Jose Mourinho tipped for Saudi Arabia move but two Premier League clubs could be tempted by sacked Roma manager

Jose Mourinho has officially completed his latest 'Jose Mourinho cycle'.

Roma have sacked the legendary manager after two-and-a-half years which tell a familiar story.

Following two successful seasons, things started to turn sour in the third.

Some shocking performances on the pitch were accompanied by a number of increasingly bizarre outbursts.

Ultimately, with Roma ninth in the table, the club lost patience.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham fans have all read this script before — but who will be the next club to take a punt on the 'Special One'?

Mourinho turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia to spend the 2023/24 campaign at Roma and recently predicted he will manage there one day.

But the Portuguese boss could find a job in England if he looks beyond those clubs.
