So the contributors to Wikipedia aren't any much better at forecasting than I am. Avram Grant, a known-nemesis of Mourinho, is now in charge. The only question is how long, especially with the availability of big-name managers next summer, as well as the players' well-publicised loyalty to their "Special One".

So that bring us to the real question: what lies ahead for Mourinho? The bookmakers make the him the odds-on favourite to succeed Scolari as Portugal chief. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Spurs are mentioned as well, but I would agree with the bookmakers. He probably will be the man to lead Portugal towards qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The other clubs aren't real options at the moment, for one reason or another, but then again, football's a funny game. We'll see.
