According to the British media "The Times", due to the imminent expiration of coach Moyes's contract, the Premier League's veteran powerhouse West Ham United intends to invite former Roma coach Jose Mourinho back and is willing to give him a three-year contract.
Although Mourinho led Roma to the European final and won the UEFA Europa League in the first two seasons, Roma's performance in Serie A in the first half of the season did not satisfy club chairman Friedkin, who was sacked after leading the team to a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan.
To be sure, as a well-known coach in international football, Mourinho is not short of a home, and the Saudi team has repeatedly offered the Portuguese a high salary, but he is not moved, and the 61-year-old Mourinho still has a lot of reluctance to play in Europe's top leagues.
Mourinho also said in a previous interview with reporters that he will return this summer after being fully rested and prepared, and it is still unknown which team he will coach. However, according to media disclosures, with the character of the magic bird that does not admit defeat, he will return to the Premier League with a high probability.
It is worth noting that Newcastle, as the upstart of the Premier League, is indeed willing to invite Mourinho to coach. Although the current manager helped Newcastle to relegation and even reached the top four of the Premier League last season, Eddie Howe is clearly still too young, and he led the team to the bottom of the Champions League group stage this season and was eliminated. What is even more unacceptable to the club's management and fans is that after 32 rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle only have 50 points, ranking sixth in the standings, and there is still a gap of 10 points from the Champions League qualification zone.
After leaving Roma, Mourinho has been rumored to have many scandals with Newcastle, and even he himself was found by the media to meet and have a cordial conversation with Newcastle's big boss behind the scenes in the Middle East.
What is certain is that if Mourinho is in charge of Newcastle, he will not only receive extremely high personal treatment, but also have the full support of the club's hierarchy in terms of recruitment.
However, Mourinho has been involved in teams such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Roma in recent years, and he has also summed up an experience that in these quasi-giant teams, there are more or less star players who find it difficult to accept his tactical thinking and management style, and Mourinho is a very strong coach, which often leads to fierce conflicts in the end, resulting in disunity and even collapse in the game. Therefore, Newcastle with Guimaraes and Ithaca are not necessarily Mourinho's best bets.
Of course, if Newcastle choose Jose Mourinho as the coach, their goal is also very clear, that is, they must compete for the Premier League title, which is obviously very much pressure on the Magic Bird who has just taken charge of the team.
According to Mourinho's coaching style, the title fight is certainly the ultimate goal, but suddenly parachuting in a big team and demanding to win the title right away is obviously not something Mourinho can do right away, especially in the extremely competitive Premier League. Therefore, it is better to refuse outright than to end up being fired because of poor grades.
However, if you coach West Ham United is different, although the Hammers are also considered to be the old powerhouses of the Premier League, their historical honors are not dazzling, and they have never even won the Premier League title.
To be sure, the current coach David Moyes' coaching ability is still okay, but the team's current squad is not bad, and the results are still not up to expectations, so the Hammers management is not willing to renew Moyes' contract, but prefers that Mourinho, who is idle at home, can return and lead West Ham United forward.
According to The Times, West Ham's contract with Mourinho is "2+1", and the Magic Bird has the right to choose whether to renew his contract after two years in charge, which also fully reflects the Hammers' respect for the Portuguese coach.
In addition to this, the West Ham management are also willing to increase their investment in the transfer market after Jose Mourinho takes over. Of course, West Ham are also self-aware, and their demand for next season is not to compete for the title, but to hope that the team can qualify for the Champions League under Jose Mourinho.
