José är klar!
Silly seasons sämst bevarade hemlighet är nu officiellt en sanning. José Mourinho tar över som ny manager för Manchester United.
Hela våren har spekulationerna gått varm om van Gaals vara eller icke vara i klubben. I samma mening har det sedan varit tydligt att Mourinho varit den självklara ersättaren ifall holländaren skulle få sparken. Under torsdagen basunerade Sky ut att kontraktet var påskrivet och under fredagen kom också ett officiellt uttalande från klubben.
Mourinho behöver ingen direkt presentation, Ed Woodward säger dock följande till officiella hemsidan:
"José is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here."
"I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward."
Mourinho själv säger:
"To become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game. It is a club known and admired throughout the world. There is a mystique and a romance about it which no other club can match.
"I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans. I’m looking forward to being their manager and enjoying their magnificent support in the coming years."?
En ny era tar helt klart sin form på Old Trafford. Och en redan på förhand ryktesfylld sommar lär inte bli lugnare.
