Mourinho has remained unemployed since his dismissal from Roma in January. He stipulated that any potential new club must boast a top-notch training facility. Notably, he has not received any contact from Portuguese teams and opted out of attending Chelsea matches when fans began chanting his name, disrupting his enjoyment. Additionally, he dismissed the possibility of joining Benfica, particularly following Andre Villas-Boas’ appointment as Porto’s new president, with whom he has a longstanding feud.
When questioned about the impact of Villas-Boas’ new role at Porto on his likelihood of managing Benfica, Mourinho rebuffed such queries, emphasizing his detachment from emotionally-driven decisions in football. He stressed his aversion to unethical behavior and the disruption such questions cause to his personal life. Furthermore, he expressed his discontent with the situation, indicating a shift away from Chelsea matches and opting to attend games at other stadiums instead.
Regarding his future managerial aspirations, Mourinho asserted that he currently lacks any concrete plans, acknowledging the weight of his illustrious career. Despite managing teams that may not be expected to win, he highlighted his ongoing commitment to coaching and the importance of a quality training environment. He clarified that he has not received any offers from Portuguese clubs.
Mourinho’s track record as one of the most successful managers of the 21st century speaks for itself, having secured multiple Champions League titles and helmed renowned European clubs like Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Porto. While some speculate on his diminished influence in the managerial realm, it’s evident he remains deeply engaged with the sport.
In March, Mourinho expressed his desire to return to management but emphasized the importance of waiting for the right opportunity. Speculations have linked him to potential moves to the Saudi Pro League, Newcastle United, his former club Chelsea, among others.
