Newcastle United and West Ham United have received a major boost in their pursuit of Jose Mourinho as he is keen on a return to England.
According to a report from TBR Football, Jose Mourinho is keen on a return to the Premier League in 2025. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has been linked with the Newcastle United and West Ham United jobs.
Mourinho took charge at Fenerbahce in the summer, but it seems he could soon part ways with the Turkish outfit after calling out the standards of the league in a recent interview. It has been seen by many as the beginning of the end of his time at the club.
The Portuguese manager is one of the best in the world, and he has had a lot of success in the English top flight in the past. While his spell at Tottenham did not go according to plans, his work with Manchester United and Chelsea has not been forgotten.
He recently talked about returning to manage a team in England. The former Real Madrid boss suggested that his next job would be at a lower-tier Premier League club during a press conference. While those comments were laughed off back then, recent reports suggest Mourinho is seriously considering returning to the English top flight in 2025.
Mourinho to return to the Premier League?
The Fenerbahce boss has been a target of Newcastle’s PIF for a long while. They want to take him to the Saudi Pro League, but he is more interested in managing the Magpies. While Eddie Howe’s job is well secured for now, his position at the club will depend on where the club finishes this season.
If Newcastle fail to secure a European spot, they could part ways with Howe and look to bring in Mourinho to help fulfil their lofty ambitions. He has also been linked with the West Ham job, where Julen Lopetegui is struggling to get the desired results.
Despite spending a significant sum to bolster his squad in the summer, the Spanish manager has not been able to get his ideas across to the West Ham players. The Hammers could look to part ways with him and then lure Mourinho back to the Premier League.
