Midway through his third season, with Manchester United, the board have taken the decision to axe Jose Mourinho.
The ‘Special One’ has been axed after Manchester United’s worst ever start to a Premier League season, but has the board made the right decision?
Since arriving at Old Trafford, in his first season with the club he stuck some silverware in the trophy cabinet, winning the League Cup and the Europa League.
In his second season, he guided the club to the FA Cup Final only losing, courtesy of an Eden Hazard penalty, to his former club, Chelsea.
In both of the two seasons he completed, he ensured Old Trafford would stage Champions League football.
When it comes to his win percentage, when it comes to games, his record – 58.33% – can only be bettered, in recent times, by that of Sir Alex Ferguson – 59.67%
But, all that means nothing when the demand for success is all consuming at a top club.
Sitting sixth in the Premier League table, 19 points adrift of the leaders Liverpool and with it looking like the only way Old Trafford is going to stage Champions League football next season is to win the competition this season, the board decided now was the time for a change.
But, is it a decision you concur with?
Please take time out to vote in our latest poll which asks a question relating to that very question.
