I agree with you on your points above, because Mourinho is a coach can cannot do without wey itu players and he knows the kind of players that he needs to become successful at the end of the season. When he did not ha ve those players he will not be able to perform well in that season. Assuming Manchester united gave him the players he needed, he would have done something great during his time in United.
It was the same thing Mourinho said in Roma that led to his sack because he asked for players but look at it now Roma is suffering from a big problem because their performance is declining since the last quarter of last season. Wrong decisions by a club management can make the club suffer for long.
Jose Mourinho knows how to win trophies. He doesn't need the club owners telling him how to do his job. The Glazers did not give Jose Mourinho the freedom to pick the players he wanted in the transfer market like other teams he managed in the past. I saw in one of his interviews where he was asked about signing Didier Drogba at Chelsea in 2004. Jose Mourinho told Roman Abramovich to pay and not speak. We all know how successful Drogba went on to become in the premier league and for Chelsea. This was Mourinho’s style and he must have rubbed club owners the wrong way. Clubs do not like a manager they cannot control and will look for any excuse to sack you.
With all the trophies and achievements that Jose Mourinho has won, he has publicly acknowledged that finishing 2nd place with that Manchester United squad in 2018-2019 was his biggest achievement. That speaks volumes about his challenges at the club.
Mourinho's one of the kind. But at United, he was fighting with one hand tied behind his back. Ten Hag's getting the players he wants, Mourinho? Not so much. That second-place finish? Mourinho calls it his greatest achievement. Think about that. The guy's won everything, and he's proudest of coming in second. That tells you everything you need to know about the mess at United
Give Mourinho the same backing as Ten Hag, he wins the league. Easy. Mourinho's a control freak, always has been. He wants to pick the players, set the tactics, etc. That's how he wins. But at United, his hands were tied. Mourinho can be a pain in the ass. He'll fight with anyone, even the owners. But that because he cares. He wants to win, and he'll do whatever it takes
The problem is, football's a team sport. It's not just about the manager, it's about the whole club. Owners, players, everyone's got to be on the same page. Mourinho's got to learn to play nice, or he'll keep burning bridges
