No doubt, ousted Chelsea manager, Jose
Mourinho has been penned-down as one of the
best football coaches that has graced planet
earth.


Not only is he regarded by a number of players,
coaches, and commentators as one of the greatest
and most successful managers in the world, the
presence of ‘The Special One’ has electrified the
football world especially for his antics and mind
games.

However, as good as Mourinho is, there are players
his tactics almost ruined their career.


1. Daniel Sturridge:

Sensational striker who currently plays for Liverpool
FC. He felt “deprived” when he did not have the
opportunity to express himself at Chelsea under Jose
Mourinho.

Luck came his way when Brendan Rodgers pulled his
£12million master stroke in the transfer market and
paired Sturridge with Luis Suarez. That combination
got over 50 goals at the 2013/2014 season.


2. Mikel:
Great Nigerian midfielder. John Michael Nchekwube
Obinna, known as John Obi Mikel, joined Chelsea in
2006 months after he was adjudged the second most
valuable player at the u-20 World Cup.

The 28-year-old was an attacking midfielder, but with
manager Mourinho’s first spell at Stamford Bridge,
Mikel played in the midfield alongside Joe Cole,
Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack,
Malouda and few others.


With time, he occupied the defensive midfield for
Chelsea but showed great scoring potentials
whenever he was on national duty scoring a number
of goals for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
However, the return of ‘The Special One’ condemned
the Nigerian to bench for most part of the 2014/2015
season.
With the sacking of Mourinho as Chelsea manager,
interim coach, Guus Hiddink has rejuvenated Mikel’s
game. With Chelsea’s 3 – 0 win away to Crystal
Palace, Mikel was awarded the man of the match; an
indication he is still a great player.


3. Juan Mata:
Very skilful left-footer. The Spaniard won Chelsea’s
Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013, playing a pivotal
role for the Blues.
However, at a point, Mourinho condemned Mata to
bench for an awful long time an action which Chelsea
fans considered unfair.

At his exit at Stamford Bridge, The Special One
apologised he did not make the Spainard “a better
player”.
He said: “I feel sorry that I didn’t make him happy,
but football is football and I build a team around
Oscar in that position,”.
Mata moved to Manchester United and has since
beaten his Chelsea goal tally in 22 fewer matches for
the Red Devils.
The Spanish midfielder moved to Old Trafford in
January 2014 for a hefty £37.1million and has made
his mark at the Theatre of Dreams.


4. Juan Cuadrado:
The Colombian star moved to Stamford Bridge for a
reported £26 million with the hopes that his
combination with Hazard will become a thorn in the
flesh for defenders in England.
Yet, the ‘Blues’ manager gave the former Fiorentina
goal poacher little or no chance to showcase himself.
Juan Cuadrado spent more time on the bench at
Chelsea
The 27-year-old attacking maestro who is currently
on a season-long loan with Juventus scored 20 goals
for Fiorentina before joining Chelsea.
However, under the ex Chelsea manager, Cuadrado
only managed to appear 13 times in the 2014/2015
season with no goals; and in his new club Juventus,
the Colombian has featured 14 times and has netted
twice with the season just half way.



5. Petr Cech:
The Czech goalkeeper completed a £10m switch to
the Gunners after the continual use of new arrival,
Thibaut Courtois, as he was forced to the bench.

At his exit at Chelsea, Mourinho said: “Petr Cech has
been a great servant for Chelsea for 11 years and
helped this club to win almost everything there is to
win.”
“I always said I wanted him to stay but I understand
Petr needed to move on to play first team football
every week.
At Arsenal, Cech has been a major force that has
helped Arsene Wenger’s men to the top of the EPL
table after 20 games.
The 33-year-old has featured for the Gunners in 20
games and has been crucial for the club, making
quite a number of great saves.
