Jose Mourinho: The Special One in Social Media beats Star Wars Craze

The termination by ‘mutual consent’ of Jose Mourinho by Chelsea stirred a storm in the footballing circles on Thursday afternoon.

Conventional and social media were abuzz with clicks and hits on the latest Mourinho update. But what was unimaginable was that Mourinho would surge to the number one spot on search topics on Google and Twitter.

With the latest Star Wars movie – “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” set to open, it was expected that the movie would dominate Google searches.

However, during a short span of 25 minutes the search string “Mourinho” topple “Star Wars” as the most searched topic on Google.
