Jose Mourinho, the 11m manager who the Premier League cant afford

Jose Mourinho could be pricing himself out of his ambition to return to Premier League management. The Inter Milan manager is understood to be earning £11million ayear net at the San Siro Stadium - more than twice the wages ofBritain's highest earner, Sir Alex Ferguson. Earning Mour than you: Mourinho (left) earns twice as much as Sir Alex Ferguson It means that the charismatic Portuguese would have to take a massive cut if he wants to succeed Ferguson at Manchester United, although he would earn so much from his contract at Inter, which ends in 2012, that such a deficit may not matter. Having already turned down the chance to join Manchester City, only a massive offer from Real Madrid this summer could possibly divert him from his main target. He would have to ditch a long-held ideal to honour every contract he signs to move to Spain.
