jose mourinho is a miserable icon

Mourinho has a job, a good job. He manages a football team. They’re doing well, very well. Everywhere he goes, he does well. He’s a very successful man. He makes a lot of money, has a lovely family, lives in a smart home, does a healthy degree of international travel, is good looking, widely admired – he has a lot going for him.

However, every time you see Mourinho, these days, he looks miserable. Like he doesn’t want to be there. When he first came to England, he used to smile and joke a bit. Nowadays, he scowls, he frets, he is quite clearly unhappy.

As such, he is a modern icon. Who does like their job? Of all the people I have known who have had a regular job, how many have enjoyed it? That includes myself in the dim, distant days of graft. All over this city, people go to work every day, make good money, do things that might be amazing or might be banal, and it makes no difference. They might be at the top of the tree or they might be collecting acorns, they still come home with a Mourinho scowl. People come from all over the world to this city in order to acquire a Mourinho scowl.

It’s another string to his bow.

Jose Mourinho is a miserable icon.

And having a ball... You're right. It all makes sense now. Maybe he was the double that drew the short straw.

He being the manager not the guitar player. Or any other Jose's that are brooding around.
