Jose Mourinho is already guaranteed to be one of the big winners at the World Cup — earning £1.71million for spending just four days in Russia during the tournament.
Mourinho, who was being chased by the BBC and ITV, has signed up for Russia’s international news channel RT, who have no live rights.
Their agreement with the Manchester United manager requires him to be in Moscow at the start of the World Cup for those lucrative four days doing a variety of punditry.
Then he will work for RT on World Cup final day, but that will be done via a satellite link-up with Manchester.
