Manchester United v Sevilla FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
When Jose Mourinho won the UEFA Cup with Porto in the 2002/03 season, he generated a lot of attention. When he won the UEFA Champions League with the club in the following season, the whole world sat up and took notice. It was a start of a fascinating career, where he went on to become one of the best managers of the world. There was a charm, a sparkle about him that ensured that everything he touched turned to gold. Sadly, the spark has diminished in recent times.

The Portuguese is still one of the most decorated coaches in the game of football, but Mourinho’s decline in recent times has been rapid and full of agony. His “third season syndrome” is now a well-known risk associated with his appointment. And the way that most of his recent associations have ended doesn’t portray a very good picture of him.
Mourinho’s end at Manchester United and Chelsea have been bitter and he has come across during both tenures as a frustrated man who has lost his way. There have almost always been rumours of fall outs with players and club management. Venturing into management once again means renewed chances of Deja vu and it might not suit either club or manager.
As such, Mourinho might be better advised not to risk a return to management. A full-time job as a Football Pundit would be a far better option.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
