Mourinho prolongs Real reign
REAL Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has ended speculation about a sensational return to Chelsea by signing a new four-year contract.
Mourinho, 49, broke Barcelona’s dominance of the Spanish league this year, winning the title in his second season in charge at the Bernabeu.
The first manager to win league championships in Spain, Italy, England and Portugal, he is said to have rebuffed soundings from Chelsea about returning to London.
The newly-crowned kings of Europe are mulling whether to offer interim coach Roberto di Matteo a permanent deal or attempt to lure a more high-profile candidate.
Mourinho won two Premier Leagues, including their first top flight title for 50 years, one FA Cup and two League Cups before leaving Chelsea in 2007. He has also managed Porto and Inter Milan.
