I hoped he does not come to the English Premier League again.
I hate to sit through 1 - 0 matches.

This fucking Mourinho is fucking unbelievable.

I believe he will be the first Manager to win 3 European Champions League with 3 different clubs (Porto / Inter / likely to be Real Madrid)...

He is still relatively young & will be inducted into UEFA's Hall of Fame for Legendary Managers for sure ....

Between him & Louis Van Gaal, I am glad Jose won rather than that smug fat slob....

i still believe he will succeed Fergie in the future

Jose Mourinho

MADRID : Jose Mourinho, fresh from guiding Inter Milan to Champions League glory, will sign a four-year deal with Real Madrid worth 10 million euros a year, Spanish newspapers reported Sunday. AS claimed the Portuguese coach had come to an agreement with Real president Florentino Perez on Friday, the day before Mourinho's Inter Milan side beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the Champions League final in Madrid.

Marca, which headlined "Real Madrid recruits a champion", said the new coach of the Spanish giants would be unveiled on either Tuesday or Wednesday. The two sports dailies concurred that the length of the contract would be four years, with the former Chelsea coach netting 10 million euros a season.

Some Inter players could also follow Mourinho to Madrid, according to the papers, notably Brazilian right-back Maicon and Argentinian striker Diego Milito, the former Zaragoza player who scored a brace against Bayern on Saturday. Mourinho, who also guided Porto to European glory in 2004, follows Ernst Happel and Ottmar Hitzfeld as a member of the select band of coaches to have won the Champions League with two different clubs.

The Portuguese, who joined Inter two years ago, has also won two Serie A titles and an Italian Cup. And speaking after the Champions League final, he acknowledged to having his eye on making history and confirmed that he would meet Perez on Monday. "I want to be the only coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs," he said. "It's more likely that I will leave rather than stay.

"Only Real are interested in me but I haven't spoken with anyone and I haven't signed anything," said the Portuguese coach, who has delivered Inter's first European title since 1965. "When I win I don't stop and in Italy I have won everything. I've won the Champions League with two clubs and I can do it with three. "There are many things (in Italy) that I haven't liked and for three to four months I've been thinking of going."

He said that only after speaking to Perez will he know if Real can offer him what he wants. "I don't know their project yet, I need to know it first and that's why I can't (yet) say I'm the coach of Madrid," he said.

MADRID: Real Madrid opened the way for Jose Mourinho to take over as coach after they sacked Manuel Pellegrini on Wednesday. Florentino Perez, president of the Spanish giants, said that a need for change had necessitated the dismissal of the Chilean incumbent and the courting of Mourinho from Inter Milan.

"We have dedicated the last few weeks to analysing and reflecting upon the past season. And we have decided to bring to an end Manuel Pellegrini's time at the club," Perez told a press conference here. "We want to thank him and his team for their hard work, professionalism and conduct.

"The board also agreed to contract Jose Mourinho as the new coach of Real Madrid once his contractual relationship with Inter Milan has been resolved."
Mourinho has long been in Real's cross-hairs, none more so than after he guided Inter to a unique treble this season of the Champions League, Italian league and Italian Cup.

Perez added: "It's not been an easy decision to reach but we're 100 percent behind the need for a change. "We're very happy that Jose Mourinho will be the man to take over the reins of Real Madrid for the coming years - he's won everything possible.

"We want to have the best person in every position out on the pitch and in the dug-out - we want to sign one of the best managers in the game." Italian news agency ANSA earlier reported Mourinho as saying that he was heading off on holidays before going "to work in Spain".

"Now I'm on holidays. Then I'll go to work in Spain," Mourinho said, accompanied by his agent Jorge Mendes, after meeting Inter Milan official Rinaldo Ghelfi, who is in charge of finances at the Italian club. "With Inter it's not yet over, but everything is going well and there are no problems," Mourinho later told journalists.

Asked by journalists: "Is it possible that you'll stay at Milan?" Mourinho replied: "It's impossible." According to media reports, the transfer to Real Madrid will only be completed when Inter are certain of recuperating the 16 million euros stipulated in the get-out clause for the coach whose contract runs until June 2012.

Pellegrini, 56, spent just one season with Real after arriving from Villarreal, ultimately paying the price for again finishing behind Barcelona in La Liga and their round-of-16 exit from the Champions League.
