Jose Mourinho has managed Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho has claimed that he wants to return to the Premier League, and has been connected with Everton. Mourinho is widely recognized as one of the top managers since the turn of the century. He has won eight league titles with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, as well as two Champions League titles (Porto and Inter).
The Portuguese is now in charge of Turkish team Fenerbahce, who will meet one of his previous clubs, Manchester United, in the Europa League tonight. Mourinho was fired in December 2018 after two and a half years in charge of Manchester United, where he led the club to the EFL Cup and Europa League. Mourinho also spent one and a half years at Tottenham Hotspur, leaving in April 2021. He has been out of the Premier League since, but his legacy is ingrained in English football history.
The former Real Madrid manager has recently been mentioned as a potential Everton manager, with Sean Dyche’s contract expiring at the conclusion of the season. The Friedkin Group (TFG), future owners of the Toffees, signed Mourinho as AS Roma’s manager in May 2021, and he led the club to the inaugural Europa Conference League title in his first season. However, he was fired in January and later stated that he was ‘eliminated” by someone who knows little about football’ in reference to TFG chairman Dan Friedkin.
He is now the manager of Fenerbahce, and he will aim to deal another blow to former club United and current head coach Erik Ten Hag. The Red Devils sit 12th in the Premier League and have drawn both Europa League games thus far. Mourinho feels United are better than their results suggest, and he wants them to be regular opponents in the future if he returns to coach in England. At his pre-match press conference, Mourinho joked, “Maybe you English guys believe I’m bluffing or playing mind games. I’m not playing anything; they have a better team than the results indicate.
“I studied them as much as I could. We watched everything in the Premier League, Twente, and Porto; there is employment there. They will succeed, sooner or later. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, I will return to the Premier League and face them. At the moment, they are only my opponents for one match.”
