Former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly considering a dramatic return to the Premier League, with Newcastle United emerging as his top target.
Currently managing Turkish side Fenerbahce, Mourinho is believed to be watching developments closely at Newcastle, where current manager Eddie Howe is under increasing pressure. Sources indicate that Mourinho’s representatives are in contact with intermediaries to stay informed about any potential managerial opening at the club.
Mourinho, who maintains a positive relationship with Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, is reportedly hoping to leverage this connection to secure a return to England. The renowned manager sees Newcastle as a promising club with the potential to challenge Premier League giants like Manchester City and Liverpool.
While Howe led Newcastle to Champions League qualification in 2023, the team has struggled with consistency this season. After finishing seventh last year, the Magpies currently sit in 11th place after 10 games, sparking speculation about Howe’s future.
Meanwhile, Mourinho’s Fenerbahce side is in third place in the Turkish league, trailing leaders Galatasaray by five points. The Portuguese manager, known for his experience and winning mentality, would bring a wealth of Premier League expertise to Newcastle should he make the move back to England.
