The Managerial Merry-Go-Round

Will Mourinho's departure from Madrid start a chain reaction?




It is an open secret that Jose Mourinho's time at Real Madrid is at an end. His usual trick of turning himself into beloved battle commander seems to have back-fired.

Mourinho's arrival pushed the Madrid ego-meter past tipping point and despite achieving what he was appointed to do, namely bringing Barcelona down a peg or two, it seems clear that the Special One's time at Madrid will soon come to an end. What does this mean for the rest of football? Wild speculation ensues...
