If he does leave, I doubt there will be many of the "big" jobs available in the summer. Maybe Spurs if Redknapp goes for the England job but thats probably it. United, City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all unlikely to be looking for a new manager which leaves very few options. Chelsea are a slim possibility since Roman isnt know for patience, but I doubt he'd go back with the way he left.

Highly unlikely, but if he REALLY wants to return to England, maybe QPR? They have the money for him to spend but wouldnt really be challenging for much. It would be a very big step down for him too. If he leaves, I reckon he'll wait a year and see how things look. If their is still no sign of a job opening up he would probably be tempted to look elsewhere, maybe Germany for a year or two.

He'd walk into nearly any top job in England bar utd and possibly Arsenal atm. He's a top top manager.

You think Liverpool, City etc will just sack their current manager regardless? He'd walk into any of them no problem, if they were available. I think only the Spurs job has a chance of being available, slim chance of Chelsea. Saying that, I dont think he would take either job but for different reasons.

Mourinho will be the next united manager.

If mouriniho does leave Madrid I can see rafa benitez taking the job

barone · 29-01-2012 10:51AM

if he goes it will be to utd.. ive a feeling this is fergies last year,he's just not saying so after what happend the last time he said he was leavin

Leiva · 29-01-2012 11:36AM

Did he actually say the PL ?

If so then he must be lined up for one of the top5 .

Who could that be ?

My guess (in order) would be ;
UTD.
Spurs.
LFC.
Arsenal.

Or would City put Manchini out ? Probably .

barone · 29-01-2012 11:49AM

unless spurs get taken over he will never be there imo... mega bucks or mega prestige is mourinho's m.o

Playboy · 29-01-2012 01:08PM

I think London will be a factor in his decision. I dont think Spurs have enough cash to spend on transfers to tempt Mouriniho .. maybe in a few years when the stadium is built. Can anyone see a return to Chelsea or taking over from Wegner? I think Fergie will be around for a few years yet .. I dont think he would know what to do with himself if he retires.

11 More Goals Scored than Barca, 7 points ahead of one of the greatest teams ever, and yet this man is 'under pressure'! No suprise though just look what Perez did to Del Bosque after he won the league.

Look at his career since then. He was a nobody at Porto so couldn't really demand money. He's one of the top managers in the world now so can do things whatever way he wants which usually involves spending a fair bit of money to get what he needs quickly.

1st club stepping stone

JM isnt going anywhere, hes most likely orchestrated all this as a distraction, some d1ckhead in the squad leaked some info and rather than having that as the centre of attention all this talk of him leaving starts sufacing, he was great at doing that at chealsea also, any time a bad result occured he came out with some audacious comment which was the centre of atention for a week or two and nobody gave a sh1t that chealsea lost,

he went to madrid who often have a Director of Football buying players for the Coach to manage, but as soon as JM arrived he managed to the get the DOF role reduced and he was put in full control of all aspects involving first team affairs at madrid, one reason he left chealsea was cause abramovich was interfering with his maganing the team, its also a reason hed probably love the UTD job,
he needs to be in control, and it looks like its really paying off for madrid, much to my dissatisfaction

Mourinho will stay.

He's using this to strengthen his position and it's the perfect time to say it. He pretty much has the league in the bag. Once R. Madrid win it, they'll beg him to stay. He will, but on his terms. He's just doing this to wrangle more control over the club. If I'm right, then it's a clever move

He'll stay until his contract is up in 2014, then maybe go to United. Ferguson will stay on for three years minimum

Hmmmm...This is Real Madrid your talking about. The same club who sacked del bosque the day after he won the league. No way they would ever beg anybody to stay!

yeah but there not in a period of dominacne, where any old fool could manage the team, they have a hugh rival in barcelona now, and that wont be going anywhere for probably another 5+ years, so there gonna need a top manager to keep the team motivated, theres not many better than JM out there at the moment,

dfx- · 30-01-2012 02:31PM

Capello was also ditched.

The one thing in Mourinho's favour is that Perez has invested so much in Mourinho that he might not be as willing to let him go. However if they win the league, it might enough to save face for both and part ways. I suppose too if Guardiola leaves, Madrid could capitalise on the new manager bedding in by keeping Mourinho.

Could be two different managers at the helm of the two clubs next season.

Del Bosque was sacked after winning the Champions League. He was let go because they didn't win the league. There was plenty of competition at the time.

Capello won their first title in a few seasons and was promptly dismissed because the football wasn't up to scratch.

Stuff like the above, as bat**** insane as it is, is what makes Real Madrid the greatest club in the world.

everdead.ie · 30-01-2012 02:43PM

How much has mourinhio spent ar Real? I was under the impression that he's only added a few players ozil,carvalio and another couple. But he hasn't paid big money for anyone he has a good team there already.

I wonder actually have Barca spent more then real since he came? Because they tend to bring so many through the ranks they buy big like Ibrahimovic, villa and Fabergas

Sorry was it the CL, my memory is a bit hazy now at this stage!
Haha ya really gotta love the craziness of that club!! Funny enough it was perez as president last time who sacked del bosque, so he could easily turn around at the end of this season and sack mourinho..

He bought Di Maria, Sahin, Alonso, Coentrao, Ozil and Carvalho afaik. In that same period I think Barca have only bought Villa, Alexis and Cesc.

Alonso was there a year before him. Barca also bought Masch in that period.

No you're right, it was the league Del Bosque won and then got sacked.

Pipped Real Sociedad on the final day iirc but got knocked out of the CL by Juventus and he was ultimately sacked for that.

Capello was sacked twice by Real, both times he had won the league. Outrageous, but there you go.

Also within the post there is a small interview with Guillem Balague who reckons he will leave too.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is ready to leave the club at the end of the season in favour of a return to the Premier League, according to reports.

Mourinho currently has Real seven points clear of reigning champions Barcelona in La Liga, but his future at the Santiago Bernabeu remains uncertain.

The former Chelsea manager has previously spoken of returning to manage in England and is understood to no longer be feeling the same enjoyment of coaching Real, who he joined in 2010 after a successful spell at Inter Milan.
Reports claim the Portuguese is unhappy with the pace of change at the club, the Spanish media and there are concerns not all of the players support his philosophy.

The 49-year-old, meanwhile, has not managed to break Barcelona's dominance in matches between the two rivals while he has attracted negative headlines for a number of unsavoury episodes

Last weekend he was booed and whistled by some Real fans responding to others chanting his name although he professed to be unconcerned.

Will Mourinho return to Premier League?
Last month Real president Florentino Perez insisted Mourinho was the man to usurp Barca, saying: "Signing Jose Mourinho has been my best decision as president of Real Madrid."

However, reports are claiming he will choose to leave Real and return England once the current season is over.

Mourinho spent a little over three years at Chelsea from June 2004, twice winning the league and League Cup as well as the FA Cup before his sudden exit in September 2007.

He has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, while he has also been mooted as a contender for the Tottenham Hotspur job if Harry Redknapp leaves to take charge of England after Euro 2012.

Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have also been floated as possible destinations for Mourinho, if he decides to leave Real.

I reckon that makes it less likely he will leave so.

He'll just keep saying it, and when Mourinho finally leaves, well, he called it!

David Villa was a cert to leave Valencia every transfer window for about 2 years before he went!

Further news was just that Levy has sounded him out about the Spurs job in the summer.

I think Capello walked from Madrid the first time.

Didn't get sacked because they played very good football under him with an attacking trident of Raul, Suker and Mijatovic.

And here's a wild card choice....what about a return to Inter?
