Jose Mourinho (Reuters)
Will Jose Mourinho return to the fore? According to reports, it may be so when it is claimed that the professional director of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Campos, contacted the Portuguese and offered him the position of coach. Current City of Lights coach Christophe Galtier is under pressure after three successive defeats in all competitions and Campos has contacted 60-year-old Mourinho about the job, according to Foot Mercato.
Remember, this is not the first time that the ‘special one’ has been linked to the Parisians when he was reported as an optional candidate to replace Mauricio Pochettino after he finished his journey at the Parc de France. Mourinho is known to currently coach Roma, but is reportedly a “fan” of PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe, who has scored 25 goals in 27 games this season.
In addition, Campos is a fan of the Portuguese, while president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also very fond of him, although Zinedine Zidane is his first candidate to replace Galati. Any potential move to PSG would see Mourinho reunited with Joao Sacramento, who spent time as his assistant manager at Tottenham and Roma.
However, while it is claimed that Campos has made direct contact with Mourinho, there are currently no discussions between Paris and Roma – where the ‘special’ has a contract until 2024. In any case, the relationship between Al Khelaifi and Roma’s American owner, Dan Friedkin, is considered good.
