Jose Mourinho spotted in West London as next Chelsea and Liverpool manager favourite revealed
Jose Mourinho was spotted in attendance at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, watching Fulham lock horns with Liverpool. The former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager saw Jurgen Klopp's side earn three crucial points as the Premier League title race builds a head of steam.
Liverpool put on quite the show for Mourinho, who left Roma in January after two-and-a-half-years in the Italian capital. Trent Alexander-Arnold put the Reds ahead in west London before Timothy Castagne found an equaliser.
Ryan Gravenberch put Liverpool back in the lead shortly after half-time. Diogo Jota put the final nail in the coffin with a quarter of an hour or so left on the clock. Following Arsenal's win over Wolves on Saturday, just an eight-goal difference separates the two sides in the title race.
After being spotted at the game by beIN SPORTS, some supporters have begun to link Mourinho to both the Chelsea and Liverpool job. Mauricio Pochettino currently faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, while Klopp is set to leave Anfield at the end of the season.
In fact, according to Sky Bet, the Portuguese tactician has recently emerged as the favourite to become the next permanent Blues boss at 3/1. Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim are tipped at 6/1 to take the wheel at Chelsea, while Michel Sanchez and Thomas Tuchel have been backed at 8/1.
Meanwhile, Sky Bet have placed Mourinho at 40/1 to take the Liverpool job. The Sporting CP boss remains the out-right favourite at 1/5, with the Brighton manager tipped at 10/1. While many have speculated that the former Chelsea and Spurs gaffer could return to the Premier League this summer, it's previously been revealed that he just simply lives in west London.
