Mourinho remained dissatisfied with how Tottenham Hotspur handled his dismissal after only 17 months at the helm of the Premier League club. Mourinho, a natural-born winner, has claimed at least one trophy at every club he has led, including AS Roma, where he won the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League in 2021 during his third season.
He has achieved significant success by winning league titles in all the countries he has worked in, including the English Premier League, La Liga, Italian Serie A, and his home country’s Portuguese league. Among his notable achievements are winning the UEFA Champions League with Porto and securing Chelsea’s first Premier League title in 50 years in his debut season in English football.
In a statement on the Obi One Podcast, Mourinho criticized Tottenham, stating, “This was a club with an empty trophy cabinet, and then they dismiss me two days before a final, seriously…”
José Mourinho: “Tottenham was a club that has an empty trophy room and then sacks me two days before a final. I mean, come on…”, told @obionepodcast.
Despite a glittering career with 26 trophies, the former Real Madrid coach once stated that finishing second with Manchester United in the English Premier League was his greatest achievement. He emphasized that behind-the-scenes issues made the job challenging. Manchester United endured a six-year trophy drought after his departure before winning the Carabao Cup last season under the management of Erik ten Hag.
