José Mourinho thread - TalkSoccer

**Jager** · 20-09-2007, 07:07 PM

There are already unconfirmed reports in Italy, that Jose could be on his way to Milano.

I for one am neutral. I supported the resigning of Mancini, but the game last night was really a pisser with how they played and such.

very interesting.

mourinho --> inter.
mancini --> barca.
rijkaard --> chelsea.
great...

I heard the swap coaches with Chelsea for awhile. We just signed a long contract with Mancini, and its very lucrative, but its not like clubs have made stupid decisions before.

**jec1** · 20-09-2007, 07:17 PM

Could be a possibility?

There are rumors that he might head the london olympic commitee, but I doubt it!

Portuguese coaches are globetrotters, they love to coach for big teams,So I won't be surprised if he goes to italy, they would love him.

He stated not long ago that he would eventually end up in Italy at one point or another.

I personally not change a coach midseason, but a guy like Jose doesn't come around every day.

He would install disipline, I'm just not sure I would like his football compared to Mancini. However Mancini of late is not playing football that I would consider attractive.

Can't get much worse than Mancini, but I don't like the attention that Mourinho carries around.

**Jager** · 20-09-2007, 08:49 PM

Jose would have a different outlook on things, and I'm not sure he would be the ideal candidate. But I wish the old Mancini would come back. The Mancini of late has become a Capello clone..IMHO. Power football in the middle, with no creativity.

Jose would make Adraino a player again.

Yeah, he'd sell him.

If Mourinho does come to Italy it will be to Inter, make no mistake about that.

I'm really curious as to what he would do as coach.

Mind you, he didn't like Crespo, so I'm worried.

And how about Zlatan?

I've always maintained that turning Zlatan into a great player is MUCH more important than winning right now, as a great Zlatan will garner us success in the future.

**D-Kin** · 21-09-2007, 01:07 AM

I don't think he didn't like Crespo, I just believe he wanted to be back in Italy.

That and his injuries.

**Jager** · 21-09-2007, 01:08 AM

Good point Joel.

I just hope that JM takes the national side job...but I don't see him as a national side coach.

He will be coaching an Italian side.

**D-Kin** · 21-09-2007, 01:11 AM

Exactly, and as far as I'm concerned it's Inter or nothing.

Mancini will most likely be gone at the end of the season if he doesn't win the Scudetto or the CL.

**Jager** · 21-09-2007, 01:15 AM

Then Moratti should contact him, and lay the groundwork.

As for Mancini, I think it depends on how the team plays and if its improving.

One could argue, that after Xmas, Inter was playing the best football in a long time. But then they peetered out, after they clinched, and things went down hill fast.

We have to see how they play and respond to new challenges. Whose to say that we get our players back, and we start to rock again?

**D-Kin** · 21-09-2007, 01:17 AM

You will, I mean you're still favourites for the league.

That's why Mancini needs to win or else he's out.
