Jose Mourinho is ready to shock European football with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain as he prepares to quit Real Madrid this summer, writes the Sunday People.
And that will keep alive his dream of managing Manchester United once Sir Alex Ferguson finally steps aside at Old Trafford.
Speculation is growing that the Special One is heading to Paris to replace former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.
PSG’s Qatari owners want to take the French club to the next level and win the European Cup – and Mourinho’s record in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain makes him their No.1 target.
That will disappoint the Blues and Manchester City fans hoping Mourinho’s recent hints that he wants to return to the Premier League meant he was heading back.
But Mourinho has an eye on PSG and believes a stint in France may be the ideal staging post before the chance to manage United materialises.
Ferguson has told close friends he has no intention of quitting anytime soon as long as his health stays strong.
That means at least two more years at Old Trafford, giving Mourinho time to enhance his stunning CV.
Mourinho knows if he goes to City it will blow his chances of ever managing United.
And many believe hooking up again with Roman Abramovich at Chelsea would be an accident waiting to happen.
Paris would seem an ideal port of call if the 50-year-old Portuguese coach leaves Madrid, especially as his daughter Matilde is due to study in London later this year – just a short hop on the Eurostar.
