No way for Jose at City

Jose MOURINHO has strongly denied he has reached an agreement to take over as manager of Manchester City at the end of the season.

A report in Spain yesterday claimed the Real Madrid boss had agreed to take over from Roberto Mancini at Eastlands this summer.

But the Portuguese, who is under contract at the Bernabeu until 2014, firmly insisted at a press conference ahead of his side’s Primera Division match with Osasuna that was not the case.

“I deny that I or anyone on my behalf has reached an agreement with City,” the former Chelsea boss said.

“I have a contract and do not have to answer questions that have no foundation.”
