Mourinho turned down a deal in Saudi Arabia! The Portuguese strategist is reportedly on the radar of an ambitious Premier League club

José Mourinho was only a few days ago officially dismissed as head coach of AS Roma. But the Portuguese strategist is already receiving other offers. One of them came from Saudi Arabia, however, the former manager of the famous Italian team has already refused.

Mourinho left AS Roma on Tuesday, January 16, after about two and a half years. The management of the Italian club resorted to his dismissal. It should be noted, the Portuguese strategist had a valid contract at the Giallorossi until the end of June this year.

The reason for the sacking was unsatisfactory results. However, AS didn’t stay without the coach for long. Only a few hours after the official announcement the club hired their player legend. Daniele De Rossi took the helm of the A-team.

However, this is not the first time Mourinho has experienced something like this. He has performed very similarly in his last five engagements. He experienced success, however, after some time the team started to decline significantly under his leadership and this understandably led to the termination of the collaboration.

But it must be added, a coach with such a reputation is very unlikely to remain without an engagement for long. Unless he wants to.

According to recent reports, Mourinho has received an offer from Saudi Arabia, specifically from Al-Shabab. But the Setúbal native intends to take it off the table.

Mourinho to Saudi Arabia? No…

Mourinho has received the offer, but he won’t take it. That’s not only according to the renowned and well-known Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, but also one of his colleagues Angelo Mangiante. The Sky Sports Italia expert claims that Mourinho is waiting for an opportunity that will motivate him in the right direction.

Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United, among others, are on the Portuguese strategist’s radar. Moreover, the 60-year-old coach has already worked in England, specifically at Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
