Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho bags new job in England months after parting ways with AS Roma

Jose Mourinho, a former manager of Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, has been unemployed since AS Roma fired him in January.

This weekend, Jose Mourinho will return to England to serve as a commentator for the Champions League final on TNT Sports.

The former manager of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur has been unemployed on a full-time basis in the football industry since Serie A powerhouses AS Roma fired him in January. Despite guiding the club to the UEFA Conference League during the 2021/22 season, the Portuguese’s rapport with the club deteriorated to the point where a decision was reached to terminate their association at the start of the year.

Subsequently, Mourinho has maintained an active presence in Saudi Arabia, where he is reportedly being considered for the services of several clubs. The 61-year-old has expressed a desire to operate in the Middle East at some point in the future.

Nevertheless, Mourinho has not ruled out a possible return to the Premier League. The seasoned manager, according to our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News, would “walk to Manchester” to reclaim leadership of Manchester United.

Additionally, Chelsea was rumored to be considering a third stint with Mourinho, but both of those outcomes appear improbable. Nevertheless, it is certain that this coming weekend, English viewers will be treated to the expert analysis of the two-time Champions League champion at Wembley Stadium.

On Saturday evening, Mourinho’s former club Real Madrid will host Borussia Dortmund. Los Blancos are heavy favorites to earn an unprecedented 15th Champions League title.

Madrid, under the impressive leadership of Jude Bellingham, will be optimistic about their prospects against Dortmund, who according to some have had an easier journey to the final. Nevertheless, the German club’s 2-0 on aggregate victory over Kylian Mbappe’s PSG in the semi-finals was remarkable.
