In December 2018, Manchester United fans insisted that the removal of Jose Mourinho meant he had finished "at the top" in club football.
An arrogant style of play, a similar display of joy at news conferences, and a desire to reduce his own players seem to have run out of time in Manchester.
The differences with Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba and Anthony Marshall were barely private, while his relationship with Marcus Rashford was strained several times.
Still, Tottenham didn't mind - whether it was convincing Daniel Levy that Mourinho wasn't finished yet or if he just wanted to be an entertaining figure for his Amazon documentary. Who knows, but one wonders where the Portuguese can go if they don't want to get an international job now.
These are two expected top jobs in club management that have been very few at the end of the day - even if Mourinho insists that staying at number two with Manchester United is his greatest achievement.
Taking a look at his stats in the Premier League since his last win with Chelsea in 2015 is proof of a real shortfall.
Evolution failure
During Mourinho's first pilgrimage as boss, we don't forget, he was sometimes considered the best coach in the world. Even early in his second season at Stamford Bridge, he performed well, leading him to the 2014-15 Premier League Trophy.
But things came to an abrupt end in 2015, and it's hard to claim that since then it has been on something other than a downward spiral.
He was sacked by Chelsea after winning just four of 16 games at the start of the 2015-16 season, and although he presided over United's best season - Points Wise - since Ferguson's retirement, he has been in the Old Testament. Didn't leave much legacy. Trafford
Mourinho was then tasked with ending the Spurs' 11-year trophy drought. It's been 13 years since then, although with justice he can end that wait in the EFL Cup final on Sunday.
Despite this, he left Tottenham, winning only 46.6% of the charge in his league games.
He has a record success rate of 69.4% in the English Top Flight before 2015-16. After that it is only 48.5%.
but why?
There are numerous theories about Mourinho's demise, but the main one is that he has failed to keep up with modern football, and instead of using the attacking skills available to him to take the initiative, his opponents Focusing on ignoring risks.
Allegedly, this fear is apparently one of the reasons for the Spurs' growing frustration with Mourinho, and the data supports the notion that Mourinho is thinking less ahead than ever in his career, while his teams in 2014-15 She has averaged 1.6 goals per game since completion, 1.8 first.
While not a huge difference, the change has fueled the fact that Mourinho no longer appears to be a conscious pragmatic innovation that he once considered, with his teams simply insecure over the years. ۔
Once again, since 2015-16, Mourinho's teams have been satisfying at a rate of 1.1 per game, up from just 0.6 goals every 90 minutes.
Mourinho's teams were once tireless rivals on a solid foundation - which no longer seems to be the case.
Allows it to slip
Mourinho may have been expected to be released at least until the end of the season, but with the Champions League qualification likely to be higher, we shouldn't be surprised at what Levy has done now.
In terms of the rationale for its removal, there's probably nothing more to it - but if we look a little further in numbers, disturbing trends appear.
Granted, Spurs are fourth in the Premier League with 95 points at Mourinho's time at the club. However, it is 21 points lower than Manchester United. Liverpool are ahead at 117 and Manchester City at 130.
Mourinho's teams are considered hard to beat, having been the center of his unique sales for years, yet he has already lost 13 times in 2020-21 - his highest ever in this regard. Bad weather
Likewise, the 10 Premier League losses that Spurs have suffered are the worst of Mourinho's career.
The frequency of defeats has regularly raised questions about Mourinho's full-time Spurs mentality, with 27 points behind Southampton (30) and Brighton and Hove Albion (31) who have just won the Premier League.
But looking at this season, it looks even more serious as they have dropped 20 points, which is the worst overall in this division.
After losing 11 points from the goal scored after the 80th minute, the Spurs are doing well when it comes to ending the game. Not surprisingly, their collective mental strength is often called into question.
Although the fact that he has not amassed more points in the game than Tim Sherwood (1.91) may have attracted ridicule on social media, his later record is not the best of any Spurs boss. He presides over more than 10 Premier League games at the club.
More importantly, Mourinho's 1.64 points per game is a significant drop-off on Pocatino (1.89), and that's a key issue.
Because Levi is trying to take Tottenham to something new with the European Super League, in the same dark as they are going into the dark.
