Former Manchester United and Fenerbahce coach, Jose Mourinho, has stated that he is open to coach any team at the bottom of the table in England for two years.
Speaking to Skysports after his team shared the spoils with Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday night, the Portuguese gaffer said, “The best thing I have to do is when I leave Fenerbahce, I go to a club that doesn’t play in the UEFA competition.
“So, if any club in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I’m ready to go.”
The former Chelsea boss to vent his frustration after he was shown a red card during the game on Thursday, mocked the referee’s red card decision after a heated dispute.
“He told us something incredible. He told me that at the same time he could see the action in the box and my behavior on the touchline.
“I congratulate him because he is absolutely incredible, his peripheral vision. During the game, 100 mph, he had one eye on the penalty situation, and he had one eye on the bench and my behaviour. So that’s the explanation he gave me. That’s why he’s one of the best referees in the world.”
Mourinho was previously given a four-game European ban for abusing the referee when his Roma side lost in the Europa League final to Sevilla in May 2023, while also citing that incident as a reason he wouldn’t be appealing his red card on Thursday.
“If I appeal, I will get six months. Since the Sevilla-Roma final there is nothing to do.”
Man United led early from Christian Eriksen’s 15th-minute goal only to see Youssef En-Nesyri equalize in the 49th, heading home unmarked from close range on a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin.
The result keeps Fenerbahce unbeaten with five points from three games, but Mourinho said he believed his team should have gotten more from the game.
“It would be fair to say that we did an extraordinary match and we were better than them, so a good result for Man United.
“My boys played an amazing match. We played against a team that is at a superior level to us. We finished the game with a centre-back playing at right-back and a right-back at left-back. We had to do a crazy puzzle, but our performance was extraordinary, and I couldn’t ask for anything more from the players,” he said.
Mourinho led United to win the Europa League in 2017 during his stint at Old Trafford.
