Y'all welcome to this weeks happy moan day contest. We've got a notable names this week as couple of teams and individuals were messed up in one way or the other. The likes of Armenia who suffered a 9-1 defeat at the hands of Italy during their European cup qualifiers. Mauricio Pochettino as well could not stand the test of time. He was sacked by Tottenham during the week and was replaced with immediate effect by Spurs management with Jose Mourinho. His sack came as a shock as well as the immediate replacement. Such incident makes me ponder as well as wonder whether Mourinho was behind the sack... Though the Londoners have been going through misery this season after their UEFA champions league milestone last season. They rest in the 14th position of the English premier league when the Portuguese coach took over.
Now I ask myself, did Jose Mourinho secretly engineer the axing of Mauricio Pochettino? well, this is a rhetorical question but feels like needing an answer. The Argentine was replaced less than 11 hours after been relieved of his duty. That was terribly a loud one man!!! Who does that. This might mean that spurs management were already into talks with the special one prior to the sacking. Mourinho who has stayed 11 months off duty declared that he his ready to the new tasks ahead. He believed they were months to think, analyse, prepare and analyse things. He believes to be newly improved and ready to make new mistakes rather than repeating old ones in his former managerial roles. He believes he can win the EPL next season. well, let's sit and watch.
There are around 70 journalists here for Mourinho's unveiling, with a lot of Spanish press making the trip. No matter what you say about him, he still demands attention because he's the special one. When asked about his "never to go to Spurs" comment years ago, he jokingly said that was before he was sacked by Chelsea. Woah!!!! Feels like its high time we watched what we say as it can implicate us if not now but in the future.
Notable names were congratulating Jose Mourinho on his newly appointment at Tottenham while most fan condemned the actions of the board in sacking Poch. He has endured certain difficulties with the club yet strived hard to make success. He was there when they were building their stadium. This resulted to low funds in signing players during transfer windows. He made them competitors and candidate for EPL top four. They reached the champions league finals first ever in their history. For some, Pochettino deserved more time to put things in place and for others, they've got no stand.
Funny enough, information gathered by jesters says that Mauricio was affected by "Ajax Cause". Most clubs that faced the Eredivsie club in the 2018/19 champions league have seen their coach sacked. Here's a screen shot of team, matchday, manager and date. However, reporters questioned mourinho if he thinks the champions league final that was lost affected the team. It was this same Ajax that they defeated in the semis to secure a spot in the final.
Nevertheless, the Argentine has been rumoured to be linked with top flight clubs like Bayern München, Arsenal and Manchester United in line.
