Real
Madrid announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will leave the club at the end
of the season after three years in charge of the Spanish giants.
Real
Madrid president Florentino Perez broke the news at a packed news conference on
Monday.
"Nobody's
been sacked, it's a mutual agreement," said Perez. "We've decided to
bring our relationship to an end."
This
has been coming; Mourinho has made it clear on numerous occasions that he wasn’t
happy, that he didn’t feel loved, for the first time in his career he’d fallen
out with key players, and the fans.
Will
the same happen again? Can he replicate what he did first time round?
It’s
also a little strange when you analyse his time in Madrid he won the cup in his
first season, then in his second season he won the league with a record amount
of wins, points and goals, this season he got to the cup final, and on top of
that made it to the last four of the Champions League in all three seasons he’s
been there, yet he’s leaving on a rather sour and unfulfilled note.
He was
brought to Madrid to win them their 10th European Cup/Champions
League trophy, and he didn’t quite manage to do it, yet if you look at it in
the last three seasons he’s done exactly the same as what Mancini did with
City, cup, league, cup final and he did much better in Europe, yet Mancini can
be called very unlucky to have been sacked, whereas you can argue that Mourinho
has underachieved.
However
you may view his time in Madrid I’m glad he’s coming back to England, albeit he
is going to Chelsea, he is a character and his presence will enhance the league
next season the answers he gives to questions are much more refreshing than the
obvious text-book stuff you get from a lot of the others.
