Inter or Real Madrid, says Mourinho
Inter Milan coach
Jose Mourinho will either be sitting in the dugout at the San Siro or
Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium next season, the Portuguese coach said
on Wednesday.
“My only options
are Madrid or Inter,” he said in an interview with sports daily Marca,
when asked if he would leave the Italian champions at the end of the
season.
“To get me to leave
this club after two years of incredible work, only Real Madrid could
achieve that. If I go, I will move with a clear conscience having
changed the club.”
Mourinho is on the
brink of a winning an unprecedented treble of trophies for an Italian
side. With the Italian Cup and Serie A titles in the bag, he leads
Inter into the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on
Saturday, at Real’s Bernabeu stadium.
When Mourinho was
asked if he would be coaching Real next year, he replied: “I don’t
know; all I say is that if you are a coach or a great player to not
play in a club like Madrid, leaves a hole in your career. I want to
coach Real 100 percent. If it is next year or later,I can’t say.”
The future of Real
coach, Manuel Pellegrini, is uncertain after he finished the season
without a trophy on Sunday, when they ended up second in La Liga behind
arch-rivals Barcelona.Real director
general, Jorge Valdano, has said the club would sit down and discuss
whether the Chilean would complete the second year of his contract in
the coming days.
