Just 10 days ago, Jose Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes was telling the world that his client was ‘very happy and committed’ to Manchester United.
On Tuesday, he will probably be out looking for jobs for the Portuguese coach, who ended his stint at the Premier League club after a topsy-turvy season.
It was a stint perhaps best classified by Mourinho's tussle with star man Paul Pogba. Or his mad dash after Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni on the touchline. Or his frequent jousting with the press. Or him angrily kicking the wall during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
Here’s a timeline of his stay at the club:
27 May, 2016: Replaces Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager
7 August, 2016: Manchester United clinch the Community Shield at Wembley after beating Premier League champions Leicester 2-1. This was United’s first silverware under him
23 October, 2016: Mourinho’s former side Chelsea scorch United 4-0 in the manager’s return to Stamford Bridge after getting sacked the previous season. This defeat comes just a month after United lost in the Manchester Derby to Pep Guardiola, Mourinho’s nemesis
29 October, 2016: Is sent off to the stands for protesting a decision in 0-0 home draw against Burnley. Spends second-half handing scribbled instructions on notes to his assistant.
