TVC E. Jose Mourinho will be named as Manchester United Manager on Thursday May the 25th after negotiating a £10m-a-year, three-year contract with the former Chelsea manager Jorge mendes.
Following two days of talks between United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and Jose Mourinho’s advisor, Jorge Mendes, the 53-year-old will be officially announced as Old Trafford’s third manager in three years on Thursday following the dismissal of Louis van Gaal in the wake of the club’s FA Cup success at the weekend.
Louis van Gaal’s time at Manchester United is over after the Dutchman was sacked after two underwhelming years at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho will also earn double the £5m-a-year salary paid to Van Gaal after being handed the challenge of restoring United to the summit of English and European football.
The Dutchman arrived at Old Trafford on Monday May the 23rd morning, where he discussed the situation with Ed Woodward and his departure was confirmed.
The former Porto, Real Madrid and Inter Milan coach, whose second spell in charge at Chelsea ended with him being sacked last December, will also secure bonuses of £5m and £2.5m respectively if he guides United to the Champions League and Premier League titles during the length of his contract.
This longest of long-running sagas looks set to finally to come to a close in the coming days after months and months of speculation.
