Mourinho touted for stunning Premier League return with West Ham
Jose Mourinho is being talked up to become the next West Ham boss, replacing David Moyes, after their Europa League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
“I don’t know if David wants to stay, to be honest,” McAvennie told Football Insider. “Why has he not signed a new contract by now if he wants to stay? Graham Potter has been mentioned, Jose Mourinho has been mentioned. I’m a big fan of Mourinho – I don’t care what anyone says. That guy knows how to win tournaments and win trophies.

“He wasn’t good enough for Man United – he only won the Europa League and the [Carabao] Cup! Apparently, he was a disaster there – really? I would love to see him come in. He gets criticised for his negative play, but if Mourinho had that team he wouldn’t be negative. Anyone can see that the defence needs to be fixed. Mourinho is solid defensively – that’s for sure.”
Statistically, Mourinho holds an impressive career record, boasting a win percentage of 61.87%, with victories in 701 out of 1133 games managed. In contrast, Moyes has a win percentage of 43.70% from his second stint at West Ham, securing 111 wins out of 254 matches.
West Ham will be back in action against Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday. Moyes will hope to put three points on the board, before the return leg against Bayer Leverkusen next week.
