Mourinho is on the way to turning his time at Tottenham into a new failure. The Portuguese coach has not been able to redirect the trajectory of the English club after the dismissal of Pochettino. He came to the Spurs bench in praise of crowds. However, the poor results and his clashes with some of the team's figures have meant that criticism continues to rain on him. The latest to join Mourinho's group of detractors is former English international Chris Sutton. “The Special One of the past has died and has given way to a frustrated, troubled and irritating man who lives off the glories of the past,” said the former Aston Villa player in statements to BT Sport.
“The José Mourinho who won three Premier League titles and had a fascinating charisma is now a dark man and angry with the world. When he arrived in England in 2004, he was a funny, intelligent and charismatic man, who entered the Premier League like a hurricane. That man is long gone! “Adds Chris Sutton.
The former English international gives some examples to explain that Mourinho's methods have stopped working. What's more, he considers that the challenge of directing Tottenham has been great: “Work at Tottenham was never going to be easy, but José Mourinho is getting over it. For example, Luke Shaw (United left back) had great difficulties with Mourinho, but with Solskjaer he is fabulous. It's the same thing that happens to the Tottenham team, “said Sutton.
