Morinho signs 3 years contract with united
Jose Mourinho has been officially confirmed
as Manchester United manager and has signed
a three-year contract.
He replaces Dutchman Louis van Van Gaal,
who was dismissed on Monday, two days after
the club's FA Cup win.
"Jose is quite simply the best manager in the
game today," said United executive vice-
chairman Ed Woodward.
Mourinho, 53, said: "To become Manchester
United manager is a special honour in the
game. It is a club known and admired
throughout the world."
He said he had always "felt an affinity with
Old Trafford" and claimed he has "always
enjoyed a rapport with the United fans".
He added: "I'm looking forward to being their
manager and enjoying their magnificent
support in the coming years.
"There is a mystique and a romance about it
which no other club can match."
Mourinho has been out of work since being
sacked as boss of Premier League rivals
Chelsea in December.
"His track record of success is ideal to take
the club forward," said Woodward.
"He has won trophies and inspired players in
countries across Europe and, of course, he
knows the Premier League very well, having
won three titles here."
