I know we've got the World Cup just around the corner, but who is now dying for the new Liga season to fire up? Jose Mourinho is all set to take over the hotseat at Real Madrid with a juicy three year contract on the table allowing the 'special one' to rake in a cool €10million a year. Never a man to pussyfoot around an issue, 'Mou' (as he is affectionately known in these parts) confirmed his departure from Italy with a parting shot at the treatment received during his two year tenure in Milan. 'I'm leaving Inter. I'm fed up of Italy'. And what a way to go, sealing Inter Milans first European Cup/Champions League since 1965 when they sneaked past Benfica 1-0 at the San Siro, thanks to two goals from ex-Real Zaragoza man Diego Milito.How apt that he should do so in the Santiago Bernabeu. By all accounts Mourinho just needs to be convinced about the project on offer under Florentino Perez but if he likes what he sees, it's a done deal. Can you imagine the fireworks next season? Mourinhos Madrid v Guardiolas Barca. A journalists dream. Although it will only serve to widen an already gaping gap between the big two and the rest. But why should Real Madrid care about that? Mourinho will offer the club exactly what they lacked. A focus point or shield for the players from the press. The Portuguese coach is a master in the art of creating controversy to lift any pressure off his team. Who was talking about Diego Milito, Eto'o or Sneijder before tonights final? No-one. We were all talking about José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho.
