Where Will Mourinho Head Next?

While several Saudi clubs expressed interest in Mourinho last summer, he opted to continue his role at the Stadio Olimpico. Nevertheless, Mourinho has not ruled out the possibility of coaching in Saudi Arabia. Di Marzio notes,

“Surely, once Mourinho will be free, they [Saudi clubs] will try again,”

leaving the door open for speculation regarding Mourinho’s next career move.

The Dynamics at Roma

Roma correspondent Paolo Assogna shed light on the underlying dynamics at the club, remarking,

“There are some things about the Friedkins that Mourinho doesn’t like and vice versa.”

Currently, there’s no indication of any discussion on a contract extension between the club and Mourinho. However, as always in football, Assogna wisely notes, “anything can happen.”
