Mourinho is out of class again! It’s the seventh time! Why can’t I last for three years?

Summary Mourinho's coaching journey: three years in the UK and three years in the West, and then go to Serie A for three years. In the past, Uncle Bird coached a team with this rule: improve the team lineup in the first year, achieve results in the second year, be in conflict with the team core in the third year, or have conflicts with the boss, this is the so-called Mu's three-year law. Now the magic bird's magic power is no longer reduced to playing in the European third-rate league like the Turkish Super League, and was fired before three years. It was really a tiger falling into a panic and bullied by a dog!

has been said before. Mourinho's biggest mistake is that he is too eager to coach and always wants others to see his achievements backfire. He learns to learn from Qi Zu and does not coach at all risks.

Of course. José Mourinho is one of the most unique, charming and polarized figures in the football world. It is not accidental that he was dismissed from get out of class seven times (or even more), but the inevitable result of his unique football philosophy, personal personality and modern football ecology colliding.

The reasons can be attributed to the following core levels:

1. The double-edged sword effect of the "Morning Movie" itself

Mourinho's success is based on an extremely high pressure, pursuing absolute practicality and result-oriented "short-term sprint" model. This model is powerful, but it also consumes extremely resources.

The ultimate consequentialism: His philosophy is that "victory is above everything", and the game scene and process are secondary. This can bring a championship to the team in the short term, but in the long run, this utilitarian way of playing will make fans, the media and even some management feel aesthetic fatigue and bored. Once the grade fluctuates and loses the most important fig leaf of "result", all criticism will come like a tide.

High pressure management, pursuit of absolute control: Mourinho needs himself to be the only core and authority in the locker room. He stimulates the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness by establishing a hostile mentality of "we vs the world". This "sad soldiers will win" strategy will have a great effect in the short term, but maintaining this high-pressure state for a long time will make the players extremely mentally exhausted. Once the grades decline, the previously suppressed conflicts will always break out.

"Mu Three Years" Curse: This is the concentrated reflection of the above two points. In the past two years, his passion, tactics and personal charm led the team to its peak. But in the third year, the players felt numb to his instructions, the relationship between the locker room was tense, the tactics were thoroughly understood by the opponent, and the performance declined, which eventually led to the breakdown of his relationship with the club and the players. This has almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

2. The deterioration of relationships with players

This is the most direct fuse for Mourinho every time he is dismissed.

Open criticism of players: He is used to public criticizing players through press conferences, using them as a management method, aiming to motivate players or divert external pressure on himself. In modern times, this can easily cause a huge disgust in the locker room. The open break with core players such as Casillas (Real Madrid), Pogba, and Martial (Manchester United) seriously shook his authority in the locker room.

is difficult to coexist with superstars: his tactical system requires all players (including superstars) to unconditionally implement tactical discipline and conduct a lot of defensive work. This has a fundamental conflict with the playing philosophy of some modern genius players who advocate free play (such as Pogba). Conflict is inevitable when he thinks the player has “betrayed” his tactics.

3. The evolution of the football environment

The football philosophy on which Mourinho relies is being challenged by modern football trends.

Changes in tactical trends: Guardiola's "ball control first" and high-pressing tactics have become mainstream, and fans and clubs pay more and more attention to the "content" of the game. Mourinho's defensive counterattack tactics are regarded as "outdated" and "negative" on some occasions, and even if he can win, he will inevitably be criticized.

Changes in the personality of modern players: Today's stars are younger, more personal, have greater voice and more social media influence. They no longer accept the absolute authority and public criticism of the coach as easily as before. Mourinho's "iron-fisted management" approach is facing increasing resistance among the new generation of players.

4. His own "personality" and expectations

"The Special One": This label he created for himself is both the source of his charm and his shackles. The club hired him in the hope that he would bring championships and success immediately. This extremely high expectation means he has little room for mistakes and time for a steady reconstruction. Once you cannot win the championship quickly, the pressure to get out of class will increase instantly.

The media darling is also a target of media: his relationship with the media is intertwined with love and hate. His remarks always create headlines, attract firepower for the team, but also put themselves in the center of the storm. It's charm when he's going well; when he's in trouble, all the media turns the gun, amplifies every failure of his life, and speeds up his dismissal.

Mourinho's frequent dismissal is the inevitable price of his personal success model. He is a "meteor" that burns himself and everything around him, shining brightly but difficult to last. He trades the ultimate method for the highest honor in the short term, which is destined to quickly consume the team's enthusiasm, patience and cohesion.

When he wins, he is a genius and a hero; when he cannot win, all his previous controversial qualities (utilitarian football, high-pressure management, out-of-stance speech) will become the reason for him to be attacked. His charm and his "failure" ultimately come from the same core - the confident, paranoid, and uncompromising Mourinho.
