Jose Mourinho, after a tenure marked by notable achievements and challenges, has been sacked by Roma. Hired in May 2021, Mourinho’s time at the club saw some significant highlights. He led Roma to their first-ever UEFA Europa Conference League title in the 2021/22 season, marking a historic moment for the club. Additionally, Mourinho guided Roma to the final of the Europa League, although they were defeated on penalties by Sevilla.

During his time at Roma, Mourinho’s team had mixed results in the Serie A. They managed two successive sixth-placed finishes but struggled with consistency. His final season with Roma was particularly challenging, as the team only won one of their last six Serie A matches, leaving them in ninth place, and were also knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Lazio.

Mourinho’s approach and style, known for being direct and sometimes controversial, remained evident during his tenure at Roma. He faced several touchline bans for his criticisms of referees and was known for his fiery demeanor. Despite these challenges, Mourinho’s impact on Roma was significant, particularly with his successful European campaign.

Mourinho’s Next Job

Following his recent departure from Roma, speculation about Jose Mourinho’s next managerial position has intensified. According to the latest betting odds, a few clubs and national teams are considered potential destinations for Mourinho.

  • Newcastle United: Newcastle is considered one of the most likely destinations for Mourinho, with odds of 3/1. This speculation is fueled by the current pressure on Newcastle’s manager, Eddie Howe, especially after an early exit from the Champions League and a drop to 10th in the Premier League standings​​​​.
  • Any Saudi Pro League Side: Odds are currently 4/1 for Mourinho moving to a team in the Saudi Pro League. This move would be a new direction for Mourinho, as he has not managed in this league before​​.
  • Portuguese National Team: With odds of 5/1, Mourinho could potentially take over the Portuguese national team. This would mark a return to his home country and a shift from club to international management​​.
  • Any MLS Side: The odds for Mourinho joining an MLS club are currently at 6/1. This would represent Mourinho’s first foray into the American soccer league, which could be an interesting challenge for him​​.
  • FC Porto: Returning to FC Porto, where Mourinho had significant success earlier in his career, is also a possibility, with odds of 7/1. Such a move would be a homecoming of sorts for Mourinho​​.
  • Crystal Palace: With odds of 8/1, Crystal Palace is another potential Premier League destination for Mourinho. This would see him return to the English Premier League, where he has previously managed Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur​​.

These odds provide a glimpse into the potential next steps in Mourinho’s illustrious managerial career, though they are subject to change and depend on various factors, including club decisions and Mourinho’s own preferences.
