Jose Mourinho is a name that is synonymous with the Premier League. The Special One has achieved great success in England and has now set his sights on a return, believing that he has some unfinished business in the league. Currently managing Fenerbahce in Turkey, Mourinho has not been shy about expressing his discontent with his current position.
Despite turning 61 this year, Mourinho still possesses the same intensity and passion that has made him one of the most successful managers in football history. This season alone, he has already been involved in some bizarre moments. Last month, he received a yellow card for showing a laptop to a camera in an attempt to prove that a goal should not have been disallowed. And just last week, he went on an extraordinary rant about the state of Turkish football, stating that nobody outside of Turkey wants to watch their league.
‘Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad?’ Mourinho exclaimed, frustrated with the controversial refereeing decisions that his team had suffered from. ‘They have the Premier League, the French league, the German league, the Portuguese league, the Dutch league. Why should they watch this? It's too grey, too dark, and it smells bad. But that's my job, and I will give everything to my job and my club.’
It seems that Mourinho has already set his sights on his next club, with reports stating that he has his eyes on Eddie Howe's job at Newcastle United. Despite Howe's position not being under threat, Mourinho has reportedly singled out the club as his next destination. This news comes after Howe was overlooked for the England job in favor of Thomas Tuchel.
Newcastle have had a difficult start to the season, but a recent win over Arsenal and a return to form for star player Alexander Isak has lifted the mood at St James' Park. Howe himself has stated that they are aiming for improvements this year and that consistency is key. It may not be the most exciting response, but it is how they judge themselves as a team.
However, Mourinho is said to have already reached out to intermediaries, asking to be kept updated on any developments at Newcastle. He has a relationship with the club's chairman, Yasir al-Rumayyan, who he met at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix earlier this year. It seems that the two have remained in touch, and Mourinho is keen to take on the challenge of managing in the Premier League once again.
