"I have never seen fans as amazing as the Roma supporters. Jose 'Harry Potter' Mourinho, their coach, sets high standards," as Mourinho stated last week before being sacked by A.S. Roma. What sets Mourinho apart from other supposedly world-class managers is his ability to succeed with a meagre budget and mediocre players, boost the club's expectations, and then get fired when they think they have a world-class squad. Be it Manchester United, Tottenham or Roma, the same has happened again and again. To be honest most of the managers won't even take a chance on offers with mediocre clubs if they don't have sufficient funds.
Don Carlo Anceloti, a world-class coach, went from being an incompetent and inept coach at Everton to becoming a successful coach at Real Madrid with a roster full of elite players and unwavering board support. How many coaches today will be able to do what Mourinho achieved with a meager budget and mediocre players he persuaded to sign free transfers to Roma? Recall that he led Roma to the Europa League final and presented them with their first European championship. Jose Harry Potter Mourinho. The moniker suits him well.
