The Portuguese media continues giving big reaction to José Mourinho’s sacking at Tottenham Hotspur. Most outlets highlight the manager’s departure from the Premier League side, giving it bigger attention than news about the European Super League.
TVI had reporter Henrique Marques speaking live from the coach’s home city Setúbal. The journalist brought the latest information on his dismissal and also spoke to some locals about the Special One’s future.
According to sources close to the manager, the reason for the sacking has ‘nothing do do’ with information that Mourinho refused to take charge in training following Tottenham’s announcement about the Super League.
Henrique Marques says the claims are ‘absolutely false’, as Mourinho would never refuse to work with the team. He restates that the coach’s departure from Tottenham happened purely because of the results.
Speaking to local fans, the reporter heard the urge for José Mourinho to return to Portugal. The manager last worked in the country in 2004, when he left Porto for Chelsea after winning the Champions League with the Dragons.
