According to a recent interview with Fabrizio Romano, Jose Mourinho is actively looking for his next management position. He has a clear goal in mind: he wants to start with a new team this summer. Given Mourinho’s well-known passion for English football and the Premier League, a return to that setting seems likely. From November 2019 to April 2021, Tottenham was the team he played for in the Premier League. Even if he was able to hold the job for a long time, he frequently leaves the company, either through resignation or by deciding to take on a new challenge.
It seems improbable that Mourinho would take over as manager of Leicester, given that they could lose 10 points. But given his previous achievements—winning the FA Cup and Premier League, for example—and his trip to the semifinals with Roma in 2022, he could find such a task enticing. It’s interesting to note that, after leading Chelsea to a league title the year before and losing to Claudio Ranieri, Mourinho left the squad during the 2015-16 campaign due to a string of bad performances. His possible comeback to the Premier League is made even more intriguing by this past.
His presence would intimidate any opponent, and he thrives on revenge and challenges. His work and recruitment strategies are widely admired, particularly his achievements at Inter Milan. Mourinho’s close collaboration with Esteban Cambiasso, who played a pivotal role in the 2010 Champions League final victory against Bayern Munich and in winning Serie A the previous season, highlights his special managerial skills.
During his tenure at Tottenham, Mourinho had Harry Winks in his squad, and the midfielder earned seven caps for England while regularly featuring under Mourinho. At Chelsea, Robert Huth was one of the players he managed, and Huth is now back at Leicester, overseeing the club’s loaned-out players. Mourinho’s coaching staff is typically composed of a close-knit group of trusted individuals who are crucial to achieving his ambitious goals.
When Mourinho left Roma last season, he had already lost his assistant, Joao Sacramento, who departed to pursue a head coaching role. This constant turnover within his staff underscores the importance of the people he surrounds himself with in achieving success.
As the next generation of coaches, he follows in the footsteps of Andre Villas Boas, Rui Faria, and Nuno Santos, all of whom were instrumental in Jose Mourinho’s success. It may seem unusual to consider Jose Mourinho as a possible fit for Leicester, but strange things have happened before. From a fan’s perspective, his desire for new initiatives makes him the perfect man because his style is influenced by his result-driven focus. We all realize and are aware of his shortcoming up to this point, which is his inability to comprehend situations under pressure and provide the desired results.
