MOURINHO THE MAN TO REPLACE FERGUSON
by Anti Manchester United FC under
How do you fill the biggest shoes in football? With the best - and few would argue that Jose Mourinho fits that description perfectly. That's why the former Chelsea manager is the first name on everyone's lips when the subject of Sir Alex Ferguson's successor is raised. The Special One is just special enough not to give two hoots about the reputation of the man he would replace at Old Trafford. Looking at the job done by British football's greatest-ever manager - he would be convinced he could do it better. And you would be hard-pressed to find a United supporter who wouldn't want to see him try. Reports that next season will be Ferguson's last, remain just that - reports. But with his 70th birthday looming by that time, it looks a decent bet that he would be ready to pull the curtain down on an incredible career. United have already experienced the perils of trying to replace a legendary figurehead, waiting 26 years to win the title after Sir Matt Busby stepped down. This time around they will be desperate find the right man straight away. A Champions League and UEFA Cup winner with unfashionable Porto, Mourinho is the only man other than Fergie to win back-to-back titles in the Premier League era. Now he's dominating Italy with Inter - and should he get past Barcelona, would be odds on to win the Champions League for a second time. What better audition for the toughest job in football? Would you like to see Mourinho succeed Ferguson? Have your say.
