“This is it” – Journalist reacts to Mourinho’s recent comments, linking him with Everton
Ian Croll believes Jose Mourinho could be the "Hollywood-style" manager to elevate Everton to new heights.
Liverpool Echo journalist suggests that although Jose Mourinho may not fit the typical profile The Friedkin Group would target, he could deliver results for Everton as they prepare to move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
This follows Mourinho’s October 24 statement, where the Fenerbahce manager expressed interest in returning to the Premier League, even with a club fighting relegation.
Croll wrote on X: “This Mourinho comment & apparent hint at Everton.
It goes against the grain of what I’d want for a young and up-and-coming manager working with a DOF.
But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be a success.
If there was ever a ‘Hollywood’ manager to take us into Bramley-Moore, this is it.”
Mourinho could indeed be a strong choice for Everton.
Known for his tactical expertise and experience with struggling teams, his appointment could significantly boost Everton’s competitive edge.
With a track record of winning trophies and fostering a winning mentality, Mourinho could uplift the squad and elevate overall performance.
In addition, his high-profile background, combined with his “Hollywood” appeal, could attract top talent and energize the fan base, providing Everton with a compelling new direction.
Although his style is often pragmatic rather than flashy, it’s an approach that could prove invaluable in relegation battles or even in the pursuit of European qualification.
While some fans may prefer a younger, more progressive manager, Mourinho’s immediate impact could provide the boost Everton needs as they transition to their new stadium, promoting a stronger team spirit and competitive mindset.
For Everton’s new owners, hiring Mourinho would send a message of ambition and commitment to their vision for the club, potentially revitalizing Mourinho’s career and setting a new chapter for the Toffees.
