Is is not supposed to be a guide to failing Managers like Mourinho. It is not even a piece of advice; it’s merely some rant by me, a Barcelona fan, who derives pleasure from seeing Chelsea and Mourinho play badly. For the Chelsea fans who have the privilege (or misfortune) of reading reading this piece; this is my opinion, not Jobberman’s.

With that said, let’s get down to it, shall we?



Career Lesson One

Story:
Chelsea FC have only won ONE Champions league trophy and I remember vividly that after that final, the only set of football fans who ‘had the right’ to speak at viewing centres were Chelsea fans. The rest of us dared not, even though at the time fans of FC Barcelona, Manchester United, FC Bayern, R.Madrid, Juventus and a few others had won (or celebrated winning) that same trophy multiple times. But Chelsea got it once and all hell was let loose; they just wouldn’t let us rest anymore.

Again, Mourinho is famous for repeatedly insisting that Arsene Wenger is a ‘specialist in failure’. The guy sees every pre and post match press conference as an opportunity to rant, complain and insult the person of Arsene; that’s more like his favorite pastime. Well, I bring good news; the dude called Mourinho now wins just one match in every month. Now, who’s the specialist in failure? I can’t laugh abeg.

Lesson:
Enjoy your success, but don’t rub it in the faces of other people.



Career Lesson Two

Story:
Chelsea sacked the only coach to have ever gotten them the Champions league trophy (what Mourinho would never be able to do for them) just a season after. The guy was dismissed like he never did anything good for them — the same idiotic way some bosses dismiss their secretaries/typists after a small typo.

Fast-forward to 2015, Mourinho in his characteristic autocratic manner ‘disciplined and dismissed’ the pretty, affable and reliable team physio, Eva Carneiro over some flimsy and almost irrelevant on-field situation. By the way, the Physio was clearly doing her job by attending to the injured Chelsea player– I think it was Hazard…or err Fabregas; can’t really remember, I hardly watch Chelsea matches — they bore me.

Need I remind everyone that that was the beginning of the slump for Chelsea and Mourinho. Apparently, the lady wasn’t just a Physio, she was very integral to the team, she had some influence and even though her impact might not have been very visible on the surface, they only had to let her go to realize their folly. There are people like that in every team. I like to believe that that event affected the team morale and see where they are on the table today — too low for me to even see.

Lesson:
Don’t Sack Your Eva Carneiro.



Career Lesson Three

Story:
Mourinho has a terrible attitude: he blames everyone but himself when things go awry. Many examples come to mind, but one is fresh. When Chelsea lost to Southampton earlier this season in the premiership, Mourinho cleverly brought in Matic, a defensive midfielder, when he needed to score. Now Mourinho perhaps had seen that that match was a lost cause and wanted to take the media attention away from him. Guess what the ‘special one’ did: baba brought in Matic, waited for Chelsea to concede an inevitable goal and almost immediately removed Matic again.

Now the uninitiated in the mind-games of Mourinho would not easily understand that move, but I will enlighten you. By removing Matic after Chelsea conceded that goal, Mourinho cleverly diverted media attention away from himself, and summarily made the Matic the scape-goat by simply making it appear like Matic was responsible for that goal and he had to be removed. In the end, most people blamed Matic, not Mourinho for the loss.

Lesson:
Prepare for downtime. Things will not always go right and when they eventually go wrong, don’t
push the blame to others, take responsibility and man up.



Career Lesson Four

Story:
Mourinho has a consciousness of self that is unrivaled. The man exhibits the highest form of self-love (or selfishness). When he first came to Chelsea after winning the Champions league with Porto, the guy ceremoniously announced to the English media that he was ‘the special one‘. He had a brilliant spell thereafter. Correct me if I’m wrong, I think he later announced himself as ‘the only one‘ (can’t remember if that was in England, Italy, or Spain).

Frankly, Mourinho is a great coach and winner. But the guy doesn’t just praise his teams as much as one would expect especially as his success is largely tied to the efforts of his players. Mourinho however takes more of the accolades for himself. Mourinho competes with his star players for glory and attention.

Lesson:
It’s okay to give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done, but it’s better when you do
more of same to your team. You might be special, but you equally need a great team to succeed.

Pheww…that’s all folks!

Guess u re chelsea fan, wat d guy wrote is a bitter truth bout mourinho management. That u re successful doesnt mean u cant make mistake and a less successful person cant correct u.

nonsense write up, when barca went trophy less two seasons ago, beaten all round by bayern, you did not write your brainless article. for your information i'm a barca fan but this is the same coach that broke barcas dominance in laliga and laid a template for countering tiKi taka. Just say u hate mourinho for his achievements. He is the best coach in the past 15years of football so when he talks on management professors in business schools listens

You can easily know a Chelsea fan by whatever he says.
Calm down, man. A lot has been said by the media., so if the Op looked at it from another angle, it's okay.

Frankly, what i saw in the article was more of: How to succeed against the odds[b][/b],

A fine lesson for folks who come from a not-so privileged background and seek ways to make it to the top

Charisma, confidence, self-belief, ability to totally annihilate your competitor, taking the negative focus away from your employees and taking the heat(thats what mourinho mind games is all about by the way, the OP is just wallowing in joy as his nemesis is currently having a hard time, Mourinho's players are almost never picked on individually cos he always finds a way to divert the attention to himself, even till now), doggedness, these are what i see from your write up and IMO its an important xter for anyone who desires success

The so-called lessons you want us to learn has brought the man success for about 15yrs now, and we're seeing 3 months of a slump and you interpret it to be a bad formula? i bow for you o

I'll make the man my role model instead, it feels good to have a nobody living millions of miles away from you masturbate over you and create lengthy posts to spite you over a small hiccup in your success story, so sweet, meanwhile, i won't even ever know that that"nobody" exists.

I see the pain in you guy, take it easy . That's what football fan is all about
Today can never be the same with tomorrow

Una still they WAIL ontop chelsea matter abi. HBP dey greet you.

I feel no pain here bro, he was not attacking Chelsea, Instead he was attacking the person of mourinho.

How can a nobody whom no one in his lineage has achieved even a quarter of the success and fame which Mr. Mourinho has, now become a mentor and i-too-know and also feels he knows how to teach mourinho to succeed.

He knows the right path, let him make me eat my words, let him quote me now and go on ahead to apply his principles and come back and take a dig at me years later when he has made it, ill type an unreserved apology and even publish it in the national dailies.

A low life struggler teaching a made man how to make it, smh, i only did my own interpretations of his epistle, let those looking for which model to adopt make their choice

The first paragraph has more to do with fans than JM. Those are fanatical cum human behaviors of fans in such sports though I must admit some go overboard. E.g the guy that rammed over some fans just because they were celebrating UCL victory.

As for JM vis-à-vis Wenger, you should remember that it's part of the game especially in England. Before JM, it was SAF vs AW. In fact, it was obvious when JM was at Real Madrid that the press + JM missed the jabs coaches threw in England. Also, JM mentioned his index for measuring failure; the number 4 spot trophy. Not to defend the garrulousness of JM but sometimes, these jabs are interesting to watch; remember when AW almost lost his cool when Arsenal met Chelsea.

The way your points 'connect' are confusing; from sacked coaches to background crew. Anyway, if I was unhappy about Di Matteo's sack, then Ancelotti's was worse. Nevertheless, you need to remember the way JM left the first time. It was clear writing on the wall that he would come back. The owner had an affinity for him, hence he brought him back to stabilize the team and implement a long-term strategy rather than changing coaches like diapers.

For Eva, JM needs to give a public apology. Psychology has a way of playing its way and it may not be unconnected with the behavior/attitude of the players on pitch. His outburst was childish and totally unnecessary; she was acting as a medic would, not a technician. JM is not a medic and should not expect her to think like a tactician. Moreover, as a woman, she is 'emotionally expected' to react the way she did. How do we know when not to have another Fabrice Muamba incident Better to play safe than sorry.

---

The last two points are fair. For me, let your works be louder than your voice. JM is an interesting character whether you like him or not. Sometimes, he just amazes me with his choice of words. I can vividly remember when he said after Chelsea lost a game that he fielded 11 wrong players. Methinks, he needs to talk less for now.

It's hard to say you're number one and divert attention from yourself without proving your status

Jose Mourinho is a super coach, trainer, motivator and tactician BUT never even half as good a manager as the average manager in any football club.

A coach and a manager are world apart.

End time

People now use Mourinho and Chelsea as case study.. ..and career lessons.. ..SMH for Chelsea
