Mourinho to sign 4-year deal at Real
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 05 - 2010

Jose Mourinho, fresh from guiding Inter Milan to Champions League glory, will sign a four-year deal with Real Madrid worth 10 million euros a year, Spanish newspapers reported Sunday.
AS claimed the Portuguese coach had come to an agreement with Real President Florentino Perez Friday, the day before Mourinho's Inter Milan side beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the Champions League final in Madrid.
Marca, which headlined “Real Madrid recruits a champion”, said the new coach of the Spanish giants would be unveiled either Tuesday or Wednesday.
The two sports dailies concurred that the length of the contract would be four years, with the former Chelsea coach netting 10 million euros a season.
Some Inter players could also follow Mourinho to Madrid, according to the papers, notably Brazilian right-back Maicon and Argentinian striker Diego Milito, the former Zaragoza player who scored a brace against Bayern Saturday.
Mourinho, who also guided Porto to European glory in 2004, follows Ernst Happel and Ottmar Hitzfeld as a member of the select band of coaches to have won the Champions League with two different clubs.
The Portuguese, who joined Inter two years ago, has also won two Serie A titles and an Italian Cup. And speaking after the Champions League final, he acknowledged to having his eye on making history and confirmed that he would meet Perez Monday.
“I want to be the only coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs,” he said. “It's more likely that I will leave rather than stay.
“Only Real are interested in me but I haven't spoken with anyone and I haven't signed anything,” said the Portuguese coach, who has delivered Inter's first European title since 1965.
“When I win I don't stop and in Italy I have won everything. I've won the Champions League with two clubs and I can do it with three. There are many things (in Italy) that I haven't liked and for three to four months I've been thinking of going.”
Ribery staying at Bayern
French playmaker Franck Ribery has signed an extension to his Bayern Munich contract until 2015, the losing Champions League finalist said Sunday.
“We're delighted we've reached agreement on a contract extension with one of the world's best players,” Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the Bundesliga club's website.
Bayern said the new deal was signed with the 27-year-old before it lost 2-0 in the Champions League final to Inter Milan in Madrid Saturday.
Ribery missed the match due to suspension after being sent off in the first leg of their semi-final against French side Olympique Lyon.
“My family and I are delighted that we're staying in Munich. The club has become a big family for me,” Ribery said.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United had reportedly shown interest in the player, who is expected to have a big role for France at the June 11-July 11 World Cup in South Africa.
