Unai Emery reveals why Jose Mourinho’s sacking is bad news for the Premier League

Manchester United sacked Jose Mourinho on Tuesday after the club’s worst start to a season in nearly three decades. He managed only 17 games of the 2018/19 season, with the club sixth in the table and 19 points behind leaders Liverpool. However, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final meeting with Tottenham, Arsenal boss Unai Emery admitted his shock given Mourinho's "very big" experience. "The only thing I can say to you is that it's a surprise for me and not good news, because when one coach finishes his work like that, it's not good for coaches," he said. "Each coach has their own way of management. They always think how they can be better with the work they do every day, their management team and the players collectively and individually. "They're pushing with one way or another way. Mourinho's experience in the Premier League and of coaching, in general, is very, very big. It's not good news, but I don't know why this decision has been made."
