‘Never consider yourself as a top manager’ – Former Chelsea player ‘hits’ at Jose Mourinho after Europa Conference League victory
The special one Jose Mourinho has break the record of winning all European trophies in his career.
However, last night Jose added another European trophy: Europa Conference League as he becomes the first manager to win the trophy
Meanwhile, Despite winning the Europa Conference League trophy with Roma, Chelsea legend, Jason Cundy has insisted that he doesn’t rate Jose Mourinho as a top manager.
Cundy said on The Sports Bar: “He’s not elite, it’s not an elite trophy… it’s the Papa John’s Trophy of Europe.”
Cundy then claimed Mourinho can’t manage any top side in England any longer.
“He won’t go to United again, he won’t go to Chelsea again, Liverpool won’t have him, Manchester City won’t have him, Spurs won’t have him back and I’m not sure right now Arsenal would be a wise move.
“The one that kind of does make me think a little bit, it’s not impossible for him to end up there, is Newcastle.
“I’m not sacking Eddie Howe, I’m saying if Newcastle are looking, it may or may not happen, but there comes a point where they feel they need that next step.”
He then went on to warn Newcastle of appointing Mourinho in future, claiming that Mourinho may win them a trophy but leave the club worse off.
“But here’s what would happen. He’d come in, happy and smiling, get you to a final, probably win you a trophy – unless it’s Spurs!” Cundy added.
“Then things will start to turn dark. Everyone at the club will start squabbling, he leaves and there’s a huge cloud over the club.
“He’ll leave the club in a worse place than he actually found it but you’ll probably have a trophy to show for it.
“So it depends where Newcastle want to be, if there comes a point where they get to a position where they need that next step.
“If you told a Newcastle fan now in two-three years time that’s going to be them, there’s not many that would turn that down.
“He might be able to take Newcastle to that level, to get them into the Europa League. He’s capable of doing that still.”
