How Jose Mourinho Destroyed Madrid before leaving.

Everyone had been praising mouth-rinho for humiliating barca and Man-Utd back to back .But he did more damage than the good . Let us take a look at how he almost destroyed the whole team.

Mourinho failed to bring a 10th trophy in Europe’s premier club competition, losing out in three successive semi-finals, and he leaves a long line of controversies

The Portuguese has caused controversy almost from the outset. In his three years, he has publicly attacked players, fans, journalists, Madrid’s youth-team coach, the board, referees, rivals and almost everyone else imaginable. And this term, his decision to drop club captain Iker Casillas has led to deep divisions within the playing squad. There was no way back after that

Mourinho’s fantastic final record was blemished by defeat to Atletico at the Bernabeu, of all places, as the Portuguese became the first coach in 14 years to lose a match against the team’s cross-city rivals.

A punished Pepe was left out, while a sad Casillas watched on from the bench. Chaos ensued as Madrid lost their heads and even Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for kicking out at Gabi. And Mourinho was unable to find dignity in defeat as he bemoaned bad luck, claimed Atletico had been fortunate, refused to pick up his loser’s medal from the King of Spain and abused the referee before leaving under a cloud.

It was a cloud that could never be lifted and Florentino, himself jeered by a section of Madrid fans in the aftermath of the damaging defeat, knew he had to act.Thus he announced that mou is going to leave madrid under mutual-agreement.

The timing of the announcement was also shrouded in significance because Monday was Casillas’ 32nd birthday. And for the Madrid captain, Mourinho’s exit represents the best possible present.

For Florentino, a man who has made his millions in construction, it is time to build again. And although Mourinho’s sides traditionally struggle when he moves on (as seen at Porto, Chelsea and Inter), Madrid’s solid base means the club can have reason to believe in a successful season under their new coach (Carlo Ancelotti) next term.

Some players may leave this summer, but Mourinho’s move will allow old wounds to heal, while Casillas can be quickly restored to his rightful place in the Madrid goal. In defence, Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane can be the foundation for a strong side, while promising right-back Dani Carvajal is set to return to the club after a year in the Bundesliga to solve what has been a problem position under the Portuguese. In midfield, Luka Modric looks the part, while Cristiano Ronaldo will be the flagship of the next sporting project and funds are likely to be made available for a new star striker, too.

Jose fell-out with almost the whole team.and it was time for him to move on.But the good thing is He built one of the worlds most strongest team.

So the new coach Carlo Ancelotti inherits a top team with some of the world’s finest footballers and the chance to make them even better. Proper man-management should solve many of the current problems and with a more elaborate tactical plan to boot (and not just a counter-attacking system), the sky is the limit for this Madrid team. Mourinho had to go and now the club can move onwards and upwards, with much more dignity too. And if they do so, he is unlikely to be missed.
