount of individuals were powering me here, so I knew I experienced that backing, but I just essential to keep my head down and keep quiet.’

And if you phone his 2nd year was patchy, his 3rd year was a calamity. 

The to start with four months of the 2018/19 campaign proved to be his previous at Outdated Trafford and he still left in a blaze of controversy and craziness.

Mourinho demanded ‘respect’ from journalists as he ranted: ‘I gained a lot more Premier Leagues by yourself than the other 19 supervisors [in the league] collectively.’

‘I am the supervisor of the just one of the best clubs in the environment but I am also just one of the best supervisors in the environment.’

There was also a tunnel bust-up with a Chelsea coach right after his facet conceded a 96th minute equaliser from Ross Barkley at Stamford Bridge. 

Inspite of his team only winning seven of their to start with 19 matches that year, Mourinho entirely stole the headlines with times of anger and madness and generally spoke arrogantly about himself with the media. It was clear he has misplaced the dressing space.

Mourinho was sacked in December 2018 and the mystique he experienced when possessed experienced evaporated into skinny air. 

So truly, it is no shock that now at Tottenham the exact same sample is playing out. 

Mourinho has truly commenced to showcase his limited fuse and has caused clear rifts within the squad. 

His connection with Real Madrid loanee Gareth Bale has still left a lot of scratching their heads. What was intended to be a mouth-watering reunion for the Spurs devoted and their previous golden child has grow to be a puzzling discussion on social media and among pundits.

Gifted midfielder Dele Alli has also gained an exceptionally chilly shoulder from Jose right after being vanquished to the fringes of the squad. Harry Winks is an additional to be brushed aside by the boss. 

Extra a short while ago, he still left the Spurs squad and staff baffled with his remarks on Toby Alderweireld, insisting that he was not able to engage in versus Newcastle due to the fact he failed to educate even with the club releasing footage of him at the education ground a few times before the sport.

The indications are there. Mourinho is losing his players and the players are losing perception in him. 

A when formidable supervisor, who prided himself on his team’s sport management and means to earn trophies at almost any expense is now chopping a pretty frustrated figure at an additional topflight clu
b. 

His times at Tottenham appear to be numbered, but are his times at the top also coming to a depressing close?
