Jose Mourinho sacked by Manchester United: Angry rants, Paul Pogba tiff and Europa League title, timeline of his three seasons in charge

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
