Jose Mourinho declares himself open to managing Celtic or Rangers as Fenerbahce boss talks up the 'passion' of Scottish Premiership football

<p>Mourinho takes charge of Fenerbahce against Rangers in a Europa League last-16 first-leg clash on Thursday night and insists he is happy with the Turkish club for now. But the Portuguese boss said he is a big fan of Scottish football and would not close the door on a move in the future.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mourinho said at a pre-match press conference when quizzed on the possibility of managing Celtic or Rangers: "Why not in the future? People say that the Scottish league is a league of two teams, but it is a league of passion and passion in football is everything for me. To play in empty stadiums or where there is not that fire of the passion, for me that does not make any sense. Celtic and Rangers are big clubs with big fanbases, big emotions, big responsibilities and big expectations, so why not?"</p>

WHAT MOURINHO SAID

<p>Mourinho is on a contract with Fenerbahce that runs until the summer of 2026 but has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-ready-premier-league-return-manage-club-bottom-avoid-uefa-competitions-man-utd-draw-red-card/bltabf4cbaf43dc8209" target="_blank">previously said he would be open to a return to the Premier League</a>. He won three Premier League titles with Chelsea and has also coached Manchester United and Tottenham.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Fenerbahce host Rangers on Thursday and play the return leg in Glasgow on March 13 in what is sure to be a tasty atmosphere inside both stadiums. They sit four points behind Galatasaray in the Super Lig and are next in action domestically against Samsunspor on Sunday 16 March.</p>
