Manchester United is set to announce Jose Mourinho as their new Manager Details shortly Manchester United will appoint Jose Mourinho as their new manager, BBC Sport understands. Mourinho has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in December. With United failing to qualify for the Champions League under Louis van Gaal, the Old Trafford hierarchy is thought to have decided a change is required. It is understood a deal with 53-year-old Mourinho was agreed in principle before Saturday's FA Cup final victory against Crystal Palace. Live reaction to Mourinho's appointment Man Utd beat Palace to win FA Cup The club plan to announce his arrival early next week after telling Van Gaal his reign has come to an end. The Dutchman still has one season remaining on his three-year deal, but despite spending £250m on new players, his tenure has disappointed many fans, the club finishing fourth and then fifth in the Premier League. Van Gaal's grip on his job has seemed increasingly fragile this season, with Mourinho known to covet the task of masterminding a revival at United three years after legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down. Mourinho is one of the game's most successful coaches, winning three league titles in his two spells at Stamford Bridge, as well as guiding Porto and Inter Milan to Champions League victories in 2004 and 2010 respectively. Jose Mourinho: How it went wrong at Chelsea He also led Real Madrid to the Spanish La Liga title in 2012, and his arrival will mean a mouthwatering resumption of his rivalry with former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard will take over at United's arch-rivals Manchester City this summer. Having sacked previous manager David Moyes just 10 months after he succeeded Ferguson, United's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward was desperate for Van Gaal to see out his contract. Some senior figures at United were also known to have serious reservations about the prospect of the controversial Mourinho, with some preferring Ryan Giggs as an alternative. The Welshman, who made a record 963 appearances for the club, took over as manager on an interim basis in April 2014 following the sacking of Moyes, and was understood to be keen on the job. In February however, BBC Sport revealed that United had held talks with Mourinho's representatives. More to follow. http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/36351371

ManU doesn't need this chatterbox who beats
his chest all the time.
His bland style of football is an anathema to the
football philosophy of Manchester United.
He seems to be aching for the job to prove to
his previous employers that they were wrong in
their decision to axe him. We don't need such a
man who is propelled by a subtle " vengeance".
This will make him shove aside the promising
talents that were unearthed in the just concluded
season.
If Van Gaal leaves, his successor must be a
coach who aligns with ManU football traditions.
Mourinho is a good coach no doubt, but he isn't
the best for ManU. |
