Two Saudi clubs compete Real Madrid for Mourinho’s services!
As the end of his contract with Roma approaches in June 2024, speculation is increasing about the fate of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho with the Italian club.
The veteran coach is currently going through a difficult period with Wolves due to inconsistent results, which opened the door to his departure as soon as possible, leading to speculation about clubs wishing to obtain his services.
The Italian newspaper “Corriere dello Sport” said that Mourinho wants to succeed with Roma during the current year by achieving any achievement with the team, such as winning the championship or qualifying for the Champions League, and after that he will think about the opportunities available to him.
She indicated that Mourinho had received some communications from the Brazilian Federation to coach the Seleção national team, and she also refused to rule out talks with Newcastle United to lead the current project for the English club.
It also touched on the possibility of him moving to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to train a club there, a possibility that Mourinho explicitly acknowledged, as he stressed his feeling that he would work in Saudi Arabia as a coach in the near future.
The newspaper confirmed that the Jeddah duo, Al-Ahly and Al-Ittihad, are the most determined to contract with Mourinho, amid reports of an offer worth 50 million euros per season, which is the highest for any coach in history.
The idea of returning to Real Madrid is also considered one of the most important possibilities at the present time, given the increasing news in the Spanish newspapers about Mourinho’s candidacy to return again to his former seat at the Santiago Bernabeu after the possible farewell of Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season.
What makes the Portuguese the most likely candidate over Xabi Alonso and others is his experience, the strength of personality and the charisma he enjoys in the locker room, which are the things preferred by Florentino Perez, the club president, who tends towards experience and does not like to take risks with younger, less experienced elements.

It is noteworthy that Mourinho succeeded in obtaining the European Conference League title with Roma, and lost the European League final to Seville last season, and succeeded in putting the team on the right path before it clearly deteriorated this season.
