At Inter Milan he inherited a team which had won a few Serie A titles in a row already. They were already pretty good. And winning the Champion's league with Porto was great but in the knockout stages, his opponents were Man U, Lyon, Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco.
Fair play on the 2004 CL but I personally hate the Inter CL win because of EUFA's unfair approach regarding the Icaland volcanic eruption. Barca, their SF opponent, had to take an 18hour bus ride to Milan, arriving barely three hours ahead of kickoff. Two weeks later Inter took a 1hour plane hop to Barcelona for the return, then parked the plane to a 1-0 defeat that won them the tie. Doesn't seem fair .....
Within 8 months, he delivered the first ever UEFA cup(conference cup) in 98 years of Roma's legacy and in the second season a UEFA Europa League Final. And you say he is over, one minute silence for those who believe José is done.
Wait and see. Just let them wait and see. They will all be surprised. We all know the facts. Roma had never reached back to back finals in history. The media love to destroy him. Jose will rise again and surprise everybody, even those who value him like us
@@VladRadu-tq1pg I agree that Roma are better now, but you must admit that he built that foundation of success. He brought in quality players and a winning mentality/ confidence.
Jose used to win the champions league. Downfall is playing conference. Roma used to be a champions league club. Man Utd used to play champions league. Downfall is celebrating Europa league.
@@alexanderomucheyi1857thats not downfall, downfall is managing big clubs and never winning jose took challenge everywhere and won them throphy to best of tools given to him for me his downfall never began he is special one until he hangs his coat as manager❤
@@alexanderomucheyi1857 Roma had 0 trophies in 15 years. Mourinho got them one. And 1>0. The fact is Roma decline already began in 2018 when they sold majority of the star players like salah, alisson, naingollan etc. Plus they are having losses, without finances, no team can compete in UCL or in the league. 😊
Liverpool fan here so no bias for Jose whatsoever but love him or hate him the man has won pretty much everything the game has to offer at club level in many different countries too. What he did at Porto was incredible, he turned Chelsea into a well oiled winning machine, he defied the odds with Inter and won the champions league ! He got the better of Pep and won la liga there , came back to Chelsea won the league yet again ! Won a Europa league with United and galvanized a vastly underachieving and disjointed squad of players with some shrewd signings. List goes on and on . I dont like his antics, don't like his brand of football but have to respect him he's a winner and he's won a truckload of silverware.
I don't think he's a fallen star, he has been managing middle tier teams for a while now. Even Ancelotti was helpless coaching a low level team like Everton.
Which only proves that you are not the best coach because you won something with a top rich club but with a club like Porto Leicester Inter Atletico Dortmund , clubs that couldnt do much before you and to bring the best of them. Same goes for players, without a great team no top player would win anything, including Messi Ronaldo and so on. Only Maradona could do it.
@@David-kf9no actually ancelotti and jose did wonders for everton and roma, even tottenham if he'd been allowed to manage the final, which shows their greatness unlike fraudiola
24 years become a Man United fan. I must admit that Mourinho is a hell of character. I remember when I was a kid, he beat Man United at Champions League when he was at Porto and 3-0 at Chelsea. You may hate him for first glance, but saw what he did at Inter Milan & his legacy at Chelsea & basically cursed era of Manchester United. He earn my respect, he"s no a villain, he just have a strong character, eventhough it didn't end well at Manchester United. I hope he will get another successful journey, even he got sack at AS Roma. His achievements would be hard to replicate.
Mou bought Pogba, and then failed to man-manage him. Man-management used to be Jose's super-power. He lost that at Real Madrid. Indeed, he quickly fell out with the dressing room everywhere he went from Real Madrid onwards.
Mourinho is not finished. It was because of the club he managed. Managing Tottenham, Man U and Roma affected his Career. He should go back to manage Big clubs like Pep always managing Big clubs with Big and experienced players.
Awful video title, and I’m guessing an awful video because I’m not going to bother watching it. He’s had bad jobs (United, Spurs, Roma) and still been successful. He could’ve easily waited and got a Real Madrid/PSG job but challenged himself. He never fell off.
Whoever did this video is a genius. How did you manage to get all these clips? You really did a great job putting this video together. That's a lot of downloading there. Good job mate
@@FootyFrontier Congrats on the effort you've put into making this video bit, indeed good work; still, the title says "The Real Reason Why The 'Special One' Fell Off" and I've watched the whole video and there is not one single reason being mentioned by you. Any thoughts on that, sir ?
@@FootyFrontier The legend Jose Mourinho. The man is a really great manager, he definitely has his flaws but he is still one of the greats. I want to make business enquiries, please how do I reach you. Any email address??
Downfall? Really? Jose Mourinho was 41 when he came to prominence at Porto after winning League Championship, Portuguese FA Cup and UEFA Cup in 2002/03, and added the European Cup the next season and joined Chelsea in 2004, on a 5 year deal. He won 2 League Championships, FA Cup and 2 League Cups before being sacked in 2007/08. He would later go on to manage Inter Milan, Real Madrid, return to Chelsea for 2 years, Manchester United and Roma. He added further Italian League Championships, Coppa Italia, European Cup, Spanish League Championship, Spanish Cup, English League Championship and League Cup, and League Cup and UEFA Cup at Man United and European Conference League at Roma. In 2011/12 he led Real Madrid to a famous League title accumalating over100 points. Now aged 61, he be back.
He’s getting sacked more often than winning trophies recently. He’s a good coach no doubt but he has not adapted to modern football. Others have adopted to him but he hasn’t.
Jose is like a one hit wonder record, he guarantees you a trophy in the first season but the following seasons he falls off and can’t keep consistency.
Yeah. Plus his methods take too much of a toll. He's too extreme in the way he does things. After 2 years everyone is burned out: him, his players, the staff, the chairman. Even journalists and other managers are sick of him at that stage. By Year 3 he has scorched the place and he has no choice but to leave.
But what he guarantees is top 1st place finish with any team who is in the top 4 within 2-3 year managing that team! Manchester U could have by now won the PL multiple times!
@@dazzaMusic Exactly. And he was never going to win the PL with Utd and Spurs. There's no way post 2015 Mourinho beats Klopp and Guardiola to a league title. The truth is he's declined in coaching ability and man management, and it's terminal. He's still a good manager, good enough to win a domestic cup and the Europa League. But the top prizes? The Champions League and a major league title in a competitive country like England, Spain or Italy? Highly doubtful. I think that time has passed. He was a great manager, now he's just a good manager. His record from 02-12 speaks for itself, but look at the drop off since then. His last league win was Chelsea in 2015. That's almost a decade ago, and he's never challenged for the league or CL since. His time at Madrid ruined him. He's not special anymore. The likes of Newcastle, PSG or international football awaits.
To be honest, I do not care about his supposed downfall because he's done it all as an manager even in situations when it was not in his favor, he delivered. Loved his way of my or the highway appriach because he realized that the game of football is about MEN who are supposed to follow his approach and has guided him to win titles. He did not not once like to coddle players in the public or overhype them. He is the one manager that I would play for. He has paved the way at every club especially Chelsea and Real Madrid to be the juggernaut that they are. Not once did he become this hipster who pretend to play "sexy football". He did it his way
When he went to Roma they were in an awful position and in decline. They are now one of the better sides in the division despite having little spending power. Tottenham was a failure, but who sacks a manager on the eve of a final? An impossible job. Man Utd was a mess with no backing from the board, but he was still their most successful manager since Ferguson. He turned Madrid back into a force. Mourinho may not be what he was at Porto and Chelsea and Inter, but he is still one of the best and one of the greatest managers of all time. Show him respect.
Same reason why most managers fall off - they get old and their revolutionary ideas become stale and predictable - the game moves on and they get left behind.
@jaxthejaximus6296 To go in-depth, he doesn't set his teams up like Klopp/Guardiola do. He plays an overly defensive style of football with a rigid attack that doesn't have creativity. His teams don't press, they track back too much, and they struggle to break down low blocks. A lot of emphasis needs to be put on the "no pressing" part. That's a huge factor in why he's no longer at the top of world football
I disliked him in his peak years but easily rate him as the best manager in the 2000s alongside Ancelotti. What's amazing is that even people like myself who are no fans of Mourinho can see how good he used to be, but his fanboys continue to remain oblivious to the man's failings. We are talking here about someone who used to be a serial league winner but has failed to crack the Top 4 of the league - PL and Serie A - for 8 of the last 9 seasons he's managed!
I do not think any of u realise what the downfall is, nor y it happen. Some of the best footballers came from off the streets. They missed school, etc. Now, things have changed. They come from clubs. Mourinho became a father figure to most of his teams and got the best of them. Now, these guys do not need a father figure. He needed other ways to reach them and could not change his style. By the time he came to Manchester, he had become abusive. Most footballers now r nurtured with care. He needs to change
He won enough to prove himself, he is definitely on the top 3 of best football manger of this generation and that's enough to make him deserve being called aka the special one. He may not comeback like he used to, but he definitely left his mark on the history of managerial football.
@@neilvarghese6115 They way he played at Madrid was cowardly, he had the most expensive team in the world play like Wimbledon. And he still lost to Barca more than he won. He underachieved at Real, and he did so serving up a miserable style of football. It's why he lost the dressing room - and the fans. Indeed, his cowardly brand of anti football alienated the fans at Madrid , United and Spurs. All teams where the fans demand stylish, attacking, brave football. It's difficult to understand why he was appointed to those clubs, it was obvious his style would never fit with the clubs' ethos. So, yes, logic does not always prevail.
He's a great coach. Man Utd won a couple of trophies under Jose and finished second in the league. Can anyone see Eric Ten Quid doing that. Guardiola has only ever achieved at established super clubs. Jose did it without a cheque book at Porto and Inter. Man's a legend in the game.
He would have had yet another trophy with Spurs had the ruthless Daniel Levy not sacked him a week before the League Cup final. Shocking decision. It wasn't always pretty but this was (and still is) a manager who truly delivered!
Jose used to call out Wenger for only winning small trophies and now he can only win small trophies... Mourinho last won a league title in 2014/15, 9 years ago, he's got to accept he's past it
That’s cap bro Jose is a bigger manger than arsene wenger …Jose is his own downfall he doesn’t want to adapt to the changes of football and tactics he wants to use his own methods that he had over the years …if Jose change and adapt to this current football tactics he would still be a top manger
@@quironmalcolm6174 he clearly can't adapt anymore, if he can and continues to play his dire football because of pride then he's not as smart as we all think he is
@@sparkie4604 no he can adapt bro adapt he method to Roma that doesn’t have the quality players he wants so he more than can adapt but I think it’s because of his pride that he choose not to
@gouravleekha Why did he win the League with Chelsea for the 1st time since Ancelotti did back in 09-10? Conte largely had his team + Kante, and should have won with Chelsea then given that Hazard, Fabregas, Matic, Costa spine. And oh yeah won the Europa League at Man Utd, getting the most out of average players like Antonio Valencia who failed under Moyes and LVG. Spurs was a failure, but it's typical Bottleham. And Roma who knows. I'm a Utd fan trust me, our lads from up North were saying play Rashford down the middle, not wide. Ten Hag I don't like him because of CR7, would do well at a club like Villa or Arsenal who have good recruitment
He could have won Europa league and rome could have played in champions league but who saw the finals knows one after one players getting injured didn't help him win that night. No depth in that team and also injuries made him not win another trophy for roma. I think he should manage some team where nobody is hoping for him to win every time where he could build a team as he used to do.
Having as an attacking trio, Pellegrini, Lukaku and Dybala. On the bench Azmoun, El Shaarawy etc, playing in Serie A and claiming, that Roma is not build to get to the top 4. This is Jose Mourinho!
How many matches did Pellegrini, Lukaku and Dybala played together this seasons? Most of the time they were on the bench due to injury (Pellegrini, Dybala). The real world is not working like your FIFA online game, the good squad needs rotation, replacement for injury. Roma was no where near top 4 competition.
@@duydatyds well, since I don't know you, we can "meet" here at the end of the season and you will see that Roma with DDR will finish top 4, thing that Mou never did in his previous two seasons. Ah and I never played Play Station in my life...
Roma finished 6th this season. I watched every Roma game when he was the manager there and his style of play changes with different opponents. He's not boring or always parking the bus, but it's super pragmatic. Every player in Roma wanted to play for him when he took over, but the reality of the situation then was that not everyone there had the quality to make the club go to CL. Roma literally did not have enough players so much so Jose had to dip into the youth club to bolster his bench. The management grew tired of his whining, and Serie A officials hate him too. Roma was also in financial difficulty with FFP restrictions. You cannot compete at top level when the bench is comprised of youth players and your first team have to play every single game. Plus Romas one and only quality striker was injured the whole of the 2nd season. I love Roma but Jose's stint at Roma was unfair to him. Wish him the best of luck.
Why is everyone on their knees for mourinho. Hes obviously one of the greatest managers of all time and his chelsea, real madrid, porto, and inter teams are historic. But he started off strongly at united but he deserved the sack and outed pogba for no reason. People seem to forget that pogba was united's best player and mourinho treated him unlike that. His football was stale and the same happened at tottenham, although he should have won a trophy before he was sacked. Roma, good cup performances, underwhelming league performances. He's not cut out for a 38 game league campaign at the highest level, but still an elite cup manager. I think the shift within mourinho that has made him fall off is instead of dying for his players in the press, he singles them out, and with the combination of boring football, he ended up in turkey
I think Dortmund suits him well because they have the best scouting unit and that way the fans support them will encourage him to be the greatest.He don't want tremendous money to buy players he just wanted high potential players with talents.He loves to build a castle which is already broken.
He said it before, everyone need to play their role and be in the game. He cant coach a player who dont want to play, who cant admit, who wont follow instructions. he also cant do his job when owner over-ruled his decision. Teams that lack experiences he bring in 1 or 2 experiences player, lack ambition he gave them a small success but big long term goals, he will be harsh to those that lacks discipline, but all that in order to win matches, and winning is the fuel for a player confidence. At the end of the day 90mins on the pitch are defined by the players.
The archetypal Marmite manager. You either love or hate him, with seemingly no in between options. In my opinion he became a bit of a one-trick pony, relying on tactics and a man-management approach which were revealed to be ineffective during that second Chelsea spell. I thought the sniping and moaning, the seeming lack of humility, the refusal to adapt, the constant grudges… it all became tiresome. Great legacy, and a very successful manager at the top level, but at what cost to his sense of self? In recent months/years he has looked a shadow of the man he was.
I always thought the "special one" statement wasn't arrogant at all. He didn't say "I am the special one", he said "I am a special one", which is perfectly reasonable seeing as he'd just won the CL with Porto
He failed to evolve and teams started to learn how to unpark his buses. He's the guy you run to when you're desperate & discard after winning, if not he'll bring everything crashing down. Still a great manager
It's simple. He's lost ability. It happens to every player, manager and sportsman. They can't go on forever. It predominantly comes down to 2 things imo: 1. Mourinho has lost coaching ability. He's lost the ability to coach defence to the elite level he used to be able to. His Chelsea 05 side only conceded 15 goals in the entire league season. Now his teams over the last decade have regularly conceded 3 and 4 goals in matches which was unthinkable when he was in his prime. 2. He has lost his man management skills. His time at Madrid turned him into a bitter old man. Pre Madrid he was the master of man management. He'd support, motivate and protect players at all costs, ensuring their love and loyalty. Now he seems to hate players, distrusting them and actively throwing them under the bus publically. When he leaves clubs these days few players are sad to see him go.
I think Mourinho's "downfall" (if you want to call it that) began once he started to criticize players in public. His attitude always worked well as a protective shield for his players. But once that changed, his success rate went down. I think he can still do well if given enough time.
They said it was over when he left Chelsea. They said it was over when he left United. They said it was over when he left Roma. Still won silverware at all those clubs. You don't have to like him, but to disrespect him is unnecessary
I still hate how he got probably the least amount of support from the Man Utd board among all the managers here since SAF. It could've been so much more.
Those United players that underperformed, did José a dirty. This doc abt Mourinho has me respecting him again. I sort of know how he feels. Stamp your authority on who you manage. Those superstar players at United grew a bit of an ego. They should have just bowed down and followed instructions(and accept the abuse). People are very difficult to manage. you need THEM to show how good you are. But if they dont want to, u screwed. A Manager needs utmost respect to do his job. His "Special One" label was NOT as arrogant as I thought before. It was said very casually, and the press went for it. He proved them wrong. He is still the special one. Keep fighting José!!!
"Jose Mourinho stands out as one of football's most iconic managers, celebrated for his tactical brilliance and unparalleled success across Europe's top leagues. From guiding FC Porto to an improbable Champions League triumph, to orchestrating Inter Milan's treble-winning season, Mourinho's career is a testament to his strategic acumen and ability to inspire teams to greatness. Beyond his tactical prowess, Mourinho's charismatic personality and unwavering confidence have made him a captivating figure in the sport, commanding respect and admiration worldwide. His legacy extends far beyond trophies, shaping modern football with his innovative approaches and winning mentality. Jose Mourinho's impact on the game is undeniable, cementing his place among the all-time greats of football management."
Great video, imo top three managers of the modern generation (i.e. 2000 and after) but it's José not Hosé... the people in your excerpt clips including himself should have indicated otherwise.
I think the word downfall is heavy of a word. Mourinho has always been a victim of circumstances at every club he's managed. It's normally a clash of egos because he tells the bosses the ugly truth they normally don't want to hear. Give him absolute control of a club and the best financing with players then the sky is the limit
Mourinho tried to replicate the great success he had with his first coaching gigs meaning Porto, Inter , Real and Chelsea which was not easy to achieve. Now he’s trying to come back from far down , he’s trying to tell the world I am still the special one . I thought he could’ve done something with Roma but we all know what happened .
Mourinho was only surpassed by Sir Alex and if he chooses the pick a national squad and wins continental and world cup trophies, he would be the best ever. He should get more respect. The man spent 9 years without losing a home match when he had competitive teams to manage.
They also said its over for acceloti but............ Just know that mouriho had not been allowed free playing since his Chelsea Doctor downfall in 2015 as the fans have always turned the clubs against him, and mind it roma never took care of him in getting him valuable players not to mention quality players. Yet, maybe its an honeymoon period or probably am right as we might see, it appeared mouriho, as confirmed by the uecL and back to back euro finals for roma, it seems mouriho got the best out of the roma players that the new coach ( de rossi) is now enjoying with about 7 wins out of 9 and only 1 loss. The media and the former bad fans at man United and Tottenham couldn't let the roma players give their best respect for mouriho by playing all their hearts much as citizens players does for pep because they carried over a bad labelling for mouriho unto roma. Yet, he wasn't assaulted at roma as he was in earlier 2 clubs. Moreso, the people that were on mouriho at man United, Tottenham, and even the late Chelsea spell in 2015 could now see that mouriho wasn't the problem at those places as non is doing well currently except a moment of epL and ucl at Chelsea. The terrible fans are off his back and i can only expect him on a new restart of life at a new bigger club - Liverpool, Chelsea, bayern, even psg and maybe Madrid should acce gat to leave. Once mouriho could do his job without those terrible fans and media, you'll find out hes better than pep. Mouriho has been compared with some numbers of one season coaches since his assault-times at man United and Tottenham, but now, where are all those one season wonders. Tuchel, neggelsman, ten hag, poche, flink, etc. There's only 2 coaches that have measured up to mouriho since his 2015 Chelsea downfall and thats pep and klopp. Acceloti is a third but he was also said to be useless until appointed by Madrid. Klopp may be another benitez but at least until he leaves Liverpool before we can confirm. Aside those real 3 equals to jose performance since 2015, which othwr coach have been consistent as mouriho was >>> 1. 2015 epL trophy at Chelsea and carabo cup 2. 2017 europa and carabo at United 3. 2018 epL at man United to be confirmed in 2025 by man City ban. 4. 2021 carabo cup final at Tottenham unplayed 5 days to the cup. 5. 2022 uecl cup at roma 6. 2023 back to back euro final europa cup negatively lost to sevilla Who else is consistent. Once he have a decent job just as Acceloti, then you shall all see that his downfall was just a product of haters attack.
Karma finally caught up with him. A bad influence on football. He's not called the Darth Vader of football for nothing. I'll never forget how he sent out his team, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Carvalho, Kovacic to take down Messi,as well as others, and do whatever it takes to win. Well, most of the time Barcelona won. Had Real practiced more instead of committing brutal fouls, they might have won more games. Mourinho was overheard telling his players, before a match that young Messi came back from injury, to take down Messi. I read a whole book on the conflict between the negative football of Mourinho's Real and the positive football of Pep's Barcelona. It's no wonder Mourinho is in decline, maybe at the end of the line, and Pep is flying high. Karma is a bitch.
In Italy, fans of 17 teams were happy that Roma had signed Mourinho because, with him, they were considered almost a "soft" team. Despite having strong players, they managed to play very badly and it was quite easy for everyone to get points against them. He won the Conference League because he played against unpresentable teams: Trabzonspor, Bodo/Glimt, CSKA Sofia, Zorya Luhansk, and Vitesse. He was extremely lucky against Leicester and in the final he faced a very normal Feyenoord. The value of these teams was many times lower than that of Roma in economic terms. Even Leicester is worth more than 100 million euros less, despite playing in the Premier League. Moreover, he has made Italian football more hostile due to all his fantasies about the conspiracy against him and Roma. He has been one of the most ridiculous and toxic figures seen in Serie A in the last 30 years.
He is a winner no question about it but he wins with boring football. For me how you win is as important, because football is also enterteinment but this is very subjective of course. I just wouldn't like him on my team cause he would make us play like a small team. I remember one semifinal with Barça he played with 10 defensive players and Drogba. His number 10 that game was Ramires... hahahah NO thx! (he lost btw) And for people that says he's better than Guardiola because he coached teams like porto or roma that doesn't make any sense. The difference is that Pep doen't need to go that "low" because he was never fired in his carreer not even once, Mourinho was fired several times. If I have Senna or Hamilton as a driver you don't give him an Opel Corsa to drive, you give him a Ferrari or a Lambo.
Sure hes still getting results winning stuff cant say its a total downfall but last ten years hes gone too nasty melo dramatic. Sure was always controversial but was never angry twisted in early days.
Guardiola has won loads of trophies at big clubs with big budgets. What Mourinho achieved with Porto and Inter Milan however is another level.
At Inter Milan he inherited a team which had won a few Serie A titles in a row already. They were already pretty good. And winning the Champion's league with Porto was great but in the knockout stages, his opponents were Man U, Lyon, Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco.
yet he couldnt do it with Madrid or Chelsea or United. Also inter was not some underdog team in 2010
Fair play on the 2004 CL but I personally hate the Inter CL win because of EUFA's unfair approach regarding the Icaland volcanic eruption.
Barca, their SF opponent, had to take an 18hour bus ride to Milan, arriving barely three hours ahead of kickoff. Two weeks later Inter took a 1hour plane hop to Barcelona for the return, then parked the plane to a 1-0 defeat that won them the tie. Doesn't seem fair .....

Mou bought Pogba, and then failed to man-manage him. Man-management used to be Jose's super-power. He lost that at Real Madrid. Indeed, he quickly fell out with the dressing room everywhere he went from Real Madrid onwards.

Mourinho is not finished. It was because of the club he managed. Managing Tottenham, Man U and Roma affected his Career. He should go back to manage Big clubs like Pep always managing Big clubs with Big and experienced players.
Awful video title, and I’m guessing an awful video because I’m not going to bother watching it. He’s had bad jobs (United, Spurs, Roma) and still been successful. He could’ve easily waited and got a Real Madrid/PSG job but challenged himself. He never fell off.
Whoever did this video is a genius. How did you manage to get all these clips? You really did a great job putting this video together. That's a lot of downloading there. Good job mate

The legend Jose Mourinho.
The man is a really great manager, he definitely has his flaws but he is still one of the greats.
I want to make business enquiries, please how do I reach you.
Any email address??
Downfall? Really? Jose Mourinho was 41 when he came to prominence at Porto after winning League Championship, Portuguese FA Cup and UEFA Cup in 2002/03, and added the European Cup the next season and joined Chelsea in 2004, on a 5 year deal. He won 2 League Championships, FA Cup and 2 League Cups before being sacked in 2007/08. He would later go on to manage Inter Milan, Real Madrid, return to Chelsea for 2 years, Manchester United and Roma. He added further Italian League Championships, Coppa Italia, European Cup, Spanish League Championship, Spanish Cup, English League Championship and League Cup, and League Cup and UEFA Cup at Man United and European Conference League at Roma. In 2011/12 he led Real Madrid to a famous League title accumalating over100 points. Now aged 61, he be back.
His style doesn’t suit modern football
He’s getting sacked more often than winning trophies recently. He’s a good coach no doubt but he has not adapted to modern football. Others have adopted to him but he hasn’t.
Jose is like a one hit wonder record, he guarantees you a trophy in the first season but the following seasons he falls off and can’t keep consistency.
Yeah. Plus his methods take too much of a toll. He's too extreme in the way he does things. After 2 years everyone is burned out: him, his players, the staff, the chairman. Even journalists and other managers are sick of him at that stage. By Year 3 he has scorched the place and he has no choice but to leave.
But what he guarantees is top 1st place finish with any team who is in the top 4 within 2-3 year managing that team! Manchester U could have by now won the PL multiple times!
@@ExsTheBlues Did he win Serie A with Roma? No he didn’t.
@@dazzaMusic Exactly. And he was never going to win the PL with Utd and Spurs. There's no way post 2015 Mourinho beats Klopp and Guardiola to a league title. The truth is he's declined in coaching ability and man management, and it's terminal. He's still a good manager, good enough to win a domestic cup and the Europa League. But the top prizes? The Champions League and a major league title in a competitive country like England, Spain or Italy? Highly doubtful. I think that time has passed.
He was a great manager, now he's just a good manager. His record from 02-12 speaks for itself, but look at the drop off since then. His last league win was Chelsea in 2015. That's almost a decade ago, and he's never challenged for the league or CL since. His time at Madrid ruined him. He's not special anymore. The likes of Newcastle, PSG or international football awaits.
He did the same at Roma, singling out and criticising players in public, very boring football, and the team was really down!
Mourinho was fantastic...unfortunately foot
ball has changed and he is still trying to play his old way...everyone has moved on
To be honest, I do not care about his supposed downfall because he's done it all as an manager even in situations when it was not in his favor, he delivered. Loved his way of my or the highway appriach because he realized that the game of football is about MEN who are supposed to follow his approach and has guided him to win titles. He did not not once like to coddle players in the public or overhype them. He is the one manager that I would play for. He has paved the way at every club especially Chelsea and Real Madrid to be the juggernaut that they are. Not once did he become this hipster who pretend to play "sexy football". He did it his way
When he went to Roma they were in an awful position and in decline. They are now one of the better sides in the division despite having little spending power. Tottenham was a failure, but who sacks a manager on the eve of a final? An impossible job. Man Utd was a mess with no backing from the board, but he was still their most successful manager since Ferguson. He turned Madrid back into a force. Mourinho may not be what he was at Porto and Chelsea and Inter, but he is still one of the best and one of the greatest managers of all time. Show him respect.
I remember him saying " the secret is how do you get a superstar on 100 k a week to track back 100 yards to help your defence"
Underrated comment
Same reason why most managers fall off - they get old and their revolutionary ideas become stale and predictable - the game moves on and they get left behind.
Ferguson was winning trophies at Man Utd in his 60's and 70's.
Football didn't ruin Jose. Jose ruined himself. If he was more open towards change, he'd still be the best in the world right now.
Can you tell me what people mean when they say that his style is no longer suited to the current era? What has changed? I’m newer to football.
@jaxthejaximus6296 To go in-depth, he doesn't set his teams up like Klopp/Guardiola do. He plays an overly defensive style of football with a rigid attack that doesn't have creativity. His teams don't press, they track back too much, and they struggle to break down low blocks. A lot of emphasis needs to be put on the "no pressing" part. That's a huge factor in why he's no longer at the top of world football
If he didn't stick to his principles he probably wouldn't have beaten that famous Barca side so many times..
@@ottson But that was back then. Now he's managing in Turkey
The king of defensive football
Of agressive, dirty football.
The king of anti-football. Of sly, cowardly football.
Give me Jurgen Klopp any day.
I disliked him in his peak years but easily rate him as the best manager in the 2000s alongside Ancelotti. What's amazing is that even people like myself who are no fans of Mourinho can see how good he used to be, but his fanboys continue to remain oblivious to the man's failings.
We are talking here about someone who used to be a serial league winner but has failed to crack the Top 4 of the league - PL and Serie A - for 8 of the last 9 seasons he's managed!
"i think boring is 10 years without a title" , arsenal fan here but what a burn... :))
Arsenal fan here too but Wenger couldn't deal with José's mind games
I do not think any of u realise what the downfall is, nor y it happen.
Some of the best footballers came from off the streets. They missed school, etc. Now, things have changed. They come from clubs.
Mourinho became a father figure to most of his teams and got the best of them. Now, these guys do not need a father figure. He needed other ways to reach them and could not change his style. By the time he came to Manchester, he had become abusive. Most footballers now r nurtured with care. He needs to change
Exactly! You can moan all you want about today's players but other managers are still winning trophies with them.
He will be back. Football is a game of snakes and ladders
you would be lucky to have him. what a manager. went 9 years unbeaten at home. Not even Pep did that - respect respect
he is pure box office. Definitely one of the most charismatic manager of all time.
He won enough to prove himself, he is definitely on the top 3 of best football manger of this generation and that's enough to make him deserve being called aka the special one. He may not comeback like he used to, but he definitely left his mark on the history of managerial football.
Nope, he proved he could win games only one way and when idea was countered he had nothing left to counter with himself.
Top 3 managers ? He's surely behind Saf, Pep, Carlo, Del Bosque, Brian Clough, Sacchi
You may have to play a team better than you but you have to find a way to win- a philosophy for life
Sure, but hardly an appropriate philosophy when you are managing Real Madrid.
@@tonyb9735 this is the real world logical things don’t always happen
@@neilvarghese6115 They way he played at Madrid was cowardly, he had the most expensive team in the world play like Wimbledon. And he still lost to Barca more than he won. He underachieved at Real, and he did so serving up a miserable style of football. It's why he lost the dressing room - and the fans.
Indeed, his cowardly brand of anti football alienated the fans at Madrid , United and Spurs. All teams where the fans demand stylish, attacking, brave football. It's difficult to understand why he was appointed to those clubs, it was obvious his style would never fit with the clubs' ethos. So, yes, logic does not always prevail.
He's a great coach. Man Utd won a couple of trophies under Jose and finished second in the league. Can anyone see Eric Ten Quid doing that. Guardiola has only ever achieved at established super clubs. Jose did it without a cheque book at Porto and Inter. Man's a legend in the game.
He’s back, and he sees a challenge in the Turkish team Fenerbahçe, which hasn't won the league title in 10 years.
Record champions with 28
He would have had yet another trophy with Spurs had the ruthless Daniel Levy not sacked him a week before the League Cup final. Shocking decision. It wasn't always pretty but this was (and still is) a manager who truly delivered!
One word…..BRILLIANT……There is no downfall….he will always be the TOP COACH
Jose used to call out Wenger for only winning small trophies and now he can only win small trophies... Mourinho last won a league title in 2014/15, 9 years ago, he's got to accept he's past it
Jose's Third season arc Is deadly at every club
The downfall began when he called arsene wenger specialist in failure and he has been failing since then.
That’s cap bro Jose is a bigger manger than arsene wenger …Jose is his own downfall he doesn’t want to adapt to the changes of football and tactics he wants to use his own methods that he had over the years …if Jose change and adapt to this current football tactics he would still be a top manger
@@quironmalcolm6174 he clearly can't adapt anymore, if he can and continues to play his dire football because of pride then he's not as smart as we all think he is
@@sparkie4604 no he can adapt bro adapt he method to Roma that doesn’t have the quality players he wants so he more than can adapt but I think it’s because of his pride that he choose not to
@gouravleekha Why did he win the League with Chelsea for the 1st time since Ancelotti did back in 09-10? Conte largely had his team + Kante, and should have won with Chelsea then given that Hazard, Fabregas, Matic, Costa spine. And oh yeah won the Europa League at Man Utd, getting the most out of average players like Antonio Valencia who failed under Moyes and LVG. Spurs was a failure, but it's typical Bottleham. And Roma who knows. I'm a Utd fan trust me, our lads from up North were saying play Rashford down the middle, not wide. Ten Hag I don't like him because of CR7, would do well at a club like Villa or Arsenal who have good recruitment
@@DaveSeville-sf1ku nah spurs failed him he could have won a trophy with them but no sack him before a final …I tell you about bottleham
He could have won Europa league and rome could have played in champions league but who saw the finals knows one after one players getting injured didn't help him win that night. No depth in that team and also injuries made him not win another trophy for roma.
I think he should manage some team where nobody is hoping for him to win every time where he could build a team as he used to do.
Jose won trophies at United, including their first ever Uefa cup/Europa League
And then he crashed and burned when trying to step up a notch. Just like in Chelsea, just like in Spurs and just like in Roma.
That's right. They were a CL club when he arrived but he didn't get far in that so they took a step down, despite spending 380m.
He made me love football even more!
What a career!
Lovely video lovely editing mate.
If you can please share a few resources for those editing assets
Man United killed his career as it does to good players that signs for the club

Having as an attacking trio, Pellegrini, Lukaku and Dybala. On the bench Azmoun, El Shaarawy etc, playing in Serie A and claiming, that Roma is not build to get to the top 4. This is Jose Mourinho!
How many matches did Pellegrini, Lukaku and Dybala played together this seasons? Most of the time they were on the bench due to injury (Pellegrini, Dybala).
The real world is not working like your FIFA online game, the good squad needs rotation, replacement for injury. Roma was no where near top 4 competition.
@@duydatyds well, since I don't know you, we can "meet" here at the end of the season and you will see that Roma with DDR will finish top 4, thing that Mou never did in his previous two seasons. Ah and I never played Play Station in my life...
@@duydatydsAren't Roma just three points off top four?
Roma finished 6th this season. I watched every Roma game when he was the manager there and his style of play changes with different opponents. He's not boring or always parking the bus, but it's super pragmatic. Every player in Roma wanted to play for him when he took over, but the reality of the situation then was that not everyone there had the quality to make the club go to CL. Roma literally did not have enough players so much so Jose had to dip into the youth club to bolster his bench. The management grew tired of his whining, and Serie A officials hate him too. Roma was also in financial difficulty with FFP restrictions. You cannot compete at top level when the bench is comprised of youth players and your first team have to play every single game. Plus Romas one and only quality striker was injured the whole of the 2nd season. I love Roma but Jose's stint at Roma was unfair to him. Wish him the best of luck.
Jose is a great! I'd take him back to Untied in a heartbeat!! Legend! Winner!
Once he changed to the happy one, things started going downhill.
Why is everyone on their knees for mourinho. Hes obviously one of the greatest managers of all time and his chelsea, real madrid, porto, and inter teams are historic. But he started off strongly at united but he deserved the sack and outed pogba for no reason. People seem to forget that pogba was united's best player and mourinho treated him unlike that. His football was stale and the same happened at tottenham, although he should have won a trophy before he was sacked. Roma, good cup performances, underwhelming league performances. He's not cut out for a 38 game league campaign at the highest level, but still an elite cup manager. I think the shift within mourinho that has made him fall off is instead of dying for his players in the press, he singles them out, and with the combination of boring football, he ended up in turkey
I love Pep as a coach but then there is Maurinho.
I think Dortmund suits him well because they have the best scouting unit and that way the fans support them will encourage him to be the greatest.He don't want tremendous money to buy players he just wanted high potential players with talents.He loves to build a castle which is already broken.
Jose will be back, managing a top team. This just doesn't feel like the end chapter.
My brother in christ. People said Ancelotti was FINISHED when he was at Napoli. Jose is WAY younger. He'll come back sooner than later.
❤love your videos.keep grinding
He'd make a good international manager now I think but league football may be too intense and demanding
When he goes to Newcastle it will be the biggest thing in the Premiership.
He’s winning trophies 🏆
Mourinho never came out on top in Spain. Winning just 2 major trophies in 3 seasons with that super was a failure in itself.
He said it before, everyone need to play their role and be in the game. He cant coach a player who dont want to play, who cant admit, who wont follow instructions. he also cant do his job when owner over-ruled his decision. Teams that lack experiences he bring in 1 or 2 experiences player, lack ambition he gave them a small success but big long term goals, he will be harsh to those that lacks discipline, but all that in order to win matches, and winning is the fuel for a player confidence. At the end of the day 90mins on the pitch are defined by the players.
The archetypal Marmite manager. You either love or hate him, with seemingly no in between options. In my opinion he became a bit of a one-trick pony, relying on tactics and a man-management approach which were revealed to be ineffective during that second Chelsea spell. I thought the sniping and moaning, the seeming lack of humility, the refusal to adapt, the constant grudges… it all became tiresome. Great legacy, and a very successful manager at the top level, but at what cost to his sense of self? In recent months/years he has looked a shadow of the man he was.
I always thought the "special one" statement wasn't arrogant at all. He didn't say "I am the special one", he said "I am a special one", which is perfectly reasonable seeing as he'd just won the CL with Porto
He failed to evolve and teams started to learn how to unpark his buses. He's the guy you run to when you're desperate & discard after winning, if not he'll bring everything crashing down. Still a great manager
Jose hasn’t really failed to succeed at any club he has coached let’s be honest. He’s him (and this is coming from Pep’s fan)
The downfall started when his assistant coach left him back in 2018. Without him he's not been the same
I agree
what this man did for Internazionale and especially FC Porto will be on football history books until doomsday comes.
It's simple. He's lost ability. It happens to every player, manager and sportsman. They can't go on forever. It predominantly comes down to 2 things imo:
1. Mourinho has lost coaching ability. He's lost the ability to coach defence to the elite level he used to be able to. His Chelsea 05 side only conceded 15 goals in the entire league season. Now his teams over the last decade have regularly conceded 3 and 4 goals in matches which was unthinkable when he was in his prime.
2. He has lost his man management skills. His time at Madrid turned him into a bitter old man. Pre Madrid he was the master of man management. He'd support, motivate and protect players at all costs, ensuring their love and loyalty. Now he seems to hate players, distrusting them and actively throwing them under the bus publically. When he leaves clubs these days few players are sad to see him go.
Good documentary
Thanks Ayo!
As a Roma fan, no one could ever win us that trophy, besides the special one!
I think Mourinho's "downfall" (if you want to call it that) began once he started to criticize players in public. His attitude always worked well as a protective shield for his players. But once that changed, his success rate went down. I think he can still do well if given enough time.
They said it was over when he left Chelsea. They said it was over when he left United. They said it was over when he left Roma. Still won silverware at all those clubs. You don't have to like him, but to disrespect him is unnecessary
Regretfully no mention of Mourinho coaching SL Benfica and União de Leiria. Incomplete analysis of Mourinho's work.
Why so menstrual
he's still a top manager just that his man-management is kinda toxic and doesn't work on the new gen of players.
I still hate how he got probably the least amount of support from the Man Utd board among all the managers here since SAF. It could've been so much more.
Those United players that underperformed, did José a dirty. This doc abt Mourinho has me respecting him again. I sort of know how he feels. Stamp your authority on who you manage. Those superstar players at United grew a bit of an ego. They should have just bowed down and followed instructions(and accept the abuse). People are very difficult to manage. you need THEM to show how good you are. But if they dont want to, u screwed. A Manager needs utmost respect to do his job. His "Special One" label was NOT as arrogant as I thought before. It was said very casually, and the press went for it. He proved them wrong. He is still the special one. Keep fighting José!!!
Do Sir Bobby Robson next please, really enjoying watching these👏
"Jose Mourinho stands out as one of football's most iconic managers, celebrated for his tactical brilliance and unparalleled success across Europe's top leagues.

Beyond his tactical prowess, Mourinho's charismatic personality and unwavering confidence have made him a captivating figure in the sport, commanding respect and admiration worldwide. His legacy extends far beyond trophies, shaping modern football with his innovative approaches and winning mentality. Jose Mourinho's impact on the game is undeniable, cementing his place among the all-time greats of football management."
forever one of us
Great video, imo top three managers of the modern generation (i.e. 2000 and after) but it's José not Hosé... the people in your excerpt clips including himself should have indicated otherwise.
top 3? No chance
I still believe he has one stint left in a big club. Followed by national coach, before retiring.
Joses downfall is better than most managers career tbf.
Doesnt matter.
Bring him to west ham!!! Moyes contract is up in a few weeks and we have the talent he can use to the max!!!
I am his biggest fan..Jose is the best football coach ever...what is written here is a load of tripe...
No downfall at all, he has lifted every club he has been at!
Spurs?
@@Randomaccount9470 He got them to a cup final and sacked him days before it! Silverware is silverware!
I think the word downfall is heavy of a word. Mourinho has always been a victim of circumstances at every club he's managed. It's normally a clash of egos because he tells the bosses the ugly truth they normally don't want to hear. Give him absolute control of a club and the best financing with players then the sky is the limit
Mourinho tried to replicate the great success he had with his first coaching gigs meaning Porto, Inter , Real and Chelsea which was not easy to achieve.
Now he’s trying to come back from far down , he’s trying to tell the world I am still the special one .
I thought he could’ve done something with Roma but we all know what happened .
Would like to see him at a club where he can have most of the say and has some time more than a 5 year period , maybe at a mid-bottom table team.
Every one falls at some point it's how you deal with it and I can safely say Mourinho does it with grace and his far from being done
Sad to say he is a bit out of date now... while he was still right about Pogba, he also suggested buying Maguire before he became too expensive
Mourinho was only surpassed by Sir Alex and if he chooses the pick a national squad and wins continental and world cup trophies, he would be the best ever.
He should get more respect. The man spent 9 years without losing a home match when he had competitive teams to manage.
And Guardiola is better than Sir Ferguson definitely
They also said its over for acceloti but............
Just know that mouriho had not been allowed free playing since his Chelsea Doctor downfall in 2015 as the fans have always turned the clubs against him, and mind it roma never took care of him in getting him valuable players not to mention quality players.
Yet, maybe its an honeymoon period or probably am right as we might see, it appeared mouriho, as confirmed by the uecL and back to back euro finals for roma, it seems mouriho got the best out of the roma players that the new coach ( de rossi) is now enjoying with about 7 wins out of 9 and only 1 loss.
The media and the former bad fans at man United and Tottenham couldn't let the roma players give their best respect for mouriho by playing all their hearts much as citizens players does for pep because they carried over a bad labelling for mouriho unto roma.
Yet, he wasn't assaulted at roma as he was in earlier 2 clubs.
Moreso, the people that were on mouriho at man United, Tottenham, and even the late Chelsea spell in 2015 could now see that mouriho wasn't the problem at those places as non is doing well currently except a moment of epL and ucl at Chelsea.
The terrible fans are off his back and i can only expect him on a new restart of life at a new bigger club - Liverpool, Chelsea, bayern, even psg and maybe Madrid should acce gat to leave.
Once mouriho could do his job without those terrible fans and media, you'll find out hes better than pep.
Mouriho has been compared with some numbers of one season coaches since his assault-times at man United and Tottenham, but now, where are all those one season wonders.
Tuchel, neggelsman, ten hag, poche, flink, etc.
There's only 2 coaches that have measured up to mouriho since his 2015 Chelsea downfall and thats pep and klopp.
Acceloti is a third but he was also said to be useless until appointed by Madrid.
Klopp may be another benitez but at least until he leaves Liverpool before we can confirm.
Aside those real 3 equals to jose performance since 2015, which othwr coach have been consistent as mouriho was >>>
1. 2015 epL trophy at Chelsea and carabo cup
2. 2017 europa and carabo at United
3. 2018 epL at man United to be confirmed in 2025 by man City ban.
4. 2021 carabo cup final at Tottenham unplayed 5 days to the cup.
5. 2022 uecl cup at roma
6. 2023 back to back euro final europa cup negatively lost to sevilla
Who else is consistent.
Once he have a decent job just as Acceloti, then you shall all see that his downfall was just a product of haters attack.
Chelsea fans will take him in a heartbeat
One of the best coaches in the game.
Karma finally caught up with him. A bad influence on football. He's not called the Darth Vader of football for nothing. I'll never forget how he sent out his team, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Carvalho, Kovacic to take down Messi,as well as others, and do whatever it takes to win. Well, most of the time Barcelona won. Had Real practiced more instead of committing brutal fouls, they might have won more games. Mourinho was overheard telling his players, before a match that young Messi came back from injury, to take down Messi. I read a whole book on the conflict between the negative football of Mourinho's Real and the positive football of Pep's Barcelona. It's no wonder Mourinho is in decline, maybe at the end of the line, and Pep is flying high. Karma is a bitch.
In Italy, fans of 17 teams were happy that Roma had signed Mourinho because, with him, they were considered almost a "soft" team. Despite having strong players, they managed to play very badly and it was quite easy for everyone to get points against them.
He won the Conference League because he played against unpresentable teams: Trabzonspor, Bodo/Glimt, CSKA Sofia, Zorya Luhansk, and Vitesse. He was extremely lucky against Leicester and in the final he faced a very normal Feyenoord.
The value of these teams was many times lower than that of Roma in economic terms. Even Leicester is worth more than 100 million euros less, despite playing in the Premier League. Moreover, he has made Italian football more hostile due to all his fantasies about the conspiracy against him and Roma. He has been one of the most ridiculous and toxic figures seen in Serie A in the last 30 years.
He is a winner no question about it but he wins with boring football. For me how you win is as important, because football is also enterteinment but this is very subjective of course. I just wouldn't like him on my team cause he would make us play like a small team. I remember one semifinal with Barça he played with 10 defensive players and Drogba. His number 10 that game was Ramires... hahahah NO thx! (he lost btw) And for people that says he's better than Guardiola because he coached teams like porto or roma that doesn't make any sense. The difference is that Pep doen't need to go that "low" because he was never fired in his carreer not even once, Mourinho was fired several times. If I have Senna or Hamilton as a driver you don't give him an Opel Corsa to drive, you give him a Ferrari or a Lambo.
It's Josever 😭
Sure hes still getting results winning stuff cant say its a total downfall but last ten years hes gone too nasty melo dramatic.
Sure was always controversial but was never angry twisted in early days.
Jose led Roma into the finals of the Europa league. They lost cause the referee was too blind to notice a handball. Guy did not deserve to get sacked.
Downfall? No. Now he is just "The Reserved One", for now
He is the greatest football manager I have ever seen
THE NEXT MANAGER OF NEWCASTLE UTD.............I GIVE U THE SPECIAL ONE
