Mourinho’s Take on Tottenham Departure
José Mourinho, the renowned football manager, has spoken out about his abrupt departure from Tottenham Hotspur, highlighting the irony of being dismissed just days before a cup final. In a candid revelation on the @obionepodcast, Mourinho expressed his bemusement at the decision taken by the club, considering the lack of silverware in their trophy cabinet.
Mourinho told @obionepodcast: “Tottenham was a club that has an empty trophy room and then sacks me two days before a final. I mean, come on…”
The Portuguese tactician, known for his success in securing trophies at various clubs, was let go by Tottenham in April 2021, shortly before the team was due to play in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. His dismissal came as a surprise to many, given his track record and the proximity to a potential title win for Spurs, who have not lifted a major trophy since their League Cup victory in 2008.
