I will always maintain that not sacking Mourinho after Zagreb was a bigger mistake than sacking him before the final.This gets said a lot in here, like there’s no way Levy could sack him in the short term because he won the league cup. But at best it might have bought him a few more months, and we still might have got rid at the end of the season if things were bad enough.
Levy sacked Poch a few months after the Champions League final. He also sacked Ramos about seven months after winning the league cup. If things got bad enough (which clearly they were with Mourinho) Levy wouldn’t have hesitated to sack him regardless of him winning the league cup.
It was clear that day that it was over.
