Jose Mourinho insists his next move after leaving Real Madrid will be to return to the Premier League.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21431345
Assuming he does comeback to the Premier League, who do you think he will manage?
Only two bookies have odds up as i type, Bet365 & Stan James.
Here are the best prices..
Man City 9/4
Chelsea 7/2
Man Utd 5/1
Arsenal 14/1
Liverpool 25/1
Spurs 25/1
Personally i think he will go to Utd and have done for some time.
Man City - I know City are favourites and Mancini is the bookies favourite for next to leave but the only attraction i see for him to go there would be a wage beyond belief and an open cheque book on spending as things stand. But without knowing the full ins and outs of these new financial regulations i'd have to say without the open cheque book i really dont see him going there.
Chelsea - It's obvious that Rafa is only there short term (aren't all Chelsea managers) but could he really work for Abramovich again? I'm not so sure. I know he enjoyed his time there before and he'd probably prefer London but my gut feeling is he wont go back for a second stint and besides they've won the CL without him.
Man Utd - It will be impossible to replace Fergie, impossible, but if you're looking for someone to keep the trophies coming then Mourhino would be next best. He's become used to managing teams that play in the biggest stadiums in the world now and there's no bigger than OT in the prem. I also get the feeling that he would be Fergies choice to replace him.
Hmm. I think the 5/1 is very generous.asked if he would replace Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, Mourinho said: "I don't believe so. I think we have to end our career at the same time. [Ferguson] at 90 and me at 70."
Arsenal - I'm not going to rule them out you know! I'd make them 2nd favourites! They have the stadium, 60,000 fans every week and they might just appeal to him having not won anything for years. A London club who might possibly have shrewd owners in Kroenke and Usmanov?
Liverpool - Oh how i'd love him there. Not going to happen though.
Spurs - Should be 250-1 not 25/1, really cant see Levy landing him no matter what.
That's my opinion then, what's yours? If you had a free bet on the market who would you put it on?
