JOSE ON HIS WAY
Euro flop has Roman heading for Hiddink EXCLUSIVE
By Paul Smith

CHELSEA are preparing for the sensational departure of Jose Mourinho this summer.

In a bombshell move that will stun Blues followers the champions are lining up Guus Hiddink to replace Mourinho, who is set to join Inter Milan.

Despite Chelsea's pursuit of a Premiership-FA Cup double there has been massive disappointment inside Stamford Bridge over a number of issues.

Their limp performance in the Champions League defeat by Barcelona was a particular setback for Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich.

He has set his sights on making Chelsea Europe's premier club and feels their progress against international opponents has been disappointing. Abramovich has also questioned his club's success in the transfer market.

Some of Mourinho's back-room colleagues have expressed concern about the coach's long-term job security and a parting of the ways seems increasingly likely.

There was also an article in a swedish newspaper (aftonbladet ). It has parts not written in the article above, I'll translate it here:

Bara två möjliga

Han omförhandlar just nu sitt kontrakt med den holländska klubben. PSV Eindhovens president Rob Westerhof sa i går kväll till Sunday Mirror:
- Om Chelsea letar efter en efterträdare till Mourinho är det bara två tränare som är tänkbara - Guus Hiddink eller Fabio Capello. För tillfället har jag inte hört något från Chelseas vd Peter Kenyon, men det räknar jag med att göra.
Enligt Sunday Mirror kommer José Mourinho troligen att gå till italienska Inter.

There are only two possiblities.

Hiddink is currently re-negotiating his contract with the dutch club. PSV Eindhovens president Rob Westerhof said yesterday to Sunday Mirror: "If Chelsea is looking for a replacement for Mourinho, there are only two possible candidates, Guus Hiddink or Fabio Capello. So far I haven't been contacted by Chelseas manager Peter Kenyon, but I expect to." According to Sunday Mirror, Jose Mourinho will probably go to Inter.

Here, I found the other article:



SPECIAL GONE
EXCLUSIVE: CHAMPS PREPARE FOR LIFE AFTER JOSE Mourinho set to leave in summer Blues target Hiddink as his successor
Paul Smith Chief Football Writer

THE Richter Scale for managerial shocks will hit 10 when Jose Mourinho's reign at Chelsea ends.

Not since the day when Kenny Dalglish quit champions Liverpool 15 years ago has there been a split to rival the seismic fall-out from the impending Stamford Bridge divorce.

The Special One, recruited in the summer of 2004 to make Chelsea champions, is about to don his overcoat for the last time and head to Italy to land a £5million-a-year job with Inter Milan.

For some time now the football grapevine has been alive with rumours about clashes occurring behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge.

Sunday Mirror Sport was made aware two months ago that some of Mourinho's closest friends and colleagues believed that instead of being tied to a new long-term contract The Special One would leave after one more season at the Bridge.

Now, in the wake of Chelsea's Champions League defeat against Barcelona that estimate had changed.

A senior member of the Chelsea backroom staff said: "Jose will be out of here this summer."

That view has been confirmed to the Sunday Mirror by a member of Peter Kenyon's administrative staff as well as a leading Premier League figure.

Winning back-to-back Premiership titles may not be enough to satisfy Roman Abramovich's vision for world domination.

And with Mourinho's future in the balance, Chelsea have identified PSV Eindhoven boss - and England candidate - Guus Hiddink as the man to replace him.

PSV president Rob Westerhof understands why Chelsea have now set their sights on his coach.

Westerhof said last night: "If Chelsea are looking for a man to replace Mourinho there are only two coaches suitable. They're Guus Hiddink and Fabio Capello.

"We're pressing Guus to make a decision on his future. We expect his decision next week.

"I have a good relationship with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon. At the moment I've not heard from him and I'd expect to do so.

"But given their situation they wouldn't want to cause unrest when they're chasing the Premiership and FA Cup."

Westerhof is also well aware that by moving to Chelsea Hiddink would again be teaming up with old colleague Frank Arnesen, the Blues' sporting director.

Westerhof added: "You have the situation of Frank being at Chelsea already which might be very convenient for them.

Multilingual Hiddink is renowned as a charming, media firnedly manager and his record singles him out as the ideal man to build on the success Mourinho has enjoyed.

There is no single reason why Mourinho's reign at Chelsea is about to end.

The cocktail includes many ingredients but the Barcelona experience certainly affected owner Roman Abramovich.

Abramovich announced when he took over in July 2003 that he wanted to mirror Real Madrid and make Chelsea the best, most exciting team in the world. He had the available cash to do it, too.

But Mourinho's route to glory meant he deliberately shied away from superstars. He didn't want Galacticos, he wanted players to fit his team pattern.

Chelsea always knew people would criticise the largesse of their Russian owner but they now believe Mourinho's egotistical outbursts threaten to undermine any hope of winning widespread public approval.

Inter are also owned by a multimillionaire, Massimo Moratti. He has lavished money on a succession of coaches, won nothing and now feels Mourinho is the man to change that."

Nooo not to Inter.Bring him to Juve and Cap to Chelsh!t

 

[Bjerknes]

Wow. Absolutely amazing. I cannot say I'm surprised that Abramovich is opting for another manager, because that guy seriously knows nothing about football and the fact that it takes time to build a European powerhouse. Mourinho led Chelsea to two successive Premier League titles with seemingly quite ease, and has lost out in the Champions League under such harsh circumstances last season and futility this season against Barca. I would have to say Jose does not deserve the sack...at all. But its quite fitting that he is indeed fired and make Chelsea look like the ridiculous nouvo-riche club they are.

With the Triade's breakup seemingly inevitable now, Capello will most likely leave this summer to my absolute joy and I could see him take over for Jose at Chelsea. It would make complete sense to me because that club is just dumb enough to employ a big name manager like Capello who doesn't always perform in Europe to alleviate their nonexistent problems in the Champions League. Typical stupidity. Perhaps even more stupidity on the part of Mourinho to accept a job from Massimo Moratti. Whatever the case, I hope this happens and perhaps we even have a chance for Jose in the future if someone knocks some sense into him.

if we get mourinho, i will die happy

 

[flieeeekke]

hiddink stays at psv>capello to chelsea>mourinho to juve.

if he opts for inter, hell, spaletti or prandelli would do i guess. but scudetto would be for inter to take.

 

[tassard]

PLZ NO!!!Not to Inter!!!!
We must take him

 

[WΏΏdy?]

easy......jos won't do wonders at juve and i think u r more worried abt inter kicking our ass than jos comming to us...

i say we should be satisfied to have the coaches half jos's price

 

[Daddi]

I want Mourinho he is so funny and a good coach

 

[loyada]

moratti tried everything maybe a ticket moggi-mourinho will give the scudetto to him.
but the chance is nearer to 0% than 1%

 

[peckface]

I don't want him, Juventus is not for monkeys, we are a gentlemans club.

Plus the only teams I can see Mourinho in is Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid.

 

[Maher]

if mourinho come to juve , juve will be the most hated club in the world

 

[giovanotti]

First of all,Abramovich must be sooooo stupid to oust Mourinho from the team(the man wich led his team into 2 half finals of the C.L. and won 1.national title,and he will get another one this year).That story reminds me of real madrid and Del Bosque.
I doubt that Abramovich is soooo stupid to do this kind of mistake...

And I prefer an Italian coach at Juve.

 

[Elvin]

if mourinho come to juve , juve will be the most hated club in the world

you said it bro, exactly... I prefer to talk about coahes at the end of season, if we don't win CL, fuck Cap, bring Jos

 

[Tom]

if mourinho come to juve , juve will be the most hated club in the world
