Former Manchester United star David Beckham wants
to see Jose Mourinho managing in the Premier League
again sooner rather than later.
David Beckham hopes to see Jose Mourinho back in the Premier
League as soon as possible, but stopped short of tipping him for
a move to Manchester United.
Chelsea parted company with the 52-year-old manager on
Thursday after a disastrous start to their title defence saw them
lose nine of their first 16 games to leave them just one point
clear of the bottom three.
Beckham wants to see Mourinho remain in England when he
takes his next job, but felt it would be disrespectful to comment
on suggestions he could be ideal as United's next coach, given
Louis van Gaal is still in employment at Old Trafford.
"Unfortunately this is how football is, but there is no disputing
that Jose is one of the best managers in football," the former
England midfielder said.
"Winning the league obviously last year, virtually the same
squad this year – it is obviously surprising to see their league
position. But I love Jose, I think he is an incredible manager, a
great person and he is passionate about the game.
"I hope he comes back to the Premiership quickly because the
English public love him, the fans love seeing him on the sideline
and they love his character so it is a shame to see him leave.
"But Chelsea are a great club so they will move on quickly I am
sure. Roman [Abramovich] is passionate about the team so
they will move on pretty quickly."
Asked if Mourinho could be the next United manager, Beckham
said: "It would be disrespectful for me to even mention it
because Manchester United have got a manager and that is the
way it will continue until people decide otherwise."
