Mourinho continues Adidas relationship
This is a continuation of a long-standing relationship that survived even the 'special one' coaching a Nike-sponsored club in Tottenham.
In 2019, when Mourinho accepted the Spurs job, a Nike team, the commercial and business side of the sport was rocked, as managers are rarely sponsored by conflicting sports brands with the club they coach.
The norm was for the coaches to get a side deal on top of the club's contract with the brands. Such examples were Jurgen Klopp's deal with New Balance, who were Liverpool's sponsors at the time, and Pep Guardiola's deal with Puma, Manchester City's kit makers.
Despite joining Tottenham, a club Jose has since left, Adidas reportedly kept him on, as according to the Daily Mail, they viewed him as commercially valuable as ex-football stars like David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
