FOOTBALL-Fearful of offers from other clubs, Manchester United Board has offered star football manager Jose Mourinho a five year contract worth £65million. Currently the Portuguese manager has a three year deal with Man U.
The offer comes as Man U is showing all signs of clinching the premier league title for this season.
Mourinho currently earns £250,000 a week, the highest salary of any football manager in the world. Only Man City manager Pep Guardiola enjoys the same wages.
If Mourinho takes up the offer, it will be the longest time he has ever spent at a club. SO far indications are that he may take up the offer. Alan Grey, a sports pundit in Manchester says “after he was sacked by Chelsea, Mourinho went through a lot of reflection. Not many clubs wanted him, yet he could be the best in the world. At Manchester, he has the opportunity of fitting the shoes of Sir Alex Ferguson, redeeming his image and proving a point.|
This weekend, Jose Mourinho will lead his side to Liverpool, a venue that he is all too familiar with.
In the new contract offered by Man U, Mourinho will remain with his current salary with occasional improvements. But if he wins trophies and appears at certain stages at different points of different championships, he would earn more.
