One of the most colorful and fascinating personalities in the soccer world is Jose Mourinho, known to some as an incredibly gifted coach and to others as a power-hungry egomaniac.
Mourinho has a long list of past accomplishments to testify for his talents. In 2004, he led FC Porto, a club often overlooked and with very little success on the international stage, to win the European Champions League. He later moved on to Chelsea, with which he won two Premier League titles and several championships. His most recent accomplishments came during his stay with Internazionale, when he won the league, the cup, and the Champions League all in one season.
Now Mourinho is currently leading the players at Real Madrid, where he faces the task of rebuilding a broken team and toppling the current champions Barcelona. Mourinho's craving for success and power is well-known, and even before he has accomplished this task, he has already hinted at his next career move.
On his short trip to London, he recently announced "I miss England and my next job will be in England," Mourinho declares. "There is unfinished business. And I think England wants me back, no?" When asked about Real Madrid, he speaks about his current club almost in the past tense.
Many possibilities await him in England. He could choose to reunite with Chelsea or take over rising clubs such as Spurs or Manchester City. Whatever he chooses, it's certainly true that "England certainly wants more of his charisma, the adoration he inspires in players, and the newspapers he sells."
Jose Mourinho is an amazing coach and the things he has accomplished seem impossible and not many people can be as successful as Jose has been. I agree with his decision to move to England because Real Madrid doesn't seem to have a bright future regardless of their numerous well paid athletes. I'm excited to see him move to England and have a chance to shine once more as a great coach.
