Mourinho promises Madrid revival

(GSM) – Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho intends to bring the best out the underachieving Real Madrid stars. The Portuguese tactician has been named as successor of the sacked Manuel Pellegrini and will take over the Madrid hotseat next season.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez met Intenazionale president Massimo Moratti in Milan yesterday and finalized the early release of Mourinho from his contract at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Mourinho had a contract which ran until 2012 but will instead join the star-studded Real Madrid.

Having failed to win a trophy last season and exiting the Champions League in the second round at the hands of Olimpique Lyon, Real have pounced at the chance to sign the treble-winning former Chelsea manager.

Mourinho, on the other hand, has promised to bring the club back to winning ways.

He told AS: “I think Madrid have signed me because they know that they can demand aims in the short term but that I am also capable of leaving a base for the future.

“It’s clear that I work for myself but also for clubs. At Chelsea you can see scouts and physical trainers that I left there. The same goes for Inter.

“I want to leave a mark at this club, not only with titles but with other things. I promise from my first day that I will bring out the best in the players, that I will take care of them.”
