Where is it? The Real Madrid years, right? Shitpost your way to greatness! But that was fine, in those early years. All he had to do was tap the reset button on his three-year doomsday stopwatch. And it worked.
It always worked. A dozen trophies in eight years! Then Real Madrid happened. And after that … well, the years went by at the same rate, the trophies not so much.
Two and a half seasons back at Chelsea brought another Premier League title and one League Cup. Not quite two seasons at Tottenham brought arguably the highest honor of all—me triple-captaining Harry Kane in Fantasy Premier League this week—and the one Carabao Cup final, but no actual first-place finishes in a footballing competition. To be clear, these are still phenomenal returns! Mourinho remains a world-class manager.
Pre-Madrid: multiple trophies per year, with the balance tilted toward the top-shelf stuff like Champions League titles and league championships. Winning the Europa League is still really good. Increasingly, his compulsive sniping seems to be throwing Mourinho himself, not his players or opponents, off-balance. Increasingly, he seems to be committing the cardinal error for any troll: He lets his targets get under his skin.
The time in Madrid is the line separating the early, all-conquering, winking-prankster version of Mourinho from the later, only occasionally conquering, self-sabotaging version that followed.
Frankenstein and the mob have agreed that it would be in the best interest of both parties for Frankenstein to step away from his role at the castle.

Glenn Hoddle says pressure is mounting on Daniel Levy and insists it is 'now or never' for the Tottenham owner after hiring his 11th football manager.

The Roma boss picked up two yellow cards in each half, with the second seeing him sent to the stands while getting a standing ovation from the home crowd.
The one thing missing in his Roma record collection so far appears to be the 'big win'. That Mourinho masterclass where he pulls three points against a league rival out of the bag. The vintage Jose display. Mourinho was livid after the defeat in the Europa Conference League on Thursday and blamed the lack of quality in his squad after he made changes for the game in Norway. Manchester United have been in this situation before - many times, in fact.
Their current torrid run of form looks set to force the board into making another dramatic change in the dugout. Yes, it's happened again. It feels like just a matter of weeks since Jose Mourinho took charge at Roma, and already he has done a very respectable job in potentially alienating half of his players there.
Harry Winks has stressed his desire to play more regularly after seeing his chances limited at Tottenham, but says the January transfer window is not in his thoughts.

The unfancied and relatively unheard of outfit ran riot against the Serie A giants with a four goal blitz in the second half to make it one of the most memorable nights in the club's history. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can only hope Manchester United put up as good a defensive performance against Atalanta on Wednesday as he himself did on the eve of this Group F tie at Old Trafford.

The objective was to turn Mauricio Pochettino's too-nice nearly-men into battle-ready winners.
