At the same time that a four-person shortlist has been announced for one of the most important managing positions in international football, Jose Mourinho may be on the verge of making a surprising managerial move.
A famous management career has been had by Mourinho, who has worked in a number of leagues around Europe.
After establishing his reputation in Porto, where he was a champion of the Champions League, he was able to get a transfer to Chelsea, which is located in England.
Prior to earning a third Premier League championship when he returned for a second stint at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho had already won two titles during his time there.
Additionally, the Portuguese player has had success in Italy and Spain, where he has successfully won league titles with Inter Milan and Real Madrid, respectively.
He was also responsible for Inter’s victory in the Champions League.
However, as of this moment, the former manager of Manchester United and Tottenham has not yet accepted a position with an international organisation. On the other hand, that may happen.
This is due to the fact that Mourinho is one of the contenders for the positions in Brazil.
Globo reports that the Brazil Football Confederation is reportedly considering employing Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Jorge Jesus, and Abel Ferreira as potential candidates.
Because he is fluent in Portuguese, Brazil would be an excellent destination for the 62-year-old manager, who is now in charge of Fenerbahce after being appointed to the position in the summer of last year.
Having been released from his position at AS Roma, Steve Sidwell, who had been signed by Mourinho at Chelsea, expressed his support for his former boss to pursue a career in international management.
“There’s a lot of talk about a national coaching role, as a manager for one of the countries,” he explained to reporters.
“I believe that he still possesses the hunger and enthusiasm, as well as the drive to win further championships. Despite the fact that he is a natural winner, I could see him making a move into national management.
I believe that he is most comfortable in the day-to-day, since that is where he comes to life during sessions. As soon as the clipboard is brought out, it is always a pleasure. Day in and day out, he is required to satisfy that hunger, that yearning, and that burning sensation.
“I’m sure he’s got offers but I think he might try something new and he’s not getting any younger, so I think he could go in that direction.”
