JOSE MOURINHO MADE the wrong decision in returning for a second stint at Chelsea, according to Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho has taken over at Manchester United after leaving Stamford Bridge before Christmas last season.
The Portuguese tactician was appointed again at Chelsea in mid-2013, leading the club to a Premier League title.
But it turned sour for Mourinho in London, departing in December last year after losing nine of 16 league games.
Ferguson, a friend of the former Real Madrid and Inter coach as well as a club ambassador at United, believes Mourinho should never have returned to Chelsea.
I thought Jose was wrong to go back to Chelsea, I really do,” the legendary former United boss told Sky Sports at a charity event.
“I think it’s always difficult going back to somewhere for a second time.
The ability, charisma and personality, his success is high, won a European Cup twice with different clubs, won a Europa [League] with Porto, winning titles with all the teams he’s managed. His record – you can’t ignore that.
“I think Manchester United is the right kind of club for him, I really do. I think we’ll do well.”
United finished fifth in the league last season, but Mourinho has already added Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eric Bailly to his squad with further signings likely.

He’s not a playmaker they’re relying on him too much
Refreshing to see an actual African managing an African team and not some old white guy with floppy hair.
@Kris Ertz: that’s very racist of you
@Alana: Not racist. It is refreshing to see African managers reaching their potential. They are nearly invisible in the game. And like he said, in their place, European hasbeens.
@Alana: you really are a sad sad little boy
@Kris Ertz: Tunisian manager is African also
Another Liverpool player under performing
@Crpytoalchol: what about kingpog ? He’s the world leader in underperforming, but at least his hair looks cool
Another bitter man utd fan
@Alana: king Pog
@Just a buiscuit: what’s there to be bitter about? Hahaha
@Crpytoalchol:
Where do I start?
A horrible hasbeen manager implementing horrible football backed up by dabber pogs and mr mercenary senor Sanchez is a good start to be bitter I suppose!! Mouring the fact that yer not even the best in yer own City would bring on even more bitterness.So your only medicine for your bitterness is to bring Liverpool players into a discussion and have a cut off them .All of this screams bitter to me .
@Crpytoalchol: #pog$h1t
@Just a buiscuit: ye haven’t won anything in 6 years……. I could never be bitter to a club like that. Just feel sorry for the supporters of that club
How could mane play well with that donkey beside him,he would push the danish guy close for the worst forward at the tournament
