We all know that Jose Mourinho wants to come back to the Premiership when he is finished in Spain. But reports have emerged that this may happen sooner rather than later, with a possibility that ‘The Special One’ will quit Real Madrid at the end of this season.
Only 1 year into his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, Jose would leave the European giants over a row with Sporting Director Jorge Valdano and their differing transfer policies. And he has dropped a hint that this could happen soon, with his striker crisis not looking like getting resolved quickly.
It was reported that after Gonzalo Higuain’s injury woes, Mourinho wanted to buy another striker. Higuain was Jose’s main man in a mouth-watering 4-2-3-1 formation. And after failed attempts to buy Hugo Almeida from Werder Bremen, Emmanuel Adebayor from Man City and even after trying to tempt Ruud Van Nistelrooy back to Madrid from Hamburg, Mourinho was found wanting a target man.
Now the plot has thickened as Jose substituted Karim Benzema whilst Real were drawing with Almeria, and received public criticism from his Sporting Director as a result. Valdano, a powerful man at Madrid, it seems didn’t back Jose when it mattered but has come out and rubbished his tactics in front of the Spanish media.
Jose responded by saying (among many other things, most of them to cryptic to work out) “I make my choices and if I have questions, I ask for advice from my staff.”
Jose does love the Kop, so watch this space.

let utd have him, we’ll stick with Robby Manc thank you very much
Mourinho has already made it clear in the media that he would consider any Premiership team except Liverpool. He has always said that the Chelsea team is his team, and has gone out of his way to maintain a good relationship with Abramovich even after he being fired by him (quite something for a man with Jose’s ego). Who can forget him being allowed to sit in Roman’s private box at Stanfordbridge last year. Things between Chelsea and Jose are far from over. Chelsea will always be his first choice.
