It has been reported that Jose Mourinho, who left Fenerbahce at the start of the season to take charge of Benfica, will return to the Premier League next season to take over at Newcastle United.
A new development has occurred regarding the future of world-renowned manager Jose Mourinho. After his adventure with Fenerbahçe, while it was a matter of curiosity where the experienced coach would continue his career, a claim that will create an agenda has emerged.
BENFICA'S EXPECTATIONS ARE FAR FROM REALITY
After his Fenerbahçe adventure, Mourinho, who took over the Portuguese giant Benfica at the start of the season, fell far from the championship race. At Benfica, which is 7 points behind leader Porto in the Portuguese Premier League and has been wounded in the championship race, Mourinho's future has begun to be discussed. The 69 points collected after 29 weeks and the third-place position have shaken the experienced coach's seat in Portugal.
NEWCASTLE UNITED CLAIMS
According to talkSPORT's report; Newcastle United, which has experienced a major disappointment this season in the Premier League and has fallen to 14th place, has put Mourinho on its radar. The club's Saudi owners, who plan to part ways with current manager Eddie Howe, are looking for a name that will both put the team into the European competition and increase the club's global brand value. In this direction, it was stated that Mourinho will be placed at the helm of the team in the new season.
GREEN LIGHT FOR A RETURN TO ENGLAND
It is stated that the 63-year-old technical man, who left deep marks in the Premier League with teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham before, is warm to the idea of returning to England. After leaving Fenerbahçe, Mourinho, who signed a contract with Benfica until the end of the 2026-2027 season, has special termination clauses in his contract that could pave the way for this transfer. If an agreement is reached, Mourinho will take the field at the helm of an English club for the fourth time in his career.
