Having stayed without a job for months now since he was sacked late last year by Chelsea, Serie A club Inter Milan has confirmed that Manchester United target Jose Mourinho is headed for the San Siro.
Inter Milan’s honorary president Massimo Moratti confirmed on Thursday that the special one will head to San Siro this weekend.
“I think Mourinho will be at San Siro on Saturday evening,” Moratti told Italian outlet ANSA.
“A gift for the fans? It’s him who likes to come to Milan.
“He’s in the history of the Nerazzurri and his presence further strengthens the club.
“We’d scheduled a lunch either here or in London, and we took the opportunity of the Sampdoria match to see each other.”
According to Daily Express, Mourinho will visit the club that he once managed as he waits to hear from Manchester United board to approve his appointment.
Mourinho is considered a hero at Inter during his two-year spell as manager with two Serie A titles and a memorable Champions League title.
Sitting fifth place in Serie A ahead of Saturday’s clash with Sampdoria, Inter are currently on course to miss out on Champions League football for the fourth consecutive season.
For United, Daily Express UK understands that Jose Mourinho will take over from Louis van Gaal at Manchester United this summer if the Dutchman misses out on Champions League football this campaign.
And with United six points behind fourth-placed rivals Manchester City, Mourinho is said to be confident that he will be in charge at Old Trafford next year.
