It’s never his fault

Whether arguing with referees, insulting other manager, or throwing his players under the bus, Mourinho’s antics have become tiring. When things go well he’s there to take the accolades. When times are tough, it’s always someone else’s fault.

His behavior during United’s recent 0-0  draw with Burnley led to a one match ban and a £8,000 fine. He was also charged £50,000 by the league for his comments about referee Anthony Taylor prior to a match at Anfield.

Mourinho is a hypocrite and a sore loser. He has often celebrated success on the touchline. When it’s the other way around he labels it as disrespectful. He complained recently about Antonio Conte encouraging fans at Stamford Bridge to cheer for the home side during Chelsea’s 4-0 victory over United.

Last season Mourinho publicly shamed Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro for actually doing her job. Carneiro entered the pitch to attend to Eden Hazard after the player went down injured in stoppage time. The game ended in a 2-2 draw and the manager criticized Carneiro for her decision to treat Hazard.
