Watches, cars and casinos holding up Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United deal

Jose Mourinho is going to be the Manchester United manager, but isn’t yet. This is because of the long list of business problems Mourinho’s people need to work out with the club. When it comes to the footballing side and base compensation, there probably isn’t much of an issue. But image rights and official watch partners? Well, that’s a different story.

Mourinho has deals with watch, car and casino companies that currently clash with United’s sponsorships. There is some good news, though! They’re both sponsored by adidas. Oh, but bad news: “Jose Mourinho” is a registered trademark of Chelsea Football Club.
