its true that at present day media decides who will manage which club. when the Jose was appointed its seems that media is not happy with this guy. ever since his days with Chelsea and its melt down when took a year break media forgot him and then he joined inter and history repeats he won treble on 2nd season including CL win over Bayern. then he join real Madrid and media again start pooling him down. there was several incident which seems normal but media elaborate it as Jose involved in those. again there is players rebellion and Jose out. He join Chelsea... everything fine he won league in 2nd season and then again media come its role again the players rebellion and Jose sacked in mid season. Now at united he won the double with Europa league victory in first season and 2 and season he finishes 2nd to ManC...again media come its role and they trying to pull down him..there are tremendous amt of bidding done abt his Sacking. there are several examples say Conte, van gaal with ManU. Now Jose....media wants something for their news and Jose is hot news where ever he goes.
