Jose Mourinho’s Win Percentage is Now Worse than Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes

Statistics show that ‘the Special One’ now has a lower win percentage in the Premier League than two men who were fired due to a perceived lack of success. It’s been a highly disappointing campaign for the Red Devils following the excitement that Mourinho’s appointment generated last summer.

The Portuguese coach has enjoyed an exceptional career that has seen him win titles with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid. It was thought that he, coupled with the club’s huge levels of spending in the transfer market, would have the club competing for major honours.

In fairness they’ve won the EFL Cup and will add the Europa League if they beat Ajax in the final next week. However their league campaign has been disastrous and they currently find themselves sixth in the table.

In recent weeks Mourinho has admitted his focus is on winning the Europa League and it’s coincided with Manchester United’s 25 Premier League game unbeaten run being ended by defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham.

Those losses have seen Mourinho’s win percentage dip to 47.2% – a figure below that of Van Gaal and Moyes.

Van Gaal’s win percentage in his first season at Old Trafford was 52.6% and then 50% in his second term. The Dutchman was sacked after that second season, with that decision emerging moments after he delivered the FA Cup.

Moyes meanwhile had a win percentage of 50% before he was sacked after 34 Premier League games in charge.

How have Sir Alex Ferguson's successors fared?

2013/14 – under Moyes

34 games, 17 wins, 6 draws, 11 defeats

Win percentage: 50%

2014/15 – under LvG

38 games, 20 wins, 10 draws, 8 defeats

Win percentage: 52.63

2015/16 – under LvG

38 games, 19 wins, 9 draws, 10 defeats,

Win percentage: 50%

(LvG overall win percentage: 51.32)

2016/17 – under Mourinho

36 games, 17 wins, 14 draws, 5 defeats

Win percentage: 47.2%

The figures will be a worry for Mourinho who has been doing his best to talk up the club’s successes in cup competitions while simultaneously pointing to a long injury list and busy fixture schedule.

There is no suggestion the former Chelsea manager will be fired, but with another big spending spree expected this summer, surely Mourinho will be at risk if the win percentage doesn’t improve next season.

Real Madrid Left Back Marcelo Ruled Out for One Month while Toni Kroos will Miss Real Madrid's trip to Alaves

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is set join Marcelo in the treatment room when Los Blancos visit Alaves on Saturday (23 September) after suffering a rib injury. The news is a fresh concern for Zinedine Zidane as Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, Jesus Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are also ruled out for the visit to Mendizorroza due to various injuries. Kroos, 27, missed the last weekend's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad due to a fitness problem. The Germany international returned to Zidane's starting line-up for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and was able to complete the full 90 minutes. However, it looks like Kroos suffered a recurrence of the problem in that game after Real Madrid revealed on Friday morning that the midfielder skipped the final training session before Los Blancos' trip to Vitoria. Zidane himself later confirmed the blow in a press conference, adding that he expects the midfielder to recover in time for the crucial Champions League trip t...

Tottenham Close to Completing £23m Serge Aurier Transfer

Tottenham are closing in on a £23million move for Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier. The Ivory Coast international has been free to leave the French giants following the arrival of Dani Alves to the club. Aurier, 24, has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Chelsea but Spurs have shown the firmest interest in the right-back. Mauricio Pochettino sanctioned Kyle Walker’s £50million move to Manchester City on the basis that Kieran Trippier had shown he was a worthy replacement towards the end of last season. However, the Argentine wants greater strength in depth and the Evening Standard claim Spurs are close to a £23m deal and Aurier will sign a five-year deal. Aurier was denied entry into the UK last October for Paris Saint-Germain’s clash with Arsenal because he was found guilty of elbowing a police offer a month earlier. The ban is still in place but Aurier is currently contesting the charge and Spurs are clearly confident that he will win his case....

Chelsea Forward Lucas Piazon Suffers Broken Leg

Chelsea playmaker Lucas Piazon suffered a suspected broken leg last night. The 23-year-old was in action for Fulham, where is on loan for the season, when the injury occurred. The Brazilian forward, who scored a late equaliser against former club Reading over the weekend to secure Slavisa Jokanovic's 10 men an unlikely point, had to be carried off the pitch in the 35th minute of a Tuesday night (15 August) Championship stalemate at Leeds United after being hurt by a strong challenge from Conor Shaughnessy. The clash, which did not even produce a free-kick, left Piazon with a broken fibula. ‘We are so disappointed for this situation about Lucas Piazon. I believe he broke the fibula or broke the leg,’ said Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic. ‘It’s a very bad injury and we will lose him for a long time. It’s not a question about complaining – it can be bad luck or a tackle outside of the normal. ‘But I’m really disappointed with what I heard from one of the referees w...
