Karanka torn between Mourinho and Dubai

Aitor Karanka's future remains very much up in the air. Such are the vagaries of football that he could still end up reunited with Mourinho at Chelsea. The former Real Madrid assistant remains under contract at the Bernabéu, but there doesn't appear to be a role for him at the club. Given this situation, Karanka has unsurprisingly started to seek out pastures new.
Although almost three weeks have passed since Mourinho left the Bernabéu, there remains a chance that Karanka could join him at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese coach has told his former number two that he has a job waiting for him in London if he wants it.
However, there is no guarantee that the Karanka-Mourinho show is set to be revived. The Basqueman has been approached with a juicy offer from the UAE to make his first move into management. The former Athletic and Real Madrid defender is expected to make a decision over the next few days, though one thing seems certain: his future lies away from the Bernabéu.
