Jose
Mourinho will be appointed the new Manchester United manager according the
information from BBC News. It
is believed a deal with the 53-year-old Portuguese was agreed in principle
before United's FA Cup final win against Crystal Palace on Saturday. 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.
Mourinho has
been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in December. The club plan to
announce his arrival early next week after telling Van Gaal, 64, 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.
