Saad Al Lazeez, vice-chairman of the Saudi Pro League, has expressed interest in bringing Mourinho to the Middle East. Mourinho himself confirmed his desire to make the move, stating in an interview with Rai1, “I think one day I will join the Saudi Pro League. I think I will go and coach there, yes. But that day won’t be tomorrow or after tomorrow…”
Interest from Real Madrid
In addition to the Saudi Pro League, Mourinho has also been linked with a potential return to Real Madrid. However, he believes that current manager Carlo Ancelotti is the perfect coach for the club and that club president Florentino Perez would be wise to keep him. Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning the La Liga title during his tenure.
Conclusion
While Mourinho’s next destination remains uncertain, it is clear that he is open to managing in the Saudi Pro League. Whether he ends up in Saudi Arabia or makes a return to Real Madrid, Mourinho’s experience and success in the world of football make him an attractive prospect for any club.
