Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho appears to have dropped a revelation about his next club even before his recent sacking by Super Lig giants Fenerbahce.
The Special One’s dramatic exit from Fenerbahce came after a disastrous Champions League campaign, culminating in the Turkish Super Lig giants’ failure to qualify for the group stage.
The humiliating defeat to Portuguese giants Benfica marked another tough chapter in Mourinho’s managerial career.
Shortly after the sack, a video resurfaced on social media where Mourinho spoke candidly about his future plans.
The footage, originally aired on Sky Sports and now widely shared on Instagram, features Mourinho discussing his next managerial destination and preferences for his upcoming job.
“When I leave Fenerbahce, I go to a club that doesn’t play UEFA competitions. So, if a club in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I am ready to go,” Mourinho said in the video last October.
This statement offers an intriguing glimpse into Mourinho’s mindset as he looks ahead, signaling an openness to taking charge of a struggling English Premier League club outside of Europe’s elite competitions.
As the football world awaits official confirmation, this candid revelation reignites speculation about Mourinho’s future and the potential return of the celebrated coach to England’s top flight, albeit with a club facing significant challenges.
Mourinho’s next move is highly anticipated, and his willingness to take a rebuilding job speaks to his enduring ambition and belief in his ability to restore success, regardless of the stage.
