Jose Mourinho needed a win against Dynamo Kiev, and another Willian free kick delivered it. Now the "Sulky One" needs to go out and get himself a new assistant who can tell him a few home truths and curb his worst excesses.
Throughout his seemingly never-ending war with officialdom and stroppy TV interviews, you get the distinct impression that Mourinho has surrounded himself with sycophants. Rui Faria, Mourinho's right-hand man, seems more volatile than the manager while coach Jose Morais was seen screaming at Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp on Saturday. The suspicion is that the manager's backroom team is built in his own image.
