José Mourinho has always been known as the “special one”. He certainly has an amazing record in football, as well as in self-promotion, and he has signed up a new four year agreement with Chelsea Football Club. I am a Chelsea supporter, and I am really glad to see him on his way back, together with all his Italian-styled suits that he wears on the sidelines and whatever controversy he is going to create next – but there certainly will be some.
Working as the coach for Chelsea Football Club is an amazing route to wealth, particularly since most of the coaches get fired after a year and get in excess of R100 million normally to leave the Club and it tells you how good José must be, if Roman Abramowich would have him there, pay him out to go early, and now have to hire him back again. It is also a wonderful illustration as to just how much money wealthy people are prepared to waste on their pastimes – because with the amount they pay the players, not to mention the coach, there is no chance that they can ever break even!

Personally I think European Football should follow the financial set-up of American Football. Each team is limited to a total salary cap of $80 000 000.00 per annum for player, coach and manager salaries. Thereby evening out the playing field, wealth doesn't buy trophies, as sacrifices are made for a valuable player in one position by having to buy a less valuable player in another position. Then lets see who performs!

Please don't shoot - but I'm not much of a football person. For that kind of money he better be worth it.

I don't know much about this but seems that a lot of money for a coach! I cant imagine having to pay that amount of money for him to leave only to re-hire him. If they hire me and fire me, I would be happy :) even if it means me being unemployed as I would be set! but you know what they say : More money, more problems

It is amazing how such a low-scoring game attracts to many fans and so much wealth. Is golf or football the most lucrative sport?
