Jose Mourinho is not the short or long-term answer for Arsenal

Jose Mourinho is far too disruptive to be an Arsenal manager.

Arsenal has been linked with a move for Jose Mourinho as Unai Emery continues to struggle to make an impression.
Some Arsenal fans have been calling for the sacking of Emery and many fans view Mourinho as a quick fix. Just check out some of the comments on this site for confirmation.

Mourinho is arguably one of the best managers in the world. But the Portuguese manager comes with his own problems as evidenced by his last two spells at Chelsea and Manchester United.

As Chelsea boss, he won trophies but quickly fell out with virtually everyone from his players to the FA. For a club facing a tough time and in an environment getting increasingly toxic, Mourinho is the last manager that Arsenal needs.

Arsenal fans have been complaining that Unai Emery’s team haven’t been creative enough and that will only get worse under the former Real Madrid manager. Mourinho may have won lots of trophies, but he doesn’t play attractive football.

The Portuguese manager also has a tendency to have a bad season after his first two, so if he fails to win the Premier League in his first season with Arsenal, his team may become worse than that of Emery.

Mourinho’s time at United ended when his defence couldn’t stop conceding goals, sound familiar? He will also likely put an end to Arsenal’s culture of promoting youngsters to the first team.

It is easy to understand why some fans want Mourinho but for me, it is purely an emotional reaction.

Arsenal can and should do better than Jose Mourinho.
