Football Betting: Mourinho will be the next Chelsea Manager?
The Special One will be well welcomed by Chelsea fans but he is too smart to ignore that you can't step in the same job twice and it is more likely that he will be willing to wait for another Premier League job.

It is not a secret that Chelsea fans will be keen to have Jose' Mourinho back in the next season but why the Portuguese manager should make a sensational return to Stamford Bridge?
He is 1.62 to leave Real Madrid where apparently he feels under-appreciated by the club. But people who say that The Special One will return to Chelsea have forgotten that Mourinho left the blues in acrimonious circumstances in 2007? It is true that they have subsequently patched things up with the Russian that sent Mourinho a Ferrari but getting on with someone it is not the same as working for them.
Harry Redknapp for example managed Portsmouth from 2002 winning the Championship (or Division One as it was called at the time) and keeping them in the Premier League the next season. As we now know from the court case, Harry and Milan Mandaric were good friends but relations soured after sometime and Redknapp resigned in 2004. After a bad experience at Southampton, he eventually returned to Portsmouth in 2005 winning the FA Cup in 2008 and saving Pompey from relegation.
So Redknapp is one manager who were successful with the same club twice. Things didn't go in the same way for Kenny Dalglish that even if he has managed to win the Carling Cup couldn't really change things for Liverpool in the title race and the end result is that they are seventh in the table and you can bet a 7.4 that they will get a top four finish. Dalglish has invested heavily in the transfer market, with a number of costly yet unconvincing signings. He also looked foolish during the Suarez's suspension for racially abusing Patrice Evra. Another example of miserable return has been Kevin Keegan: his reign at Newcastle in 2008 was a complete disaster.
Mourinho loves Chelsea and Chelsea fans love Mourinho. For this reason the Portuguese may have been thinking about a return to Stamford Bridge, yet we don't think this will happen. It is much more likely that he will return to the Premier League tough: with Redknapp that is set to get the England job, there is a good opening at Tottenham. He likes London and the challenge of helping Spurs to win the first title in over 50 yeas would be a great motivation for him. After all Mourinho did great things with Madrid and Chelsea but his greatest achievements have come in the Champions League with unfancied teams like Porto and Inter Milan.
Another option is that he will be the next Manchester United Manager. Bookmakers have opened a market on this and Mourinho is at 4.4 and has been favourite for long time. It actually make sense as the Portuguese manager will also be able to bring back Cristiano Ronaldo and build a team that can dominate in Europe for the next decade. A good use of your Free Bets is to back this outcome and you could make a good profit in the long run.
