Topic: Jose Mourinho Next Job (Season 2024/2025) - page 2. (Read 522 times)

The news about Jose Mourinho being a Pundit for Champions league final is confirmed. But that doesn't confirm that he has decided to take a retirement from his managing career. The champions league final is a one day event and he might be joining just for that. He's a good manager and becoming a full time football analyst won't suit him.
London is the place he considers home now. He might be getting close with English teams and go through negotiation, there are not much options left but there's talk about him joining Manchester United. Any team in EPL would be better than leaving top European leagues.

This could even be a good alternative for him, being the coach of a big team in Portugal...

 If he could at least get a title or even make the team play good football, it would once again open the doors of football's elite to his job...

The coaching profession is quite thankless, because even if he has many titles and a good record throughout his career... his latest results are what weigh most when a club decides whether to hire him or not ...and in the case of José Mourinho this is a "red flag"

One problem I have got with coach Mourinho is the fact his not changing method of play or tactics , whereas the style of football we had years back has certainly changed and advanced from Jose Mourinho known tactics, Would I say he's finding it difficult to adapt to changing football and patterns of play, However, I see Mourinho as someone that loves or enjoys coaching the English teams especially now that his age has been advanced, But base on his dropping rate, I don't see any notable or top English Premier that will be willing to offer him a job.

Even though the nickname of "The Special One" is no longer with him, I understand that with the decline in his performance after being fired by As Roma, many are doubtful about using him as a coach, there is a big possibility that Jose Morinho will return to Portugal, as his name was raised to the public in when he brought FC Proto to Champions League glory, that might happen if no offers come to him next season, if he steps into retirement, it seems too early for Jose Morinho's class to decide to retire, because in my opinion he is still worthy of managing a big club. What's more, he has never tried out in the German League or the French League, which will definitely have new challenges for him.

Jose Mourinho no doubt isn't any name when it comes to the football managerial world and every knows his capabilities and what is being discussed now is actually the major issues because as a coach in this current evolutionary period in football, a coach needs all the back up and support he can get financial from the board of the club or the owner if it's owned by a single person. Mourinho has it in his system and if anything he can actually adjust to how the football is going and that's why he has been doing quite well too even though the trophy aren't coming yet, his performance at the recent clubs he managed still shows he still has his flare just that the financial back up isn't just there.

I agree with you that, Mourinho is still a top gun for me. He is an experienced manager, just that he hasn't gotten a big club that's willing to back him up with enough money to buy his right players and compete for the titles. Recently Mourinho complained that he wasn't backed up financially by the management of Manchester United, the way they have backed up Eric Ten Hag. Even when he was at Tottenham he also complained that Daniel Levy wasn't willing to bring money to buy players, that made him to leave club. So am still of the opinion that if Mourinho should still handle an ambitious club like Newcastle United, he will perform very well and win titles.

If you check Oddschecker, the bet on Mourinho is found on five bookies, while Klopp is only found on two bookies. This tells you that Mourinho > Klopp, LMAO.

The future chance is slim, not only this summer. This is because no clubs want their manager to be bigger or more popular than the club itself. You must have heard the phrase "No one is bigger than the club." Mourinho has loyal supporters, stars in multiple ads, and becomes a pundit, etc. He's practically not the "normal" manager.

Saudi interest in Mourinho is not only because of his coaching ability but also because he is a good marketing asset.

No friends, all coaches will be interested in working in Europe, because there has its own value to show the best with that it will be focused on us which is impressive, Jose is a genius coach, it is impossible for European clubs not to be interested in him, Jose can still went to the Francis League One and the Portugal Liga.

I don't see Jose failing to handle Roma, in my opinion the Roma management doesn't want to deal with him.

Ah so that prolly means he won't learn Spanish, Italian and French.  Lol.  Which could also mean that he won't be managing Real Madrid, Juventus and PSG.    Sad to hear tho.  Would've loved to see him at Real Madrid.  But maybe he'll go back to where he got famous...  At BVB.  That would prolly be one of the best options for him.  Get those guys out of the rut.

So where will Mourinho go next?  You really think he's going to oiler country? 

It seems that your estimates were not correct because the offers presented to the Portuguese coach became diverse and included clubs from the Saudi League, Al-Ittihad. According to sports journalist Bruno Andrade , the Federal Administration has decided to contract with Mourinho; to succeed Gallardo, at the head of the team's technical leadership.
Mourinho's choice; It came with the approval of most of the technical leaders within Al-Ittihad Club, led by Spanish sports director Ramon Blanes.
The Federalists will find very fierce competition from the Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Besiktas, which announced official offers to the Portuguese coach during the past few days.

Until this moment, it is not possible to predict the future of the Portuguese coach, who is also linked to taking over the leadership of several European clubs such as Fenerbahce and Tottenham. The Portuguese coach previously confirmed while leading Roma that “the idea of ​​training in the Saudi League is on the table, but he does not know the appropriate timing.”

Fabrizio mentioned that he may consider talking to Fenerbahce, a Turkish team that did quite amazing this season and he knows that if he takes over an amazing team that almost won the league and lost on the very last game, and haven't been champions for a decade now, and make them champions, then it would be a good way to climb back up for him as well.

Look at his history, for a long long time he hasn't been managing a team that has the potential to win the league title, or at least expected to win the league title. If he can take over a team that has that potential then it would be very good for him because he would finally be able to go for that title, and then he can get offers from other teams that have the same chance.

Chelsea's plan is to get a much younger coach and if that's the case, then mou is definitely out of the equation. I feel that he has done his part as a sports person and should be thinking on slowing down or going to a much more less competitive leagues since it's obvious most of his tactics isn't favourable at this phase.

Saudi pro league for me Is a perfect option to consider. Joining the Saudi pro league will add some top up to his manageral pay and  since the kind of football that's played at Saudi pro league isn't as organized as what you have in the EPL, lailga and bundesliga, it's going to be to his advantage that his tactics would be useful at that place. And again, almost all the big names that are approaching thier retirement are all going to the Saudi league which has gone a long way to making it a popukar league accross tye globe. He should just go there and leave our Chelsea alone.

This is what makes most of the elite European clubs consider recruiting Jose Mourinho because there are many rumors about this, if his tactics continue to be outdated then the club will not develop well and will be left behind by others. We remember when Jose Mourinho was still coaching Roma. This club continues to lag behind and has difficulty climbing into the top 6 rankings and tends to be in the middle of the table with its inconsistency and even suffers defeats more often and fortunately Roma immediately fired Jose Mourinho in the middle of the season even though they had to take risks but the proof is that it is a new coach who doesn't have much experience. like Jose Mourinho is able to improve Roma's performance better.

And the club that dared to bring in Jose Mourinho with a high salary agreement was only a Saudi Arabian club because Saudi Arabia has good finances so it doesn't matter if they recruit a coach with a lot of experience in Europe, even though the tactics are outdated in Europe but not in Saudi Arabia because of the level of play which is different and it is possible that the techniques that Jose Mourinho has can make Saudi Arabian clubs perform well but cannot yet match the level of football games in Europe. At least Jose Mourinho's popularity can increase the popularity of Saudi clubs.

With latest activities at big clubs and their coach positions, opportunity for Mourinho to be appointed as a coach of big club becomes smaller. I see only two chances for Jose Mourinho in coming months. First chance, that is biggest one, is moving to Saudi Professional League with some big clubs that are ready to give him good offers. Second chance is waiting for the end of Euro 2024 and performances of Portugal, to find his chance as a national team's head coach.

Chance for Jose Mourinho to stay in Europe but manage a big club is very small in this summer.

Klopp said he wants to take one-year break at least and will consider a new job after one year or even longer. Taking a coach position in German national team is a good choice for Klopp because Nagelsman will resign from his position after Euro 2024 according to some news I read.

There are only two big leagues that can be attractive with Klopp, La Liga and Serie A and La Liga looks to more fitted with his attacking philosophy but there is no open coach position there, in this summer. He will only return to coach management next summer 2025 so it's too soon to guess whether any coach position at big clubs next year.

Recently some teams sacked their manager for this season have filled with new manager for next season from Chelsea, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Jurgen Klopp position with Liverpool replaced by Arno Slot. I think left Manchester United as top European teams with potential sack their manager but the management have close with all possibilities for signing Jose Mourinho. I don't sure for next season Jose Mourinho will be manager for any European team but not close possibility if want become Saudi Pro League or MLS League manager team.

All European teams sacked their manager for this season have signed new manager and need time for Jose Mourinho back to be top European team manager, but if he want get challenge with Saudi Pro League team has possibility but depend on him self will reach agreement leave European team and joining with Asian team or not.
Some teams right now priority with youth manager indeed most of them lack experience such as Bayern Munich appointing Kompany become their manager for next season.

I think it's not even a question of him having a high salary, it's more a question of the market, the biggest criticism of José Mourinho is that he is outdated, he has had the same ideas for over 15 years...

He hasn't kept up with the evolution of the sport, so I think it's very difficult for him to get offers from an elite team in European football...

Even though his later career had been rocky, Jose Mourinho still packs the ability to take a team and make them good enough to take up any challenge. There had been different rumors about where he might be heading. Many european teams did wanted him as manager but the rumors suggest he has put on a high price tag that most of the European teams can't afford him. So, the options looks smaller. There are already rumors that Mourinho might join a Saudi football club as a manager as they are spending money like there's no tomorrow. It would also be a good financial boost for Mourinho at his late stage of career. I don't see Saudi football going anywhere but it's good for popular football stars to milk the money till it flows.

I don't think Klopp is going to manage another club, to be honest. He's going to coach the German national team if he wants to coach again. I remember hearing him that language matters a lot and that learning a new language is probably a bit too much at his age. Mourinho on the other hand comes and goes to another club regularly, so speculating where he goes is a valid option. Besides, he's OP's favorite coach if I read it correctly, so no harm in speculating where he would go.

To be fair to him I believe it's a complex issue ranging from management, a new generation of players that probably don't suit him, his personality, etc. It's not like he failed to win anything after he went from one club to another. If the result (top 4, top 8, and so on) is what I care about the most hiring him is probably still a better pick since the market is dry of new coaches anyway. CMIIW.

It's a career option, since José Mourinho, it seems to me, is in complete decline and no longer has a market in the big European teams...

Their performance at ROMA was below 50%, so the natural path for professionals at the end of their career or in decline is to bet on petrodollars... Make a small fortune and finally retire...

Yeah...  Mourinho is the kind of guy that won't debase himself by going to a Saudi league.  He'll prolly opt to stay in Europe among the top 4 leagues, maybe even Ligue 1?  And if not, he'll prolly choose to manage a top club in Portugal.  But if both of those isn't an option then he'll prolly retire or take some time off then pounce on the next job that's more to his liking.

I think guys here should be looking into where Klopp and Naglesmann are going as their next clubs will have league title and UCL trophy implications.
