Perez: Mourinho is going to Chelsea
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has confirmed that Jose Mourinho is set to make a return to Premier League side Chelsea.
Mourinho took charge of his final game for Real Madrid on Saturday, a 4-2 win over Osasuna, having already agreed to part ways with Real by mutual consent.
The Portuguese endured a difficult final season at the Bernabeu, finishing second to Barcelona in La Liga by 15 points and losing to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Those failures allied to a reportedly fraught atmosphere in the dressing room have culminated in Mourinho's departure, with a return to Stamford Bridge mooted for sev

Dunne´s Villa career coming to a close
Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne believes his time at the club may soon come to an end.
The Republic of Ireland international has not played for the club this season and believes Paul Lambert will continue to opt for youth over experience.
However, Dunne, who joined Villa in 2009 from Manchester City, insists he has no resentment to either the club or Lambert.
"The manager is the manager and whatever he says goes, so there is no point in senior players complaining and saying that you need senior players in the team because it could just be sour grapes," he told Sky Sports News.

Clarke: We want to keep Mulumbu
West Brom manager Steve Clarke is desperate to keep hold of combative midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu.
The 26-year-old has excelled for the Hawthorns outfit since arriving from French giants PSG, initially on loan, in January 2009.
He remained a first-team regular following Clarke's appointment prior to the 2012-13 campaign, and went on to score two goals in 28
Premier League appearances.
Fiorentina have been linked with a move for Mulumbu of late, with the Italians reportedly set to offer four million pounds for
the Congolese midfielder.
But Clarke says he has told the club's board that Mulumbu is a player he needs to keep if WesBrom are to

Klopp: Weidenfeller the best in the world
Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has lauded Roman Weidenfeller as the best goalkeeper in the world.
The 32-year-old made 47 appearances for the Westfalenstadion outfit in 2012-13, helping them to the UEFA Champions League final and second place in the Bundesliga.
And Klopp believes his keeper's performances over that period have singled him out as the number one shot-stopper in world football.
"I do not know the rules according to which a decision is made (on the world's best goalkeeper)," he said.
"But this year he was the best goalkeeper in the world. That is so."

Liverpool must keep Suarez, says Souness
Former Liverpool star Graeme Souness believes the club must keep Luis Suarez if they want to qualify for the UEFA Champions League again.
The 26-year-old was prolific for Liverpool throughout the 2012-13 Premier League campaign, scoring 23 goals in 33 appearances.
His efforts in front of goal were not enough to lift Liverpool into the top four however – Brendan Rodgers' side eventually finished seventh in the table – and, although Suarez has expressed a desire to leave because of the English press, Souness says the Anfield outfit need to do everything they can to keep the want-away striker.
Liverpool have a proud Champions League history, having won the tournament five ti

Pellegrini set for City talks
Manuel Pellegrini refused to confirm his future plans after his time at Malaga came to an end with a 4-1 defeat at Barcelona on Saturday.
The loss saw Pellegrini end his tenure in Andalusia with a sixth-place finish in La Liga, enough to see the club into the Europa League next season.
The Chilean has been linked with a move to replace Roberto Mancini at Manchester City.
The former Villarreal and Real Madrid coach said he would begin talks with City, but cut his press conference short when a journalist asked him if he had a verbal agreement to manage the club.
"Now the league is over we will start from Monday and look forward and to see where my future lies.

Holtby pleased with Spurs start
Lewis Holtby has expressed satisfaction with life in the Premier League following the end of his first season with Tottenham.
The Germany international moved to White Hart Lane from Schalke in January, after Spurs brought forward a planned off-season free transfer when Sandro was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
And the 22-year-old, whose father is English, says he has enjoyed the early stages of his stay in London.
"Everything I hoped for has come true. I had a really enjoyable second half of the season here," Holtby told the club's official website.
"The time flew by. It really has been an
