Jose Mourinho- Next destination?

It's difficult to predict his next club. Daniel Taylor says United City Arsenal PSG Madrid Barca and Bayern would have no interest.

I think he would make an excellent international manager and I'd like to see him as England's next manager. But most likely Portugal. Which i think is 20/1 and a very good price
 
I think Van Gaal is gone in the summer, but it will be swung from a PR perspectivethat he wanted see out his contract and didnt feel like he wanted to extend so the club was forced to make another appointment to avoid a scramble for a replacement and that we accepted because mourinho/guardiola is available. Its that or Giggs i reckon.
 
André Villas-Boas blasts Chelsea’s ‘incredible’ sacking of José Mourinho

Andre Villas-Boas found Chelsea’s sacking of José Mourinho “quite incredible”, saying owner Roman Abramovich “has sacked basically every coach that he’s had”.

Mourinho led Chelsea to the 2014/15 Premier League title, but the Portuguese left Stamford Bridge last month after what the club’s technical director Michael Emenalo described as a “palpable discord” with the players. Guus Hiddink was placed in interim control.

Villas-Boas worked with his compatriot Mourinho at Chelsea earlier in his career and returned for a short, unsuccessful spell as manager in 2011.n The former Tottenham coach is now in charge of Zenit St Petersburg. He is to leave the Russian club at the end of the season, when Chelsea will be looking for a permanent replacement for Mourinho.

Villas-Boas told BeIN Sports: “It’s been quite incredible to see that it [being sacked] was applied to everybody. It was applied to probably their dearest coach, their most successful coach, so in the end we have seen nothing different. Roman has sacked basically every coach that he’s had. It’s no different. It happened even to the best.

“The same criteria that he has applied to me, for Rafa Benítez, for all the other coaches, Ancelotti, he’s applied to José as well.”

This is the article by Duncan castles, who is far up Mourinho's arse. I think this might be very true as i dont think club will trust Ryan giggs yet(thank god for that). Castles will have most info on mourinho so i think its fair to say, this is close to the truth.

That article is nonsense. We are expected to believe that Mourinho broke off interest in Utd to return to Chelsea? Also don't think he would at all be motivated by revenge against Abramovich. Could easily make the case that Abramovich indulged his failure this season for too long because he owed him time based on his previous success.

We're supposed to believe that's what he told Duncan Castles.

You think he won't want to prove Chelsea wrong for sacking him?

Hasn't got much to prove to Chelsea and I don't reckon the personal enmity with Abramovich is that strong. Managing Utd is a stand alone job not requiring of supplementary motivations. Another reason why the idea he dropped pursuing it to return to a repeat challenge at Chelsea is tosh. Duncan Castles' stuff is no smarter than yours or mine.

What "basically"? He has, he's even sacked his current manager!

You're mistaking personal motivations with professional ones. His personal relationship with Abramovich is indeed still very good by all accounts, but are you seriously suggesting a man who is as arrogant as they come, a born winner, has not one fibre in him right now that is thinking "well that Chelsea sacking sort of hurt, I'd kind of like to prove them wrong in my next job and show that I'm still number one..."?

I've followed Duncan Castles since 2012, he gets some stuff wrong but when it comes to Mourinho he's excellent, basically an ass-licking extension of Jorge Mendes' PR team who gets thrown multiple bones.
 
A club with rich owner. Napoli, Roma have rich owners, don't they? Seria A could be much easier to win than La Liga with Valencia. He could easily add another CL with PSG too. I wouldn't rule out City either.
 
He will be our next manager. There is no doubt about it.
The mirror are reporting LVG will step down at end of season, mou will replace him.

I don't know much about Castles, but if Mourinho is ventriloquising concocted feelings via this journalist to make overtures to the Utd board he needn't have mentioned his desire to get one over on a club that are struggling in mid table. SAF's motivation to shift Liverpool off their perch was the real deal. Liverpool ruled the domestic game at the time. He had to build a team and strategy around superseding them. Mourinho, if he takes over at Old Trafford, will barely even need to check for Chelsea's results. In fact, I'll be disappointed if that actively plays any part in his motivation. Because it will be an early sign of the petulance I hope he will tone down if he manages Manchester United.

Jose wants to manage us because the manager has a high level of control and he really wants this job as well.
 
Everton should go after him. He loves managing in England and Everton with the talent they have are too inconsistent and underperform at times with Martinez. Since they finished 5th in his first season in charge, they have regressed. Plus Everton are a sleeping giant IMO.

He'll never go to Everton as they don't have unlimited funds to blow. I would be extremely surprised if he ever moves to a team that wouldn't be able to potentially challenge for top honours straight away.

Yep, and to be honest, he'd be daft not too. Could ruin his reputation if things didn't work out.

I think Jose is watching the Madrid situation to see how it turns out with Zidane personally.
 
Rumour has it (and we all know how accurate that can be!) that LVG has agreed to go (retire) in the summer as part of a face saving exercise and Mourinho will take over with Ryan Giggs as No.2 - apparently the deal is all but done and no major signings will be made in this transfer window, but plenty of movement in the summer.

We hear loads of rumours, most of them are rubbish but I give this one some credence.... Sir Bob has his reservations about Mourinho but I wouldn't be at all surprise if the money men at the top of the club are very worried about the lack of silverware lately and feel the need to get a proven successful manager in and over-rule him. It's obvious that Mourinho would leap at the job if offered on the right terms - this is one of the top football jobs in the world, after all, and it would round out his CV nicely.

This is what redissue is saying. It has been reported in mirror and sun. I think there may be an element of truth here.

I'm as anti-Mourinho as anyone, but surely the best approach is simply to see how he does/how he behaves at United? I don't believe he'll change at all but, seeing as I'm not psychic, I'm willing to give him a chance to prove me wrong.

I don't like his personality or what he represents in football. Would much rather LVG carries on.
 
I think he's a blight on the sport but when the options might be a) give up supporting United while he's manager, or b) giving him a chance, then there's no option for me.

He won't change anything. Don't need to be a psychic to know that. Only the fans will change to justify his refusal to change himself.
 
Just have this horrible, gut wrenching feeling that United's board just don't think he's classy enough to be our figurehead and will pass.
Giggs ahoy. :(

I'd still support United, I just wouldn't go any games and I'd be hoping for him to feck off. I'd only miss three seasons at most, hope we aren't a championship by the time he's gutted our youth and played our players into the ground.

It might well end up as civil war here. I just hope that not everyone - including me - reacts in a kneejerk way to everything he does and says.

Mourinho has been proven to win things, consistently, over and over and over, Simple as that.
You can endorse pretty football, promoting youth or what not, but at the end of the day, if you're not winning games, none of that in reality means jack shit.

Yes, how dare a United fan express a preference for the man more likely to bring the club silverware. Over an individual that's proven nothing from a managerial perspective.

I'm just fed up with that sentimental attitude to be honest, and I'm worried it's going to make sure the club is left behind if it continues. I'm fairly certain a huge number of our fans agree with me. Also, I strongly disagree that a Mourinho tenure of 3-5 years is going to poison our history all of a sudden.
 
Something has to change - dramatically - Twigg. We're idling our way into has-been status. It's not so much that we aren't winning things; it's just that there's the strong feeling that we could do better, from the top of the club down.

Exactly. And not just could do better - should do better! Under somewhat normal circuimstances for a club like United, they should have been running away with the title this season.

If the heritage and history of our club compel the men in power to opt for Giggs over Mourinho, then I certainly think it's deserving of derision.
 
If it was up to me, he'd have been here a few weeks now already. The respect he has for United and Sir Alex is palpable, not only am I convinced he would 'behave' in the correct manner here, I think he relishes the challenge which as of yet - barring an LVG masterpiece finish to the season - is still open: who will be the man to get us back into the major honours after SAF?

Jose knows he can do it and he probably knew all along that the only place he could actually build a legacy, knowing Barcelona are off limits and that Chelsea are owned by Roman, is United. No bigger feck you to Roman than winning more titles with United than Chelsea.
