'Mourinho isn't outdated - he just needs the right club' - Former CEO thinks Man Utd sack was a mistake

Jose Mourinho still has a future as a manager at the top level of the game, according to former Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon.

The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter boss is still without a job in management since being sacked at Old Trafford last season, and many fans have suggested that his tactical approach and man-management methods are too old-fashioned for the modern game.

Kenyon was disheartened to see Mourinho sacked at United, and thinks another big club will profit from their mistake.

“If you put me in charge of a great club and you needed to appoint a manager, my first thought would be Jose Mourinho,” Kenyon said at the World Football Summit.
