Former Roma manager Jose Mourinho is poised to surprise the football community by accepting this position.

Jose Mourinho’s agent has indicated that the 60-year-old is open to working with Al-Shabab, with discussions ongoing between the Portuguese coach and the Saudi Arabian club.

Offers from Saudi Arabia have been extended to Mourinho for some time, and although he declined last summer due to commitments made to players, he has expressed interest in potentially working in the Saudi Pro League in the future.

Sports reporter Turki Alghamdi suggests that Mourinho is inclined to join Al-Shabab under the condition that the club brings in “star names.”

While there are reports of interest from Napoli and Newcastle, European teams have also shown interest, leaving the possibility open that Mourinho may choose not to move to Saudi Arabia.

Despite being recently dismissed by Roma, Mourinho achieved success in his first season by winning the UEFA Europa Conference League, ending a 14-year trophy drought for the club.
