So Mourinho will be managing Real Madrid ??
He refuses to answer the question if he'll stay or not.... Deep down inside he wants to stay but if Inter win everything then where is the challenge ?? He has succeeded to make Inter a European Contender..
I fear losing him.... We cannot replace him
As much as Jose is passionate about coaching, he is also smart. He knows that his style of coaching and play is not suited for a team like Real Madrid, who fired Fabio Capello after winning the La Liga. RM wants to play flamboyant football, which is not something that you would associate with JM...JM can play attacking football, but not flamboyant, since his whole philosophy of football is based on a ROCK SOLID DEFENCE, as has been seen during his time at Chelsea and now at Inter. I dont think that its a mere coincidence that at Stamford Bridge, Petr Cech was regarded as the best goalkeeper and the Chelsea defence were almost impenetrable. Remember the 1000 mins clean sheet at home record. Now ith Inter, he has done the same with JC as the goalkeeper, who is now arguably the best goalkeeper, and our combination of Luio and Samuel is considered the most solid pairing in front of the goal.
Also, JM is smart enough to realise that the Real Madrid management is cynical and he will not have much say as far as the transfers and dealings are concerned, something that happened during his last seasons at Chelsea ( a la Scheva and Ballack). I highly doubt he will want to be caught in such a situation any time soon.
There is no other club in Spain that is big enough for him. Now coming to EPL, Ferguson is continuing at ManU atleast for a season, Wenger is continuing at Arsenal and Mou is unlikely to return to Chelsea in the near future. The other options where there maybe possible openings are, Liverpool and ManCity. Liverpool have the legacy but the current owners are useless (read no money and vision). ManCity seems like a good choice, but he already turned them down earlier, hence Mancini was selected. Also, it is next to impossible that JM will manage a team that is not competing for the Champions League, so we wont know who is representing EPL at UCL with the current close race.
Also, it is no secret that JM dreams of managing ManU after Ferguson, and it is unlikely that he will return to EPL to coach another team as bridge for year or two, before contending for the ManU position, especially considering his frictional style of managing, riling up opposition managers, players and fans. This would only serve to reduce his chances of managing ManU.
Also, he is not going to leave Inter to manage another club in Italy, unless he decides to take the vows of Papacy and moves to Rome..lolz
So, the net sum of this whole discussion is that although JM may want to leave us if we win the treble this year, there are not many clubs which suit his profile or style of managing at the moment.
