The move will reignite Mourinho’s bitter rivalry with Pep Guardiola, who will take over at Manchester City from Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.
The pair have known each other for many years - Mourinho was working for manager Bobby Robson at Barcelona when midfielder Guardiola was a key man on the pitch - and struck up a working relationship early on. When Robson was replaced by Van Gaal in 1997, Mourinho and Guardiola stayed at the Nou Camp.
