Manchester City is looming as the most likely destination for Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho next season.
The People says City manager Roberto Mancini needs to clinch a Champions League place at City to secure his position, with insiders revealing his fate rests on results in the coming weeks.
Mourinho's camp has let it be known that he is open to offers at the end of his first season at Real Madrid - a prospect that excites City's Arab owners.
The Abu Dhabi-based moneymen have been on Mourinho's trail for years but were unable to attract him - ironically because of their failure to make the Champions League.
Mancini has to deliver a top-four finish to keep himself safe but Eastlands sources reveal there is a 'distance' growing between the boss and his senior managers Garry Cook and Brian Marwood.
