After luring Cristiano Ronaldo to Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian football leaders want to pull off another major coup by recruiting the legendary Jose Mourinho. According to Italian media, the Saudis are offering the current AS Roma boss a two-season contract worth, brace yourself for this, $60 million annually!Although it’s still uncertain whether the offer would be to coach one of the Saudi Pro League clubs of the national team, the Special One must be at least tempted by the bid.##NAJAVA_MECA_7156404##Mourinho’s name has been mentioned in some circles as a potential choice for the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Chelsea. These scenarios are like fantasy football, and neither seems that credible. But the sheer fact Mou’s name is being touted around should suggest that something is happening around him of that he’s looking for a change and a way out from his start-stop adventure in the Italian capital. He’s got another 15 months on his contract at Stadio Olimpico, but if he decides he’s had enough, an agreement would be trashed out quickly and easily.Besides using Jose’s undeniable tactical knowledge and experience, the Saudis wish to use him as an ambassador for the Arabic country – just like they’re using Ronaldo and their newly-found influence in Newcastle United and English football. Having Jose Mourinho to promote your country’s sport, tourism, and identity would be worth a lot more than $120 million – even though the wealth available to football organisations in Saudi Arabia is seemingly unlimited.Jose Mourinho has been contacted to Head Saudi Arabia national team with €120m for 2 years. pic.twitter.com/1JItVtZDan— Mohammed Awal Hudu (@AwalMoHudu) April 6, 2023 Now, if the Saudis attract Mourinho and Lionel Messi – that country would suddenly become a football paradise.Or that’s the idea, at least.
