Alongside Neville, Carragher, Keane and Souness, Jose Mourinho has been on our screens on a regular basis bashing the Premier League’s under performers, as well as allowing Keano some leg-room for his viral one-line zingers.
Now it seems the double Champions League winner has tired of his punditry duties and is set to re-introduce himself to Premier League management.
The managerial legend has been out of management since December 2018 after a dire final season at Manchester United. Whilst his reign resulted in a Europa League and EFL Cup during a turbulent spell, his Old Trafford tenure was marred for some bemusing press conferences as well as his ‘Mourinho-esque’ views on attacking, fluid football.
According to The Sun, the Setubal born gaffer has his sights on either Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal as possible destinations.

Both clubs are seeing unrest at the moment. Whilst Spurs are experiencing changing room difficulties with question marks over players continued dedication to the cause, Pochettino included, Arsenal have an altogether more toxic situation, with the fans calling for managerial blood following some insipid displays of late.
A disgraceful late-match booing of current captain Granit Xhaka at the weekend compounding the state of the club nicely.
As questions were raised as to the former Porto and Inter manager’s next port of call following his Manchester United dismissal, with a return to Real Madrid briefly a possibility, Mourinho has reiterated his passion for English football on numerous occasions.
Has Mou continues to reject such offers from former club Benfica and a £90million proposal from Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande, it seems clear that a return to a big English based team is likely.
Who would he prefer?
Perhaps the questions should be, which set of fans would prefer him? Both Arsenal and Spurs have pushed an attack first agenda over the last decade. Recruiting Jose could lead to a rather different style for respective teams. With that in mind, will fans put up with ‘Mourinho-ball’.
Perhaps if a trophy came their way they could be decided. Despite their Champions League heroics last term, Pochettino has been unable to bring a trophy home to his side of North London. Equally, Gunners fans are feeling trophy starved with their last Premier League crown coming in 2004.
Currently the white half of North London hold the nucleus of a decent back-line. Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen despite constant links away from the club are still Spurs players – such a sold foundation will make Mourinho excited from the off.
