People think the former Manchester United manager will go back to the Premier League after being fired by Roma.
After being fired by Roma, Jose Mourinho is now out of work and can be hired again. This won’t come as a surprise to anyone who follows Italian football.
The 60-year-old was in the stands for Sunday’s loss to Milan because he got his second red card in a row in last week’s Coppa Italia loss to Lazio, who is a fierce foe. After the game, he said he felt like Harry Potter and that he was “raising” expectations for the club.
Roma won the first Europa Conference League title and made it to the Europa League final the next year, both while he was in charge. Roma has tried to get into the top four of Serie A, but they haven’t been able to do so. They have also lost ground since coming close to making the Champions League in the Europa League final.They said in a club statement on Tuesday, “We would like to thank Jose on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and hard work since he joined the club.” We will always remember the good times we had with him at Roma, but we think that a change needs to happen right away for the club’s sake. We hope the best for Jose and his helpers in everything they do from now on.
People will now ask Mourinho what he plans to do next. His second stint at Chelsea finished with terrible play on the field, and his departure from United was a bombshell.
In an interesting twist, he won prizes in the first few seasons at both clubs and Roma before things went badly. His time at Tottenham could have been the same if he hadn’t been fired before the 2021 League Cup final.Sky Bet thinks that Newcastle is the most likely place for him to go next. The chances on an appointment at St. James’ Park are 3/1. Eddie Howe is having a bad season, and the club is 11 points behind the top four and in 10th place right now.
On April 20, United plays Newcastle at home. Mourinho went to Old Trafford twice while he was manager of Tottenham. On his most recent trip, in 2020, his team easily beat them 6-1.
As of 4/1, Sky Bet says he could also move to Saudi Arabia, and at 5/1, he could become the manager of the Portugal national team. Crystal Palace at 8/1, West Ham at 16/1, and Chelsea at 20/1 are also on the list of possible next jobs. A return to United and Tottenham is at 50/1.
