Once upon a time, Mourinho wanted an unknown striker and told the owner to sign him.
Abramovich asked: โWho is he?โ
Mourinho replied: โMr Abramovich, pay and donโt speak.โ
That player was Drogba.
The owner trusted the manager.
The rest is history.
Fast forward to today:
Maresca stepped away from Chelsea with conviction, after having constant disagreements with the hierarchy.
Amorim said it clearly: โI am a manager, not a coach.โ Soon after, he got sacked, not purely for results, but for challenging the hierarchy publicly.
This is exactly why Chelsea and Manchester United are doomed in the long run.
These clubs no longer want managers. They want head coaches who train the squad theyโre given, stay silent, and operate within strict limits, while sporting directors, and executives hold the real authority.
Football has changed at the top, and not for the better.
Chelsea and United will regret losing figures who demanded authority.
You donโt build sustainable success and dynasties by restricting the people responsible for results and handcuffing leadership.
@UTDTrey Stop crying you and other big twitter accounts we been crying over and over about managers while its not any fucking manager fault we have cancer in the team we have to remove 90% of it
