Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has become manager of this shocking Premier League club today!
Jose Mourinho is weighing his options after being fired as Roma’s manager on Tuesday ¹. Mourinho made it clear that he wanted to stay at Roma when his contract was about to end in the summer. However, Mourinho doesn’t have any plans in place right now, and Roma was a big reason why he decided to end his time in the Italian city ². He’ll get a lot of offers, though. There have been rumors that Mourinho might come back to the Premier League and manage Newcastle United or his old team, Chelsea ³. But 90min knows that any moves to either team would be very surprising, and nothing is official yet ¹. Here are some other teams that might hire Mourinho next ² ³ ¹:
– *Chelsea*: There was a lot of talk about Mauricio Pochettino’s future at Stamford Bridge even before the 5-0 loss to Arsenal, which made things even worse. Mourinho’s name will probably come up if the Blues decide to let Pochettino go this summer.
– *Newcastle*: Newcastle’s owners are also willing to give Eddie Howe another season to see if he can get things back on track. If the owners get impatient and want a change, Mourinho would make sense for a number of reasons.
– *Marseille*: One possible opening that might interest Mourinho is Marseille. After Gennaro Gattuso was fired in February, Jean-Louis Gasset took over, but after a brief uptick, Marseille has lost five league games in a row and is now eighth in the table.
– *Saudi Pro League*: Mourinho has said that he would like to manage in Saudi Arabia at some point. If he’s still out of work by the summer, he’ll probably get a contract offer from the Saudi Pro League.
– *England national team*: Mourinho might also think about managing internationally, since there will be a lot of openings in the summer after Euro 2024 and the Copa America, which comes before the 2026 World Cup. Even though Gareth Southgate has said he wants to keep going, Mourinho is said to be open to taking over as England manager if Southgate quits after the Euros.
