Jose Mourinho statement after sacking: Former manager issues statement

Jose Mourinho statement after sacking: The former Manchester United manager issues a statement after leaving the club.

Manchester United parted ways with Jose Mourinho two days after the club suffered a dreadful 3-1 loss against Liverpool.

United announced the decision through their social media handles, and published an official statement on their website. Manchester United thanked Mourinho for his services, and wished him luck.

During his time at Manchester United, the club won three trophies, which include its first-ever Europa League title. United also won the Community Shield, and the EFL Cup.

However, it all went downhill in Mourinho’s third season at the club, as Manchester United are currently 6th in the league with only 26 points from 17 games.

Jose Mourinho has finally broken silence over his departure from the club.

Jose Mourinho statement after sacking:

Manchester United sacked Jose Mourinho, replacing him with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian joined the club on an interim basis until the end of the season.

Mourinho spoke for the first time since leaving Manchester United, and in a classy response, stated that he cherished his time at the club.

“I’ve been immensely proud to wear the badge of Manchester United since the 1st day I arrived and I believe all United supporters recognise this.

“Just as was the case with my previous clubs, I have worked with some wonderful people and I believe some will be my friends for life.”

Jose Mourinho refused to talk about his future, and asked the media to maintain privacy as he spends time outside football.

Jose Mourinho winning trophies with Smalling, Jones and two converted wingers Young and Valencia as defenders is one of the best footballing achievements of all time. You can try to debate it but I'm spot on.

“I know that you’re all aware of my professional principles,” Mourinho said. “Each time a chapter is closed I show my deepest respect and I don’t make any comments about my former colleagues.

“I hope the media will also respect my position and let me live my normal life until the moment I decide to return to football. Merry Christmas.”

Jose Mourinho left Manchester United after the Old Trafford side struggled througout the season, both on and off the pitch. As United failed to produce results in the games, the season was further marred with controversies over reports of unrest in the dressing room.

The public spat between Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho was apparent, and the duo suffered a massive fall-out in their relationship in the last 12 months.
