Can't wait til he comes back

He can start beating Barca again like the old days with a real team /troll

Everyone think's he'll go to United but I doubt it............

In two years time he will try to do with City what Fergie did with United.

I think Mou would be happy with any top BPL ckub tbh. He likes Chelsea alot, but 1. AVB is there and 2. Roman and Mou don't get along.

You mean literally?

I wonder if Mourinho will ever be the type to settle down and lay down a legacy as SAF or Wegner have?
(Are there any similar continental managers? :S )

Not as long as those two, them two have a special relationship with their clubs and literally control every aspect of it. Those two cant be fired.

No other coach has that type of responsibility at any other club really.

edit: Just remembered, two guys from the contient who did have long stays were (after researching their names) Guy Roux and Valeriy Lobanovskiy.

Mou could at least do what other coaches have done though, stay for an entire cycle of a team, or 4-5 years or something.

Yeah, we all knew this, its kind of a slap in the face to us how even though he acknowledges us at the best football club in history, he doesnt want to remain here for a long time and make it his permanent hime.

The pressure would eventually crack him....

why a slap in the face? He has done something very important for us but i was never convinced that he would be here for good. Tmo must be crying.

It's what we do after that matters, we can either take a step back or move forward, hopefully it's the latter.

TMO will probably be the Manchester one when Mou goes back to BPL

He has said this many times already, he really likes England. Not sure why, it's way too rainy

He'll be United's next manager IMO.

Marca's favorite to replace him would be Low, they dont waste time, do they?

I can see why Madrid would be after Löw, his lightning quick counterattack tactic would fit in at Madrid like a glove

We have done that already, time for something new, bring back one touch football sexiness to Madrid.

Ronaldo would be sold

Nick I think we can mix it

One touch football + counterattack is my aim...........teams will be spinning with the tempo changes.

It's harder to play a football based on quick movements and quick circulation of the ball, than it is to play counter. You want to find someone that masters that part, the rest is bonus.

The way i interpret this piece of interview is that Mourinho is willing to stay with Madrid for another two seasons, honor his contract until the end with them. He's flirting with the English Media and wouldnt rule out a move to England and he shouldnt.

Besides, I always root for people who are about to write History and Mourinho is one of those men.

Real Madrid will win the CL this season, the next or the one that follows, they will win La Liga once or twice in this span as well; a treble? perhaps, it remains a possibility. What more else can he do at Madrid? Rien.

Two years is along time in football. Infact when people / fans in general talk about the future, i see two years ahead only because of the dynamics of the game. This is why when i look at Kaka (29) and Ozil (24), both of whom can offer another couple of years of their service at their highest potentials, i pick up a world beater, Kaka, because to me, anything beyond two years is just unknown in this business.

My three quarters of a dime.

I know, but still we aren't Inter. He shouldnt be speaking about where he is going next while he has still accomplished very little (in terms of trophies, God only knows how much good he has done our club) at Real Madrid. After we have beaten Barca, won a ton of trophies, and built a great young team with a defined style of football, then he can leave for all I care.

Who to replace him? For a the Lows and the Bielsas being mentioned, I would still prefer Karanka or Zidane, a pure young Madridista who can maybe stay a long time too.

Me too. His haircut is profitable and you can clearly see he uses a much more expensive shampoo than Kaka does.

God bless Florentino Perez.

I can understand the appeal of having a madridista coaching the club, but Karanka or Zidane? havent we been through that phase when we let noobs coaching us and they failed miserably? Karanka wont be the new Guardiola, and Zidane wont be the genius graduate that just finish coaching school and is able to compete with the best of them. No more noobs, we cant afford that. Only Madridista out here i would take are VDB, who will never come back unfortunately, and maybe Benitez.

What is the alternative, getting an older established coach like Bielsa? Mourinho would have moulded the new Real Madrid that can win way into the future, we need someone who can adapt to that style, maybe bring something new to the table, but using our youth products and hopefully enjoying a long period of success. You don’t have to be a Madridista to do that, but probably a younger coach would be better. I mention Karanka because in my opinion he is doing well under Mourinho's leadership. Who knows, maybe we can test him out at Castilla sometime or Mou can let him coach the Copa del Rey in the future. Hopefully, we would be able to afford that because we would have won everything already.

Don’t bring Benitez anywhere near to this club again. We would go back to the old days, maybe even worse.

No thank you, Karanka can go coach zaragoza or something. And yes, we should go after proven coach like Bielsa. What happened to the Low or Klopp of this world, or Van Gaal? Heck, i would pick Emery before Karanka. Coaches with ideas.

Mourinho has no groundbreaking style bar his counter, just an extraordinary man manager.
