José Mourinho: answers to the most important questions – SPIEGEL ONLINE

With José Mourinho is one of the most successful coaches of the football world has been sacked by his club Chelsea FC – although the official language regime “mutual agreement” claims. Thus, the commitment of the Portuguese is at his supposed heart club only a few months after his contract was extended to 2019, ended. How could this happen?

What are the reasons for Mourinho’s sacking?

The athletic burglary Chelsea this season, after the Blues were still become champion confidently in summer , is extreme. In today’s Europe’s top football top teams usually fall off no longer completely; too large are the financial disparities within the leagues and the corresponding differences in quality in the player cadres.

This was especially true for Mourinho’s teams. Since he took over FC Porto in 2002, were his team eight times champions in their leagues, three times runner-up and once third. But Chelsea is after the defeat at Leicester on Monday in 16th place in the Premier League, just one point ahead of the relegation zone. Already Chelsea lost eleven competitive matches this season. Throughout the preseason, there had been only four.

What is the failure to explain?

If we consider only the squad, as is Chelsea’s record in this Time completely incomprehensible. The line-up is not worse than the previous season. Serious injuries were mostly from, and the starting XI that suffered in Leicester the second defeat against newly promoted consecutive corresponded one to one of the successful team of the championship season. More serious, however, the tension between Mourinho and his players seem to have developed.

After the defeat in Leicester He gave His only professionals to blame for the poor results. They had “betrayed” him and should not feel like a “superstar”. He himself had the players prepared for Leicester’s strengths, but had not implemented his instructions. This indirect confession of a broken employment is likely to be a decisive factor that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich gave up his plan to finally show more patience with his sports directors than before.

That Mourinho Leicester criticized ball boys or regularly by a victim wrong decisions saw the referee quite in keeping with his earlier behavior. But at that time he had always known the players behind him when he drew the attention of the media attention and an “All-are-on-us” mentality evoked. Especially his battered relationship with captain John Terry, whom he had replaced at half-time in the top game at Manchester City on Matchday, Mourinho could have cost the loyalty of the team.

What’s next for Chelsea?

As the “Telegraph” reported, is to take over the Blues for the second time until the end of the season, a former Chelsea interim coach. Guus Hiddink won the 2009 FA Cup when he replaced in February for the sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari. Hiddink has until today the best points average of all Chelsea manager in the Premier League on.

As a possible long-term successor to Mourinho is Carlo Ancelotti traded. That he also has as Hiddink and the Portuguese, ever worked at Stamford Bridge (2009-2011), shows one hand how small the field of world-class coach is eligible for such a prestigious job in question. On the other hand, it also reveals a certain perplexity at the club. A personnel upheaval is long overdue. The era that was dominated by players such as Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba, is over. A clear idea of ​​the direction in which the club wants to develop, but difficult to see.

An interesting candidate could be Diego Simeone. His defensive style might can be developed with large parts of the current Chelsea squad further, and the over-indebted Atletico Madrid it is more likely with the league title in 2014 and the entry into the Champions League final have reached the maximum. Would also be conceivable Antonio Conte, now Italy coach, or Unai Emery from FC Sevilla.

What’s next for Mourinho?

in just extended contract fixed compensation of EUR 50 million is unlikely to get Mourinho. This is indicated by the language regime “by mutual consent” towards. German media, however, assume that the coach is likely to collect around ten million. And after that?

Many clubs shall not be eligible for a man with his vita and the corresponding salary. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, which is the price range, should be settled in the Mourinho next employer. Madrid is just about plausible in this context, because Rafael Benítez fears there for his job. Mourinho himself not just went there but in 2013 as a hero.

Bayern does not appear as the most likely target. At least, it is doubtful whether the image that adheres Mourinho in Germany, is considered by the authorities in Munich as appropriate. However, it could be a target for Mourinho, in the Bundesliga and to once again become masters after having previously managed already in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain. But even in France, he has never worked. PSG is also not completely hopeless since Laurent Blanc is not there undisputed lack of international success. See Mourinho rumors already reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo in Paris. The money from Qatar to make it happen.

Two years ago, Mourinho talked about that it was his dream to End of career with the Portuguese national team to win the World Cup and then to sit down with 65 to rest. Until then, however, is still some time: Currently Mourinho is only 52 years old
