'He loves England!' - Jose Mourinho backed to make stunning Premier League return as ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole reveals secrets on 'Special One's adoration of London

<p>Despite being tasked with halting Galatasaray’s domestic dominance when he arrived last summer, the 'Special One' is struggling to meet expectations. With <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-sensational-jose-mourinho-return-club-ready-sack-ange-postecoglou-shocking-premier-league-campaign/blt1d37e7890721a278#cs9826346ebb4a862b" target="_blank">Fenerbahce trailing their fierce rivals by five points </a>in the Super Lig title race, questions about Mourinho’s future have grown louder.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Among those reportedly interested in Mourinho’s services are Scottish heavyweights Rangers. After parting ways with Philippe Clement, the Glasgow-based club has installed Barry Ferguson as caretaker manager until the end of the current campaign. However, they are keen on appointing a high-profile, permanent successor, and Mourinho’s name has surfaced as a dream candidate.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While rumours swirl about Mourinho's next destination, former Chelsea and England star Joe Cole has thrown his weight behind a Premier League return for his old boss.  Speaking passionately on <em>TNT Sports </em>about Mourinho’s enduring affection for the English capital, Cole suggested that London remains a major pull factor for the Portuguese tactician.</p><p>He said: "Genuinely, I think he's a genius. I really do hope we see him in the Premier League again. He still's got it and I would love to have him back on these shows. He loves England. He loves London. Whichever club he comes in, will get a real bounce. I think Jose will stay for the next five, 10 years. But three-four years, you are going to win something, he's your man."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">“I think he’s a genius. I’d love to see him back in the Premier League.”<br><br>Joe Cole believes we will see Jose Mourinho back in England as he reminisces on Chelsea's 2004/05 campaign - conceding only 15 league goals 🤩<br><br>🎙 <a href="https://twitter.com/lynseyhipgrave1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@lynseyhipgrave1</a> | 📺 <a href="https://twitter.com/tntsports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tntsports</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/discoveryplusUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@discoveryplusUK</a> <a href="https://t.co/MYxD8lo1L5">pic.twitter.com/MYxD8lo1L5</a></p>— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1916082286883152327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2025</a></blockquote>
