No doubt, former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho still has a blueprint in the history of football in London, especially, in the heart of most Chelsea fans. Since, Mourinho left the blues, things have never be the same in Stamford Bridge.
Although, the sacked Thomas Tuchel was see as the second Messiah, who will restored Chelsea back to it’s glory, just like what Jose Mourinho did, which he did, but the reverse is the case as the new owner of Chelsea sacked the German tactician.
Chelsea fans were reminded of Jose Mourinho’s legacy after his latest trophy win with Roma. The new era with Todd Boehly’s consortium should aim for the brilliance of 2005. There was great nostalgia to be had on Wednesday night sitting back and watching Jose Mourinho win another cup final.
His Roma side, including the talismanic Tammy Abraham, achieved a historic feat for The Giallorossi, winning their first major European title in Tirana, beating Feyenoord 1-0 in a cagey and tense Europa Conference League final.
This had all the Mourinho final trademarks, a first-half lead, clever game management, dominant defensive performances and a clinical edge from limited chances. Even with Feynoord’s possession in the second half, Roma saw the game out astutely. The full-time whistle sparked Mourinho to visibly show the number five with his fingers, representing the number of European finals he’s won since 2004.
Even if the level of the club he coaches has lowered in recent years, his ability to consistently claim silverware is an undoubted hallmark of Mourinho’s great legacy. His detractors will bemoan his tactics, his confrontational demeanour and outdated methods, but his success with Roma proves his powers of inspiration still have an effect, most seen with the development of Abraham.
Why Chelsea star most quickly forget about Tuchel in order to improve his game
Some also have proclaimed down the years that Mourinho does not leave a positive legacy at clubs, citing his fallout and sacking at Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs.
But , when you flashback to Chelsea histories, most Chelsea fan will tell you the level of their performances, skillful techniques, and the original Chelsea team under Roman Abramovich, since not see yet.
A lot of Chelsea fans have been calling for Mourinho to come back to Chelsea alongside with key players at like Eden Hazard, in order to have Chelsea back to his glory stage.
