Manchester City has ruled out the possibility of José Mourinho becoming its new manager, according to reports by British tabloid the Daily Mirror. The reigning Premier League champion will not be bringing in the Portuguese coach to replace Roberto Mancini, should the Italian get the boot at the end of the season.
There is a straightforward explanation for this development. As the reports reveal, the former Barcelona honchos Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain, now at City, have quashed any chances of the Madrid boss making the switch to Eastlands. However, that does not mean current manager Roberto Mancini is safe – indeed, he will only stay in his job if he manages to lead the side to a second straight Premier League title.
The tabloid has lifted the lid on the question marks within the City hierarchy surrounding Mourinho's style and strong personality, which the club believes outweigh his trophy-laden record.
"Jose? No way! Manchester City chiefs don't want Mourinho as next manager" is the headline of the front-page piece in the Mirror. "Mancini MUST retain the title to keep his job after Euro flop but Blues' former Barcelona bigwigs would snub Special One", it continues.
The piece confirms that Mancini is very much walking on a tightrope, while insisting that were he to depart, Soriano and Txiki's reservations about Mourinho mean he would not be in the running for the City hotseat.
