Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has backed the club's decision to appoint Xabi Alonso instead of pursuing a sensational return for Jose Mourinho. Despite Alonso's recent struggles in La Liga, Poyet believes the Spaniard's modern tactical approach and a lack of European football at Stamford Bridge will create the perfect environment for him to build a new identity.
According to consistent media reports, Jose Mourinho is set to take the helm at Real Madrid once again. However, his appointment is set to cost the club a fortune.
Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement to return to Real Madrid on a three-year contract, but the move has been complicated by a significant financial development. While 'the Special One' is set for a sensational second stint at the Bernabeu, the timing of the deal has seen his release clause more than double.
Jose Mourinho is widely expected to be the next man in the Real Madrid dugout, but fans at the Bernabeu are still waiting for the official confirmation of his return. While a verbal agreement is reportedly in place, several institutional and financial hurdles have pushed the announcement back for the Special One's return.
It has been known since March that Raphael Guerreiro will leave FC Bayern at the end of the season, yet the move could have serious consequences for the Portuguese full-back.
Marash Kumbulla has opened up on his time working under Jose Mourinho at Roma, revealing the defensive “smart” tricks he learned from the Portuguese coach. The defender also explained how Mourinho’s mood changed dramatically after defeats, while recalling the support he received during a serious injury lay-off.
