Jose Mourinho wants Newcastle job! The Special One eyeing Premier League return with Magpies if they sack Eddie Howe

Super Lig

Kayserispor

Fenerbahce

Premier League

Newcastle

West Ham

<p>The charismatic Portuguese tactician is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-vintage-jose-mourinho-fenerbahce-boss-sprints-onto-pitch-botches-kneeslide-wild-celebration-last-second-winner-trabzonspor/blta913bf36e0a0903c" target="_blank">currently employed in Turkey</a>, but has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-fine-ban-incredible-smells-bad-rant-fenerbahce-win-trabzonspor/blt7a9f22d571ca0f48" target="_blank">airing his frustration on a regular basis</a> at Fenerbahce. His latest rant saw the 61-year-old say: "Nobody abroad wants to watch the Turkish league. Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French league, they have the German league, they have the Portuguese league, they have the Dutch league. Why should they see this? It’s too grey, it’s too dark, smells bad. But that’s my job, and I will give everything to my job, to my club."</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It remains to be seen how long Mourinho will be committed to that post for. According to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/nov/08/jose-mourinho-wants-newcastle-if-eddie-howe-leaves" target="_blank"><em>The Guardian</em></a>, the ex-Real Madrid, Inter and Tottenham coach is eager to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-warned-gimmick-appointments-ex-red-dragons-boss-biggest-problem-manager-phil-parkinson/blt8904a27ca5766d0d" target="_blank">retrace steps to England</a>. He has requested that he be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sos-call-jose-mourinho-newcastle-told-why-ex-chelsea-man-utd-boss-perfect-trophy-hunt-revolution-back/bltdb7ba4e1cc2fb148" target="_blank">kept informed of any potential openings at Newcastle</a>, with Eddie Howe facing the odd question of his future there.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Howe has no intention of stepping down at St James’ Park and has said of reaching three years in charge of the Magpies: "It feels good to still be here. I’m so pleased with how it’s going, so pleased to be in this position and still dreaming. I’m happy with the progress but you always want more and we haven’t got the one thing we wanted when we came in which was a trophy. That was the dream, that’s still the dream and still driving us. We believe we can achieve extraordinary things and that’s the focal point driving us every day. Qualifying for Europe again is one of our aims this season."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Mourinho has previously met with Newcastle chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with the pair reported to have stayed in touch. It may be that a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/london-is-home-jose-mourinho-sets-timeframe-on-return-to-premier-league-with-capital-city-club-following-chelsea-and-tottenham-spells/bltd3bbeda9e4fd3836" target="_blank">managerial door swings open on Tyneside</a> if Howe is unable to match the trophy-chasing and top-four ambition of his expectant ownership team.</p>
