José Mourinho, the former Manchester United manager, has revealed he initially agreed to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson when the latter retired in 2013. However, he later changed his mind and returned to Chelsea. This news comes in a new Netflix documentary series about Mourinho's career, premiering on August 11. Ferguson, who managed Manchester United for 26 years and won 13 Premier League titles, recommended David Moyes as his successor.
Moyes, dubbed "The Chosen One," lasted only 10 months before being sacked. When asked about his decision to reject the Manchester United managerial role, Mourinho stated that his emotional desire to return to Chelsea, where he had previously won two consecutive Premier League titles, was the primary reason. Ferguson expressed disappointment at Mourinho's change of heart, but Mourinho has no regrets, emphasizing that his allegiance to Chelsea was stronger than his love for football.
