Netflix will release a series of brand new sport documentaries including one that relives the incredible career of Jose Mourinho.
The American streaming service have announced a series of new projects, one of which follows the former Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham boss. That series is expected to be released at some point in 2025.
It will take a deep dive into his career and the successes that he has enjoyed with his various clubs. Mourinho is currently out of work following his sacking by Italian giants Roma.
That is not the only football-related series earmarked for Netflix ’s broadcasting calendar. A documentary titled The Final: Attack on Wembley is due to be released in May this year. It will take a deep look at the chaos that marred the delayed Euro 2020 final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium.
It will include ‘first-hand testimony and visceral user-generated-content’ in order to tell a detailed account of the build-up to the final and what allowed the scenes to turn so ugly. While that is set to get the tongues wagging, the football-related programming does not end there.
