Jose Mourinho rejects offer to join Saudi club Al Shabab: Reports

Jose Mourinho is also been considered by Napoli

Jose Mourinho has dismissed the speculations of becoming Al Shabab’s manager after his sack from AS Roma. José Mourinho has confirmed that he’s “not gonna become Al Shabab new head coach”, toldPedro Morata.

Given that Roma decided to break company with Jose Mourinho earlier in the week, it’s possible that he may remain in Italy.

Mourinho and his group are reportedly thinking about extending their stay in Serie A after two and a half years in the Italian city.

The most recent story from Sport Mediaset claims that Mourinho’s longstanding agent, Jorge Mendes, has communicated with Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli.

Mendes has made Mourinho available to coach Napoli starting in the upcoming campaign since it is unlikely that the Partenoperi will stick with their present interim coach, Walter Mazzarri.

The Portuguese coach and his representative, Jorge Mendes, had been talking about this possibility before he was fired by AS Roma on Tuesday, six months ahead of the conclusion of his contract.

In October, “The Special One” expressed his belief that he will eventually coach in the Gulf region, and more recently, Mendes acknowledged that “it was just a matter of time” until it transpired. It’s almost as if they anticipated that the two-time Champions League winner would soon have another chance to join the Saudi Pro League. It has, too.

Mourinho’s reputation has badly declined in European football, which is the main reason Saudi Arabia has a fantastic chance to get him as soon as possible.

Even with the peculiar surprise of winning two trophies (the Europa League at United and the Europa Conference League at Rome), Mourinho has experienced constant setbacks and controversy. Once praised, his style of play is now considered antiquated.

Even his once-illustrious reputation has been tarnished by Roma’s lacklustre play and inability to qualify for the Champions League (finishing sixth the previous two seasons and sitting in ninth) regardless of substantial financing and backing from the team’s owners, who boast the third-highest wage bill in Serie A.

The majority of the top teams in Europe’s Big Five leagues won’t want to take the chance on employing Mourinho as, in this day and age, the likelihood of firing him exceeds the likelihood of real on-field success.
