watch his interview, he makes it clear he wants to stay for longer. He's won the grand slam as he called it (trophies in England, Italy and Spain). Provided there are no fall outs I can see him here for a while before managing Portugal.
Maybe, but I got my money on either Monaco or PSG being his next destination. Never won a French title, and neither club has won the EC/CL. Also with Jorge Mendes (Jose's agent) already getting his claws into Monaco, there is a link there.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/03/jesus-navas-manchester-city-signs-17m Super transfer from City. Navas is an excellent player and he is the sort of player they need. I can only see City with the excellent Pellegrini in charge stopping Chelsea from winning the title next season.
Yep, I think he is already having an influence with the likes of Navas close to joining City. They massively ****ed up last summer buy buying dross like Sinclair,Maicon and co, and they need to spend big to repair that this summer.
Navas is a brilliant little player. But does he not still suffer from the same anxiety issues that plagued him before?
Apparently, after working with the Spanish national team, he has been able to get over his home sickness, but clearly moving to a new country is a different story. That's the only thing that could stop him from being a success in England.
Jose's gunna fark off in 2 years blah blah blah... Obviously we'll see down the line how is pans out but I do think that he'll be here a long time. Even if we didn't beat you, we didn't lose! And you haven't beaten us with Jose as our manager! Ah no problem mate
Well, I think next season is gonna be a cracker anyway. I wouldn't mind if Arsenal and Chelsea were fighting it out for the league, I just don't think we are title contenders with the current squad and can't see any indication of who Wenger will buy. If I'm honest, I think next season could see Man U, City and Chelsea battling it out for the league. I hope I am wrong and we are included in that bunch.
It will be interesting how Mourinho works with Chelsea this year. He has a reputation for building teams that are fairly solid defensively and keeping the game very tight. At Chelsea he has a team of light fast skillful players, and not much defensive muscle.
He didn't at Porto and of course a lot of his success came with the quality he has had to work with, you win things by being better than everyone else.
By quality, I meant inherited quality, an inherited team from Claudio Ranieri and an inherited team from Pellegrini. Must be hard being the coach of a super team.
So you don't rate him that highly because he has earned the right to manage the best teams in the world?
Lets not forget at Inter he had a net positive return on transfers and he revolutionised a team that was a good team to the best in europe in 2 years. Same way as City has proven that spending a ****load of money in a short space of time is no guarantee of winning whereas Mourinho changed Chelsea in a time when both UTD and Arsenal were far more competition than they are today. A legacy that lasted for years after he left. His only relative failure was not pushing on with Real after winning the league - but hell on more than one occasion they fire managers after winning either the league or CL. Yes he has worked with big clubs and big budgets but people see that as a reason to dismiss him and ignore the change and success he brings to teams. No manager in the world models/changes a team to his style and character as well and as quickly as he does. Wenger took a few years to make his arsenal the culmination being the Invincibles or the 01/02 or Ferguson who took 4-5 years to get UTD winning. He is one of the best coaches in the world, period!
I'll admit he was successful at Inter to be fair. The team had to work with was bang average when he started and he made them into Euro Champs.
Can't argue with the guys ability as a manager, just wish he'd behave like an adult instead of an attention seeking 8 year old...
