Beard Liberation Front says Jose Mourinho ‘didn’t get’ new era of managerial facial hair
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that a major issue with Jose Mourinho’s latest period of Premiership football management at Spurs, which ended today, is that he was simply out of touch with the importance of managerial facial hair in the modern era.
While managers from Nuno at Wolves and Klopp at Liverpool to Hasenhuttl at Southampton and even Arteta at Arsenal understood the importance of managerial beard power, Mourinho rarely progressed beyond modest stubble.
The stubble represented a lack of intent to dynamically intervene in a match, often symbolised by Mourinho slumped in a seat in the manager’s area.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Mourinho who had success in the clean shaven era of football management, vaguely grasped the importance of facial hair in the modern game but was way off understanding what was required.
