Is Jose Mourinho on his way to Valencia? |
JOSE MOURINHO is a target for Valencia to take over from Gary Neville, after the former Manchester United player was appointed head coach.
Neville was surprisingly handed the role at the Spanish side, with his brother Phil as his assistant.
His first match will be next week in their decisive Champions League clash with Lyon.
Neville said: "I am absolutely thrilled to be given this opportunity with Valencia.
"Valencia are a huge football club — and I know from my time as a player the passion and dedication of the Valencia fans."
But according to the Sun, Neville may only be keeping the seat warm for Mourinho.
A Spanish source told SunSport: "Many in Valencia believe Mourinho will come here next summer with Neville returning to England."
The report claims the Chelsea boss would jump at the chance to take on Barcelona and former club Real Madrid if he left Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho has received a vote of confidence from the Chelsea hierarchy and steadied the ship after a dismal start to the season.
