Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has become manager of this shocking Premier League club today!
Jose Mourinho is examining his options after his dismissal as Roma manager on Tuesday, according to 90min.
The Giallorossi confirmed Mourinho’s resignation after a disappointing run of form saw them tumble to ninth in the Serie A league, ending his two-and-a-half-year tenure at the Stadio Olimpico. Mourinho’s contract at Roma was slated to end in the summer, and he openly expressed his wish to remain with the club.
According to 90min sources, Mourinho presently has no plans in place, with Roma’s choice to terminate his reign in the Italian city being entirely their own. However, he will not be short on offers.
Mourinho has lately been linked with a return to the Premier League with previous club Chelsea and Newcastle United, but 90min knows that any impending movements to both teams would be very unexpected, and nothing is firm at this time.
Despite Chelsea’s slow start to the season, the club’s owners are willing to remain patient with current manager Mauricio Pochettino. They want to evaluate him as soon as possible in the summer – the Argentine has already been questioned by the crowd, and they face elimination in the Carabao Cup semi-finals against Championship side Middlesbrough.
Newcastle, meanwhile, want to give additional time to under-pressure manager Eddie Howe, who has had to deal with a long list of injuries this season.
Mourinho has said in recent months that he would contemplate managing in Saudi Arabia one day, and 90min believes he will almost surely get a contract offer from the Saudi Pro League by the summer if he is still unemployed.
Al Hilal has previously offered Mourinho over £30 million per year to lead the club, but they are presently top of the league and vying for another Asian Champions League crown, so they are unlikely to change managers in the near future.
However, Al Ahli and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr might still attempt to employ Mourinho, since both have previously considered him for managerial posts.
Mourinho may potentially pursue a career in international management, with many jobs anticipated to open up later this summer after Euro 2024 and the Copa America in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Mourinho is thought to be open to take over as England manager if Gareth Southgate leaves after the Euros, despite the fact that the current Three Lions manager has expressed a desire to remain.
