Undoubtedly one of the best managers in football history, Jose Mourinho has coached Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League but he might be making a return to English football.
The Portuguese tactician is currently halfway through his two-year contract at Fenerbahce, and last month he said he expects to stay with the Turkish giants next season.
However, former France international and Chelsea star William Gallas believes the former Real Madrid boss will only be back on English shores if a post at a title contender becomes available.
Gallas told Prime Casino: “I can only see him back in England in the Premier League and only see him in the Premier League with a team that is competing for the title. I don’t think he will come back just to manage a team in midtable and at the moment I can’t see a team going for the title that would be a good fit, because of that we may not see him back in the Premier League.”
Mourinho has become famous for spending less than three years at a football team, something that has been evidentt during spells at Chelsea, Manchester United, Madrid, Inter Milan, Roma, Tottenham, and more.
Some believe the 62-year-old will get another crack at the Premier League one day but the right opportunity may have to come along to lure him back.
In May, Mourinho said on his Fenerbahce future: “If you ask me if I’m going to be here next season, I refer to the last [Fenerbahce] president’s appearance on TV a couple of weeks ago, where the president said that he wants me to stay and he is counting on me to stay for the next season.”
It’s left to be seen if Mourinho stays at the Turkish outfit to battle it out with fierce rivals Galatasaray.
