The profitable decline of Mourinho

2021-04-24T18:10:52.932Z


The Portuguese coach loses a new team but supports his family despite the infidelities spread while accumulating a fortune only in settlements of 80 million


Very few can alleviate the bad luck of a dismissal with a severance pay of 17 million euros.

It is what José Mourinho is going to take from Tottenham, the London club that has just dismissed him as coach.

The 58-year-old Portuguese coach seems to have burned all the ships in the English league, after having gone through the benches of Chelsea, Manchester United, and lastly, that of Spurs, which he leaves without having achieved any title.

It is the first time in 20 years that it happened to the technician known as

The Special One.

What has not changed in this last stage for Mourinho is his way of finishing it.

The club has terminated his contract and he has taken a succulent settlement, something that has been a constant in his career for a decade.

Today, he accumulates a fortune of almost 80 million euros just in liquidations.

Before arriving at Tottenham, Mourinho seemed to have hit rock bottom and was commenting on matches for England's pay television, at € 67,000 per game.

However, they again relied on him to train in the elite.

2011 was a good year for Mourinho: he managed to beat the all-powerful Barça of Pep Guardiola and won the Copa del Rey at a time of maximum sporting tension and in which the figure of the Portuguese reached maximum levels of controversy. After winning the League, the problems began. The majority with important players of the squad such as Casillas, Pepe or Cristiano Ronaldo, something that precipitated his departure from Madrid to the Premier League. He went to Chelsea, the team where he was consecrated in a first stage that cost its owner, the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, more than 26 million. At the end of the second, in 2015, Mourinho renounced the 55 million that corresponded to him for the years of the contract that he had signed and ended up receiving 17. His next club was Manchester United, from which he left in 2018 after paying 22 million euros. euros.Then

The Special One

had one of its hardest moments. He ended up confronting his team's star, Paul Pogba, as the tabloids aired alleged infidelities to his wife Tami with a wealthy London professional, Prue Carter Robinson.

He was rescued from that personal and professional hole by Tottenham president Daniel Levy a year and a half ago. The team got off to a good start but the project has been diluted during the pandemic. Criticisms once again point to a bad relationship between the coach and the players, including Gareth Bale. He defends himself with the argument: "I am the same as always, those who are different are the players." The footballers do not believe in their method or in their way of understanding the competition. In addition, while with that philosophy before he won titles, now Mourinho has left empty for the first time in 20 years. Eight years in England have failed to relaunch the career of what was considered one of the best coaches in the world when he was hired by Real Madrid.

On the other hand, personally, Mourinho seems to have banished the news of divorce from his wife Matilde Faria, with whom he has been married for 32 years. Not so much those who claim that his friendship with Prue Carter continues. Mourinho's double life jumped in 2019. Then the British tabloids said that it would have started while he was coaching Real Madrid. Since then, escapades and encounters have occurred, especially in London since in 2013 the coach left the white team and returned to the British capital to train Chelsea again. Prue Carter is a fan of that club and owns a house valued at more than 1.3 million euros in the north of the city. She studied at the prestigious Gray Coat Hospital girls' school in Westminster and works at IBM, although she has now taken a leave of absence.The English press says that after being asked about her special friendship with the Portuguese, Prue nervously replied: "I don't know what you're talking about." A large number of photos prove the connection between the two during the last eight years. From one in Madrid having a drink in 2010 to another walking together barefoot on the beach.

But the fact is that the Portuguese continues to share moments with his wife and children, such as his vacations. They met in Portugal when he was 17 and she was 15. “The secret of everything is in love. If you are successful at your job, it is in large part because you are in love with what you do. And if you have a perfect family it is because you love each other. Love is the basis of everything ”, said the coach on one occasion. They have two children, José Jr., the youngest, 21, who was born in Barcelona when Mourinho was Louis Van Gaal's assistant, and his first-born, Matilde, 24, who is now a businesswoman and an

influencer.

On Instagram. She studied Fine Arts in London and at the end of last year launched her own brand of sustainable jewelry made in Portugal. The technician tattooed the names of the three on his arm in 2013. Together with them,

The Special One

will set sail for a new country in search of lost successes in British lands.
