Sunday Oliseh Defends Fenerbahce Boss Jose Mourinho Amid Criticisms

• Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh has come in defence of Jose Mourinho amid criticisms
• The Special One has always been a target of media criticism throughout his illustrious coaching career
• He took over the managerial reins at Turkish club Fenerbahce months after AS Roma sacked him

Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh has backed Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho amid the unending criticism the Portuguese is enduring in his managerial career.

Mourinho is one of football's greatest-ever managers and has won a trophy at every club he has managed except Tottenham Hotspur, which sacked him days before a final.

He shockingly took over at Turkish club Fenerbahce in June, five months after Italian club AS Roma sacked and replaced him with club legend Daniele De Rossi.

Oliseh defends Mourinho

Oliseh, responding to a viral post of a supposed Mourinho’s quote hitting back at English pundit Jamie Carragher, leapt in defence of the manager:

“Love him or loathe him, Jose Mourinho always makes his opinion clear!! Mr Carragher better be quiet; ask Frank de Boer, how criticising Mourinho seems to end his coaching career and earn him the "Worst coach in the world" tag!!”

Frank De Boer, in 2018, said it was a pity for a manager like Mourinho to handle the development of a promising English talent, Marcus Rashford and it sparked a classic from the former Chelsea boss.
