Mourinho and Real Madrid Will Part Ways José Mourinho will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, Sam Borden of The Times reports, having reached an agreement that could ease his return to Chelsea of the Premier League - the worst kept secret in soccer the past few months. According to The Guardian's Sid Lowe: A clause in Mourinho's deal stipulated a penalty, thought to be in the region of €20m (£16.9m), in the event of one of the parties unilaterally breaking the contract. Roman Abramovich, Chelsea's owner, had told Mourinho that he would not pay and that any costs involved in getting out of his contract at Madrid were the coach's responsibility. Chelsea have been stung in the past having paid £13.5m to secure André Villas-Boas from Porto in the summer of 2011, only to sack him after 256 days in charge. Mourinho, too, wished to avoid the cost of departing. And if Mourinho goes to London, the coaching carousel will really start to spin. Real Madrid would be free to strike a deal with Paris St.-Germain to get the replacement it wants, Carlo Ancelotti, who wants to come. That would leave the P.S.G. job open - a plum assignment that earlier this year had been linked to Arsenal's Arsàne Wenger. Which would add Arsenal to the list of teams atop the Premier League either welcoming or in the market for new coaches. And you thought only player transfers filled the summer newspapers.
