Sports Bet News: Real Madrid Manager Jose Mourinho Ponders on Future Return to Premier League, Says He Wants to Face Man Utd’s Sir Alex Ferguson

THE LATEST SPORTS BET UPDATE – Jose Mourinho, the outspoken manager of La Liga champions Real Madrid, said that he would not wait for Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to step down if he pushes through with returning to the Premier League.

Mourinho, who led Chelsea that played past through rival sides to win two league titles, did not hide his intention to make a comeback to the top English club league. Such has attracted attention from his former club and its rivals United and Manchester City.

United has included Mourinho in their shortlist of possible replacements for Ferguson. The 70-year old manager has managed the club for most of its Premier League history and led it to 12 league titles.

With old age now looking inevitable for Ferguson, speculations that he may leave United the following season are now widespread. Such will provide an opportunity for Mourinho to settle in at United, with his reputation as “The Special One” seen as an approach effective for maintaining the English club’s title-winning image.

Despite the apparent opportunity, Mourinho said that he opts to face Ferguson in the Premier League instead – a message that seem like a denial of a possible future stint with United. He noted that he regards the United manager highly and that he considers him an icon of the game.Calling Ferguson the “boss of the coaches”, Mourinho expressed his desire to meet again him as manager of United if he makes his move back to England. He downplayed an immediate transfer to Premier League, as he plans to complete his four-year contract he has with Real Madrid.

When asked about a possible move to Manchester City, Mourinho declined to give any comments. He assured that he is happy with managing Real Madrid, which he calls “the best club in the world”.
