Roma has announced Mourinho’s departure due to a series of poor performances that saw them drop to ninth place in the Serie A standings.
His tenure at the Stadio Olimpico has come to an end after two and a half years, despite his public desire to stay at the club. Mourinho’s contract was set to expire in the summer.
Sources close to the situation have informed 90min that Mourinho is currently without any concrete plans, with Roma’s decision to part ways being the primary factor.
However, it is expected that he will receive numerous offers in the near future. While Mourinho has been linked with a potential return to the Premier League with former club Chelsea and Newcastle United, immediate moves to these clubs would be surprising, according to insights from 90min.
Chelsea’s ownership is reportedly inclined to exercise patience with current head coach Mauricio Pochettino, intending to assess his performance no earlier than the summer.
Similarly, Newcastle is said to be supportive of under-pressure manager Eddie Howe. Mourinho has hinted at the possibility of managing in Saudi Arabia, with sources indicating a potential offer from the Saudi Pro League by summer if he remains available.
Although Al Hilal previously made a lucrative offer to Mourinho, they are currently performing well under their current manager, making a managerial change unlikely in the near future.
However, clubs like Al Ahli and Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, could be potential destinations for Mourinho. Additionally, Mourinho may explore opportunities in international management, with several vacancies expected to emerge following major tournaments such as Euro 2024 and the Copa America, leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
Mourinho has expressed openness to taking on the England national team job if Gareth Southgate departs after the Euros, although Southgate has indicated his desire to continue in his role.
