“I Would Probably Be in Jail” – Jose Mourinho Would Be in Trouble if He Managed Current Players the Same Way He Did at Chelsea, Says John Obi Mikel

Jose Mourinho is currently enjoying his time managing Italian giants AS Roma. Fans will always remember him for his stellar stints with European giants, especially with the Premier League giants Chelsea. Several former Blues also have good memories of the Portuguese coach. However, John Obi-Mikel pointed out that his former manager would serve jail time if he started managing like the old times.

The Blues fans in the current situation would love to see him back. It is because the current crop of players is missing the same winning ambition, that Mourinho brought during his time.

Chelsea legend makes an astonishing claim about Jose Mourinho

Everyone loves to remember their good old days, and soccer legends are no different. In the Obi One podcast, ex-Chelsea stars Joe Cole and John Obi-Mikel talked about how much they loved playing under Jose Mourinho. Cole said, “We were so strong, and you did go on the pitch. You knew you had to affect the game like it was great management. I don’t think the new generation would have liked it because everyone likes being mollycoddled”. Obi-Mikel added to the comments of his former teammate,” I don’t know if you listened to my podcast with Jose; he told me that if I behaved with the new generation as I did with you, I would probably be in jail.”

The comments from Joe Cole about how determined Mourinho was to get the best out of his Chelsea players during his time. The former Blues boss also won a total of seven trophies in his 2 stints that go with the praises. He is one of the major reasons the team started winning titles after the takeover of Roman Abhromovic. As far as the current situation with Jose Mourinho is concerned, the Portuguese coach continues to have the same reputation.

The Special One and his challenging stint in Roma

After his chapter with Tottenham Hotspur, he took a rather difficult job of managing AS Roma. This is because the Italian giants certainly do not have a huge spending like the Premier League clubs. Despite this, he has done well with the limited resources, even managing to win the Europa Conference League.

His impact in the transfer window also remains significant. Jose Mourinho is the reason the club has managed to attract signings like Romelu Lukaku, Paulo Dybala, and Tammy Abraham over the years. In an interview, last year, Tammy Abraham said that he and his teammates needed such a coach like him for several years.
