Jose Mourinho Could Be Offered Managerial Lifeline By Former Club

  Jose Mourinho Could Be Offered Managerial Lifeline By Former Club By Oluwayemi Omolagba Jose Mourinho could be offered a lifeline at the top of European football by former employers Inter Milan, according to Don Balon. With Mourinho having been sacked by Tottenham last week, you could be forgiven if your first thought was that he had exhausted all of his options at the top of the game. Mourinho, who is still one of the greatest managers ever, has seen his struggles deepen as the game as moved on. He’s at risk of being left behind. However, that’s not to say that his stock doesn’t remain high in the game. As per Don Balon, Serie A champions-elect Inter Milan are a possible destination for Mourinho. Antonio Conte has done a fine job with Inter, but as we all know, he’s a polarising character. He doesn’t tend to stick around too long at clubs before his relationship with the hierarchy deteriorates. If he were to depart, Don Balon believe that Mourinho would be willing to take a pay cut to ensure that he’d be the man to take Inter forward. Still on Mourinho, Jorge Mendes is to help Jose Mourinho secure his next job in the Premier League, with Wolves being mentioned as a possibility. After his sacking by Tottenham, you get the impression that Mourinho has exhausted all of his options at the top end of the Premier League table. His past affiliation with Chelsea and Spurs rule him out of the running for the Arsenal job, while any ex-Manchester United manager is not going to be replacing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. If The Special One is to remain in England, compromises may have to be made. As per Don Balon, a drop down to mid-table could be on the cards for the Portuguese. Don Balon report that, with doubts emerging over the future of Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux, Mourinho could take the Wolves job ahead of next season. It’s believed that his agent, Jorge Mendes, is working on it, and with his close ties to Wolves, ties which have helped them assemble their squad, this could actually come to fruition. Mourinho taking the Wolves job would be a pretty clear indicator of how the mighty have fallen, but perhaps he could do without the expectations that come with managing a top club.
