In the event Mourinho is dismissed from Stamford Bridge, he may reunite with Inter Milan in Serie A or move on to reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, according to ESPN.com's Miguel Delaney. Delaney stated Mourinho's top choice would be PSG, and the two sides have already been in contact.If he were to flee to PSG, Mourinho could become the second manager ever to win league trophies in five different countries. A return to Inter would also be a logical move after he left the club on excellent terms.
