As was predictable, Mourinho wants to keep managing this team. Why? Because they are all young and he knows he can keep having sucess with them for many years. Plus, I'm pretty sure he's waiting for Ferguson to retire so he can go to Man Utd.

well that was unexpected..

or mendes just negotiated a new contract because he can, to give both himself and mourinho bigger compensation

Best news I've heard in a while

But rumors were that he signed last March and it's just being announced now. Since that's when all the news about his contract resigning came out.

Very very happy hope he stays forever

Well at least he's not going to Man U any time soon......

I still think he'll leave as soon as he's won everything and Man Utd/Man City/whoever call him.

I doubt he'll stay till 2016, especially if he wins RM the CL in the next 2 years. I think he'll be managing United by the time 2014/15 season starts.

Agree with the two people above me once Mou gets that CL he's gone

Barca fans :vagi:

Thats not good. I was looking forward to see Madrid collapse after he went away. I guess Madrid will stay around for a while. Dont mind though,its nice to compete against such clubs & Mourinho bar tactically is a very good coach

Still hanging on to that myth? The Chelsea team he built has gone on to win the league, Champions league, FA Cups after he left, Madrid with it's young bunch of talented players would surely not collapse if Mourinho leaves.

Only good things can come out of it.

We will see. I dont rate any of these guys bar OZIL,Benzema & Higuain & both ST's will probably never play together anyway.

The only true exceptional talent I see is Ozil,but that is exclusively my opinion. I have not seen Varane. Ohh & Sahin barely plays,so..

BS because he had decided to continue two months ago.

I think it's a very good thing he is extending. He has initiated a lot of changes in Madrid and it would be nice if he sees those changes through. Continuity does matter, so if we can keep him for the nest 2-3 seasons, then it's a very good thing.

The Mou finally settling down?

Replace 2014 with 2016 but still true. Nick adapts fast

On topic, I'm happy. He'll restructure the club into modern days

lol babs, +rep

I do genuinely think it's a good thing tho

I made the argument long ago. Mou isn't someone who goes away as soon he wins something if the conditions are right, it's a silly rumor.

He left Porto for Chelski because EPL was the best league in the world. At Chelsea, he assembled a very young, competitive squad. He never left them, Abramovitch fired him. At Inter, he had old declining players but still won the treble to put himself on the managerial map again. We signed him. The squad is young, competitive and complete, he's got the reigns over transfers. He'd be really stupid to leave and he isn't.

The second myth, the teams he leaves struggle... Yeah, like Chelsea? They were strong all the way. It wasn't Mou's fault that Inter players were over the hill.

Last point, I read from people with illusions he'd go to Man City or Manu. Why would he? What would he get there which he wouldn't get at Madrid?

Better economics (Manu), more talented squad ( City), better world wide exposure ( Real Madrid) and he is in full control of the club. So why would he leave to EPL? Wishful thinking of EPL fans who miss him if you ask me. They clutch at straws like... :lol!:

this doesnt make sense for the reason nick stated- also his contract was up in 2014, its not like his contract was about to run out with us.. even if he had a place to go he would have to force his way out, now hes pretty set on staying 2-3 years

which i find very surprising- i didnt think he would renew his contract.

Great news.

Renewing Mourinho is like winning a trophy :vagi:

I don't mind, Allegri is going teach him football tactics in next year's final either way

really good news albeit a bit unexpected but in a good sort of way

Fantastic news.

I hope he stays until at least 2016.
