JOSE MOURINHO NEW REAL MADRID MANAGER - Florentino pays €8 mill to Inter

Today it was confirmed that Jose Mourinho will be the new Real Madrid manager next season as Florentino Perez finally reached an agreement with Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti. Inter Milan had been holding out for 16 big ones, but with Florentino flying out to Milan to sort the deal out personally, it appears they agreed upon meeting halfway. Mourinho will be presented to the fans on Monday at 1pm, and whilst Real Madrid want to hold a Cristiano-style media fanfare in the Bernabeu, 'Mou' is understood to want a quieter entrance. He has a four year contract at €10 million a year, but as his time at Inter proved, if Madrid manage to win their tenth Champions League before, he will be on his bike to his spiritual home in England. The only shame I see in this whole affair is that it has unfairly taken all the limelight from Inter during their finest hour. They've achieved the triple and all the footballing world been talking about is Jose Mourinho. The guy is proper box office.


So it's official. We will have the Mourinho-Guardiola battle we all longed for. Next season will be brutal!
