Some of the potential replacements are more newsworthy than others \u2013 and then there&#8217;s Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p>The very idea of Mourinho rocking up at the Emirates \u2013 in the same city he won two Premier League titles with Chelsea \u2013 is inherently strange. Although he has already clouded his love affair with Chelsea by taking over at another English club, Manchester United, the concept of Mourinho taking charge at Arsenal is somewhat unthinkable.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; max-width: 700px;\" title=\"Audioboom player\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/posts\/7405357\/embed\/v4\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And yet, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.co.uk\/football\/arsenal\/story\/3976965\/sources-jose-mourinho-open-to-replacing-unai-emery-at-arsenal?platform=amp&amp;__twitter_impression=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a>, Mourinho would be interested in moving to the Emirates were Emery to be relieved of his duties. It is believed Arsenal are not planning an immediate change, but the pressure on Emery is said to be building.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that in mind, we&#8217;ve imagined a scenario in which Mourinho becomes Arsenal&#8217;s new manager. Who would benefit from his appointment? And who would suffer from it? Here are the key winners and losers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Winner:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Mesut Ozil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s safe to say Mourinho and Mesut Ozil had a complicated relationship during their time together at Real Madrid. The midfielder recounted a disagreement between the pair in his book, The Magic of the Game, in which Mourinho criticised Ozil in front of his teammates, calling him a coward.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Mesut \u00d6zil in LaLiga under Jose Mourinho:<\/p>\n<p>103 games<br \/>\n313 chances created<br \/>\n138 successful crosses<br \/>\n115 take-ons<br \/>\n100 shots<br \/>\n47 assists<br \/>\n19 goals <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MLmmvRL0V3\">pic.twitter.com\/MLmmvRL0V3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Squawka Football (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/921376714089029632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of that incident, Ozil played some his best football under Mourinho, and there is a feeling they could get the best out of each other if reunited. Mourinho knows the talent Ozil possesses better than most, and although harsh, the example above shows he knows the former Germany international&#8217;s weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>If Mourinho reintroduced Ozil into the fold at the Emirates, we could see the 31-year-old recapture his best form in an Arsenal shirt.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loser:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>David Luiz<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another player, another complicated relationship with Mourinho, who sanctioned the sale of David Luiz to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2014. After Luiz left, Mourinho said the defender would not be missed, to which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/i-don-t-care-what-jose-mourinho-says-david-luiz-in-parting-shot-at-chelsea-boss-9656830.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luiz replied<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIf he would be saying that he would miss me, then he would actually contradict himself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1108088\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/24171009\/david-luiz-watford-arsenal-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/24171009\/david-luiz-watford-arsenal-2019.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/24171009\/david-luiz-watford-arsenal-2019-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/24171009\/david-luiz-watford-arsenal-2019-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/24171009\/david-luiz-watford-arsenal-2019-66x45.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Were he to become Arsenal boss, Mourinho may have to contradict himself again. Luiz was a key signing for Arsenal in the summer and is currently a guaranteed starter. With few other options, Mourinho would have to continue playing the Brazilian despite their past disagreements.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the pair might be on better terms now than they were then, but Mourinho hasn&#8217;t hesitated in criticising Luiz in the past, and things could easily blow up all over again.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Winners: Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of Emery&#8217;s biggest issues, particularly this season, has been getting the balance right in central midfield. Captain Granit Xhaka has struggled and, like Emery, faces an uncertain future following his angry confrontation with a section of the support against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1107910\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/23195000\/matteo-guendouzi-arsenal-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/23195000\/matteo-guendouzi-arsenal-2019.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/23195000\/matteo-guendouzi-arsenal-2019-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/23195000\/matteo-guendouzi-arsenal-2019-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/09\/23195000\/matteo-guendouzi-arsenal-2019-66x44.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lucas Torreira was linked with a return to Italy in the summer but has shown signs he should be a regular starter this term, while Matteo Guendouzi has been one of Arsenal&#8217;s standout players. It&#8217;s easy to imagine Mourinho going with a midfield partnership of Torreira and Guendouzi, who he could develop into a fearsome twosome in front of the backline.<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho&#8217;s tactics require strong holding midfielders who also possess a certain degree of technical ability. At 23 and 20 years of age respectively, Torreira and Guendouzi have the potential to develop into ideal candidates for those roles under Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Know Your Squad: \u2018Xhaka?!\u2019 Arsenal fans quizzed w\/Sophie Rose\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bsij4XsIbDk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loser: Arsene Wenger<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mourinho didn&#8217;t exactly get on with Arsene Wenger during their time in opposite dugouts.

So for the former Inter Milan coach to come in just 18 months after Wenger&#8217;s departure would be something of an insult to a club legend.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1111755\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/ballon-dor-without-messi-ronaldo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1111755\" class=\"wp-image-1111755 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Ballon d'Or winners\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-66x37.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-620x350.png 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo-940x530.png 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/06\/21125851\/ballon-dor-winners-without-messi-and-ronaldo.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1111755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/ballon-dor-without-messi-ronaldo\">Ballon d\u2019Or winners in a world without Messi &amp; Ronaldo<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Winner:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On punditry duty for Sky Sports during Arsenal&#8217;s defeat at Liverpool earlier this season, Mourinho suggested Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be an ideal option for the Merseysiders on the left \u2013 or, at least, he&#8217;d be more effective in that position for Liverpool than Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Aubameyang probably likes to play in the middle because he feels that he can score more goals,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1172678\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Liverpool-Arsenal-Roberto-Firmino-Jose-Mourinho-Premier-League\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mourinho said<\/a>. &#8220;But maybe he can score as many goals playing on the left.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1112420\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/25082343\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Arsenal-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/25082343\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Arsenal-2019.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/25082343\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Arsenal-2019-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/25082343\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Arsenal-2019-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/25082343\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang-Arsenal-2019-66x47.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happens in Liverpool, [Roberto] Firmino drops back, in between the lines.

At Arsenal, [Alexandre] Lacazette doesn\u2019t have that quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By reading into these quotes, we shouldn&#8217;t conclude that Mourinho would play Aubameyang on the left for Arsenal.
