Only 50 days Jose Mourinho was unemployed. The coach who has not won a title for a decade has been transformed into the World Compensation Champion. The 62 -year -old coach has swollen 120 million euros, the last 15 as damages because Fenerbahce He showed the door, and now he is preparing for another luxurious one -season in Lisbon.
After doing the Turkish vice-champion to spend a lot of money for the player who eliminated in the League's play-off, he went to Benfica to play in the group he had missed! Twice in a row. Where, to see incident! It will be found with the sports director Mário Branco, Portuguese and he, who took it before, leaving Fenerbahce two and a half months ago.
O Europe and a lecture League, but “zero holders” in 10 years!
He was once nicknamed The Special One, but only the deceitful advertisement remained in Mourinho. The super -evaluated manager whose closest champion title dates back to ten years ago, the last of his three at Chelsea.

He would have taken the last cup in a European Competition for Manchester United (there is gold in the context of the generalized disaster led by the countryman Ruben Amorim) -the Europa League in 2017 -, after which he left the back door, and he also entered the skin of the Gialrossi typhus, bringing Conference League to Rome (the only continental trophy. Fairs), but the impression cannot be faded.
Jose Mourinho has cheated on football for a decade, they have bleached his temples (less than the fans of the teams who received and treated him), but he forgot to deliver performance, as the piles of money paid for his exaggerated contracts.
25 million euros scattered by Fenerbahce on Mourinho
The latest evidence is the deception of the Turks, who paid him king without being able to approach Galatasaray. Not only did he not win any trophy in Turkey, but he missed both attempts to take Fenebace in the Champions League group. And for all he chose with a prize of 25 million, including 10 the salary for the season and a bit in which he annoyed Fener's enemies and friends from his own camp!

Real Madrid, Chelsea (twice!), Tottenham, Manchester United, Fenerbahce and, the last in the reverse order of paid compensation, AS Roma fueled Jose Mourinho's accounts with 120 million. I no longer count the money required to bring players to the trained teams.
Only to Fenerbahce wasted over 100 million And, after he was voted that he did not qualify in the League group because he was not solved in time the desired transfer, Kerem Akturkoglu signed with the Turks 3 days after the Portuguese left! So, Jose opened the gates to the group, brought him 22.5 million in accounts, after which he settles on Da Luz. A quarter of a century after completing his first experience as the main.
It's the time of closing the 25 -year cycle for Mourinho!
Maybe it's a sign of destiny. For Mourinho to finish his vicious circle, in which he put the teams he led without (great) success since he said goodbye to London (I do not consider the work from Tottenham). You will say that, however, he won 26 trophies, including two Champions, with FC Porto and Inter, and the triple historian with Nerazzurri (15 years have passed since then).

Okay, no one can challenge the merits, but let us not see how much money has been chopped just for the demanded players. If I put Akturkoglu on the list, Mourinho would enter the select club of “billionaires”, along with Guardiola, Simeone, Tuchel, Conte, Arta, Allegri or Tuchel (random order).
Benfica is his rescue collar, because at Inter, where he was still self-propelled, his door (to Chivu's peace) was closed, for the reasons I exposed yesterday. We cannot know how much he will resist as a successor of Bruno Lage, removed after shame with Qarabag, and how far he will stretch his nerves cost. The president no longer risks in his hand, giving him only a contract for one year!
But I do not think it will deceive an important national (attention, Portugal!) To give them the position of coach, as he dreams of putting the career. The point is already put, only Mourinho is stubborn to place commas in a phrase in which the signs of question and wonder abound! The admiring exclamations are in the album with memories, where they go with big steps and Don Jose.
