Jose Mourinho to Saudi Pro League on £104m contract?! Big decision made on former Chelsea & Man Utd manager’s future at Roma

The Portuguese tactician is working on a deal in the Italian capital that is due to expire at the end of the season. According to Sky Sports Italia, no extension talks have taken place and a parting of ways is considered to be inevitable next summer.

Gianluca Di Marzio has said of the big decision being made on Mourinho’s future in Italy: “There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June.” Mourinho will walk away after three years at Stadio Olimpico.

It is already being suggested that the former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United manager will make the Middle East his next port of call, with the 60-year-old admitting that he expects to head in that direction at some stage. Mourinho has said: “I am focused on Roma and I will give my all until the last day I am here. Nobody knows the future, but I am convinced I will coach in Saudi Arabia one day. I don’t know when, but I am quite sure it’s something I’ll surely do.”

It has been reported that one ambitious club in the Middle East is ready to offer Mourinho a two-year contract worth £104m. If those terms are accepted, then one of the most decorated coaches in world football will join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Neymar and Sadio Mane in the Saudi Pro League.
