Following his dismissal as manager of Roma, Jose Mourinho finds himself contemplating his next move, as reported by 90min. The decision came after a string of poor results left Roma languishing in ninth place in Serie A. Despite expressing a desire to stay on at Roma as his contract neared its end, Mourinho now faces an uncertain future.
Sources indicate that Mourinho currently lacks concrete plans, with Roma’s role in his departure being significant. Nonetheless, he is expected to receive numerous offers in the coming weeks and months. While rumors swirl about a potential return to the Premier League with either Newcastle United or his former club Chelsea, no official announcements have been made.
Chelsea’s ownership appears inclined to give current head coach Mauricio Pochettino more time, despite a disappointing season start. Meanwhile, Newcastle United seems inclined to support manager Eddie Howe, despite challenges posed by a lengthy injury list.
Mourinho has previously expressed interest in managing in Saudi Arabia, and should he remain without a club by summer, he may receive offers from the Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal has previously pursued Mourinho with a lucrative offer, but their current success makes a move unlikely.
However, other Saudi clubs such as Al Ahli and Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, may still pursue Mourinho for managerial positions. Additionally, Mourinho could consider international management, with potential vacancies expected after Euro 2024 and the Copa America, preceding the 2026 World Cup. Although Gareth Southgate intends to continue as England manager, Mourinho remains open to the possibility of assuming the role should circumstances change.
