The future of José Mourinho

What will be the future of José Mourinho? The end of his adventure with Roma, which had the Conference League trophy tattooed on his arm, raises questions about the next stage of the 61-year-old Portuguese coach’s career. Although he may take some time off, Mourinho is not è the type to stay away from soccer for too long, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. His reputation è universal: è a coach of great name and success, capable of attracting attention beyond results on the field.

Someone like Mourinho seems made for the Premier League. His last stint at Tottenham è ended with an exoneration early in the season leading up to the Carabao Cup. In England, Mourinho è respected and even loved for his work at Spurs, where he enhanced players like Kane and Son and laid the foundation for the team’s future. He has already coached most of the big English clubs except City, Liverpool and Arsenal. However, it seems unlikely that Chelsea, with whom he remains a legend to most fans, will call him back. The opportunity to lead the new Manchester United also seems uncertain. One possibility might be Newcastle, but è it is hard to imagine him at a mid-ranking club in the Premier League.

Outside of England, in Spain, there's still interest from Florentino Perez and Real Madrid, but Ancelotti has just renewed his contract. In France, there is è talk of him at Paris Saint-Germain, but the club seems to have other preferences. Situations such as Marseille or a Premier League team aiming for eighth place seem unlikely for a coach of Mourinho’s caliber.

However, the temptations for Mourinho may lie elsewhere. Brazil è a possibility, especially now that Ancelotti è is in charge, but he may be open to future consideration. The Saudi League has been courting him for some time, and Mourinho himself has hinted at the idea of working in the Arab league. Al Hilal has made an offer in the past, which è was turned down, but in the coming summer, with many teams looking for improvements on the bench, he could be the Saudi League's number one object of desire, perhaps along with Mo Salah. Mourinho è future is uncertain, but there will certainly be no shortage of opportunities for a coach of his caliber.
