4 positives and negatives of sacking Jose Mourinho

#3 Positive: Getting rid of his outdated tactics

Mourinho is sticking to a much more pragmatic approach of the counter-attack

Mourinho arguably is the greatest manager in world football with success in England, Italy, and Spain. But has he evolved with the changing patterns observed in football? Certainly not. While the whole world is going for a possession-based football, Mourinho is sticking to a much more pragmatic approach of the counter-attack.

Klopp's high pressing, Unai Emery's play from the back, and Guardiola's possession styles are much more eye-catching and result based approaches. Also, the treatment he has laid out for many youngsters like Rashford, Martial, and Lindelof are proof enough that he cannot develop homegrown players, neither can he trust young players.
