Real Madrid turn to Jose Mourinho after not-so-special Champions League exit seals Manuel Pelligrini's fate
Wanted: Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho
Real Madrid are expected to make a move for Jose Mourinho after their humiliating Champions League exit by Lyon.
Manuel Pelligrini, the Real coach, has said he will not resign but he does not enjoy the confidence of president Florentino Perez, who invested £200 million on new 'galacticos' last summer, or sporting director Jorge Valdano.
Pelligrini was called 'a coward' by the underachieving Kaka after the Lyon knockout and the Chilean's days at the Bernabeu are numbered.
Mourinho's relationship with Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has deteriorated in recent months and while the Nerazzurri are set to retain their Serie A crown and lead Chelsea 2-1 in the Champions League few would be surprised if the Portuguese left San Siro this summer.
Sources close to Mourinho claim he is already planning his exit and while Manchester City remain an option, Real are expected to make the first move for the former Chelsea manager.
Perez is angry that a team including Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karem Benzema, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Lassana Diarra once again failed in the Champions League, especially as the final in May will be played at the Bernabeu stadium.
Pelligrini may not even survive until the end of the season but Real want Mourinho while Inter have earmarked Bordeaux's Laurent Blanc as the Special One's successor in Milan.
