Jose Mourinho ‘Headed’ for a Bumper £104m Contract as the Former Chelsea and Man Utd Manager Decides on Future at Roma
Goal are reporting that Roma Manager and the former Chelsea and Man Utd gaffer could set for a £104m contract that will take him to the Saudi Pro League as the biggest profile manager yet, moving to the Middle East.
The situation with the Portuguese is that he is on a deal at AS Roma that is due to exposure at the end of the season. According to Sky Sports Italia, nothing is in the works regarding an extension of the contract. The state of things means that a parting of ways is inevitable come next summer.
Therefore, the Special One will be available and untethered to any club, making him the prime target of the ambitious Saudi Pro League. Given his stature, what he has achieved in the game, and the fact he is a box office draw, Jose Mourinho is the ultimate get in many ways for the Saudi project.
Mourinho has admitted before that he can see himself moving to the Saudi Pro League and joining the mega stars already there, especially his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo
“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.”
As things stand, Jose Mourinho’s move to the SPL might come sooner rather than later.
