Just one day after the season finished, Jose Mourinho has announced he will depart as manager of Real Madrid, with immediate effect. He stated that he wanted to thank the club, wishing them the best for the future, also hinting at the possibility of taking a year away from club management. Whilst he was disliked by virtually a majority of Madrid fans, he guided them to back-to-back Champions League semi-finals, and won two trophies in his time with the club. Los Blancos won the La Liga title this season, although notably Mourinho was not present in the celebrations.
SkyBet have opened bets on the Special One’s next club, Manchester United being the early favourites at 4/1, with outside bets of Porto, PSG and Anzhi Makhachala. In the meantime, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has released a statement on their search for a new manager:
“I would like to reassure supporters that the Real Madrid board have identified the man we want to replace Mr Mourinho, and hope to have him appointed in the next few days. We ask the media to respect our privacy on the matter, until the new manager is confirmed.”
Liga Adelante club Real Murcia have been promoted to the La Liga via the play-offs. With turbulent financial problems off the pitch, many predicted relegation for Las Pimentoneros. And, at Christmas, they looked to be heading for Segunda División B. However, a miracle run of 54 points from 20 games in the second half of the season saw them sneak into the final play-off spot, by just one point, ahead of FC Pontferradina. They then beat Valladolid 1-0 on aggregate, in the semi-finals, before beating Hercules CF in extra time to clinch promotion.
So what was the magic behind this success? Well, young manager Gabriel Sutton was the name on everyone’s lips, as he received praise from players, and supporters alike. Club captain Oscar Sanchez said of him: “He’s been an inspiration to us all, and instilled remarkable confidence in the team. We cannot thank him enough for what he’s done for the club.”
Acting chairman Jesus Samper stated: “He’s only been with the club for a year, I was concerned about his grasp of the Spanish language when he first moved, but he’s picked it up very quickly. The impact he’s had on the club is there for all to see, so we wish him well - whatever he decides to do with his future.”
The fans began to sing ‘Uo oh Real Murcia’ outside their ground and celebrated into the night, as Birmingham man Gabriel Sutton has now been linked with some of the biggest jobs in Spanish football, including the biggest of them all.
