Sinisa Mihajlovic has been in talks with Fiorentina today,they went well.Could be named Fiorentina manager early next week.No sign of an Inter hi-jack.

Jose has just had dinner with Moratti,If he's leaving for Real the official announcement must be any day now.

Can you please explain the allusions made to racism earlier in the thread about Mihajlovic?

[Billy Castell]

Sinsa was done for racially abusing Patrick Vieria in a Champions League match, and also asked the Lazio Ultras to make a banner commemorating his friend Arkan.

Nice guy. Really.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Well Jose has got the Madrid job.

Can't see him lasting more than a season. He might win a trophy or two but the Madrid fans seem to care more about beautiful football rather than actual success.

[Roberto Policano]

Marco Giampaolo should replace Sinisa at Catania.

Pasquale Marino will manage Parma next season.

25 years today since 39 people died at Heysel. RIP

Anyone know how Derbyshire did at Olympiakos this season? I know he started the season injured then came back and scored a few but after that I'm not sure.

[Roberto Policano]

Leece(Champions) and A.C Cesena promoted to Serie A.

Back to back promotions for A.C Cesena.Champions of Serie C last season.

Luca Toni in talks with Napoli and Genoa,could sign in the next few days.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The Sunday Mail (the scottish paper) had him signing for some random Turkish side yesterday in a deal worth 2.5million for the player.

Speaking of British footballers playing for random Turkish sides, Darius Vassell has terminated his contract with Ankaragucu and would like to return to Britain.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Why do Barca fans hate Jose Mourinho so much? I know he's the Real manager now which is reason enough, but did he do or say something whilst he was a translator/coach at Barcelona?

P.S. I hope we don't have a look at Vassell. He has always been rubbish. Sheffield Utd or Coventry is about his level.

[67splitscreen]

Thumbs up or down

Will he stay or has he been told it's time to move on.

This can't hurt.

[Drakefyre]

That is brilliant. Love Mourinho.

it could be to do with the bad feeling from the match between Chelsea and Barca in 2005 perhaps?

Oh yes, I forgot about that. I'm not that into 'Champions' League football, so that slipped my mind. I have to say that Mourinho is great. He's his generations' Brian Clough, minus the booze.

[Roberto Policano]

Inter contacted Luciano Spalletti's agent last night to ask about whether he would be interested in managing Inter and whether Zenit would be happy about any approach.(one would expect not )

So it looks like they have given up on the traitor.

[Roberto Policano]

Rafa has asked for a 4 year contract and £9 million a season,Moratti only willing to pay £5.5 million a season and offer 3 year deal,so someway to go yet before it's ironed out.

[philipl]

Poor Inter!

[Roberto Policano]

Poor Inter!

Serie A is more tactical and technical than the EPL,So he'll do a great job at Inter.Serie A suits all his strengths.

And he'll be working for a proper chairman,and not a couple of cowboys.

Juventus Plan to sign Milos Krasic and Edin Dzeko on Wednesday,but don't tell anyone at Manchester City though.

Garry Cook's golden touch with players deserting him?

Now there is a surprise!

But he is really not that tactical, I have NEVER seen him outclass a top line opposition Manager with tactical ability. PLAN A give it to Torres or Gerrard is not what I call genius.

Knowing his track record though, he has ONCE AGAIN inherited a capable trophy winning squad so he will probably go and win Serie A and all the scousers will be up in arms while they are getting kncoked out in the second round of Europa Cup.

[Billy Castell]

I agree Neekoy. Like 2005, he'll win it with someone else's squad and then proceed to sign 300 average players and leave Inter in a mess. Rafa is tactically rubbish. Plan A is to have 2 holding midfielders, two crap wingers who are probably out of position, and hope that their striker and attacking midfielder can create something. There is no Plan B, C etc.

Inter have really messed up.

Don't forget he also took over a Cuper side at Valencia that had just made it to two consecutive CL finals.
