Mourinho returns to united first time since sack
Three-time Premier League winner Jose Mourinho has returned to Old Trafford for the first time since he was sacked by Manchester United in December 2018. The former Chelsea manager has joined the Sky Sports team as part of its biggest ever season of football.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United manager has brought a wealth of knowledge from dressing rooms and dugouts across the country and strong opinions that will be put to use in the Sky Sports studio this season. Mourinho has made his first appearance in the studio for Chelsea’s visit to Manchester United on Sunday.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea manager revealed that he is in a tough position as he is set to analyse the Premier League opener between two of his former sides. He said to Sky Sports: “You have to admit not an easy day for me, my two previous clubs. First time I’m back to Old Trafford, it’s not the easiest for me.”
Jose Mourinho won three Premier League titles while he was at the helm at Stamford Bridge and he helped the Blues win the FA Cup and League Cup as well.
He was in charge at Old Trafford for two and a half seasons from 2016 till December 2018 and he took Manchester United to League Cup and Europa League success, completing the set of European titles for the Manchester club.
Mourinho will work with a Sky Sports team already consisting of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp. He said of his new job: “The Premier League is a special competition for me, one that takes so much hard work to win and you just can’t take your eyes off the matches every week.”
“Sky Sports is the home of the Premier League and it’s a pleasure for me to join this team and help to understand and explain what happened in each match. Football is a huge passion, it means so much to the fans, and I look forward to being part of the Premier League with them until I return to my place on the touchline,” the former Manchester United boss concluded.
