Dig at Solskjaer? Mourinho claims 'nice guy' managers become 'puppets'
The ex-Man Utd boss has hinted his successor's stay at Old Trafford won't last, insisting that finding the right "balance" is key in management
Jose Mourinho has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, claiming "nice guys" end up being controlled by the club's senior officials.
The Portuguese coach was axed by United in December, after overseeing the club's worst start to a top-flight season in 28 years.
Solskjaer was drafted in as his replacement on an interim basis, embarking on a run of 14 wins from his first 17 matches, ultimately earning a permanent position at the helm.
