Why Jose isn’t managing Barca

According to Sport, back in January 2008, a secret meeting between a then unemployed Jose Mourinho and Barcelona directors Marc Ingla and Txiki Begiristain, who were looking for someone to replace Frank Rijkaard as manager. At the suggestion of Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes, the meeting was held in the boardroom of a bank in Lisbon "to avoid being recognized".
