Mourinho’s Ultimate XI: Surprise Snubs for Kane and Manchester United Stars

Share

Jose Mourinho has compiled a star-studded all-time XI featuring players he has coached throughout his illustrious career.

Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo earns a spot, while both Harry Kane and Manchester United players are left out.

The charismatic Portuguese manager has had successful stints at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Roma, achieving domestic honors in Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, including two Champions League victories.

Mourinho, who has collaborated with some of the football’s finest, crafted a formidable lineup dominated by talents from Real Madrid and Chelsea, as revealed on The Obi One Podcast.

Mourinho’s selected lineup features Petr Cech as the goalkeeper, forming a formidable defense with ex-Chelsea players John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, and William Gallas.

The only representative from Inter, Argentine icon Javier Zanetti, joins them in defense. In midfield, Frank Lampard partners with Mesut Ozil and Claude Makelele.

The attacking trio consists of Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, and Eden Hazard, showcasing a powerful and dynamic lineup.

Mourinho, in crafting his dream XI, notably excludes any Manchester United players, following his departure from the club in December 2018.

The No.9 position goes to Ivorian talisman Didier Drogba, chosen over England captain and current Bayern Munich star Harry Kane. This decision comes despite Kane’s goal-scoring prowess for Mourinho during a stint at Tottenham, which unfortunately did not yield any trophies.
