It is no secret that Jose Mourinho has been at home for the most recent period since his departure from Roma. And he is not short of a home now, according to British media Sky Sports. After Mourinho left Roma, he received offers from two teams. But these two teams are not the top teams in the top five leagues and were rejected by Mourinho. At the same time, his name is constantly associated with giants such as Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
It can be said that Mourinho has a good chance of returning to the dugout this summer, and the team he will be in charge of next season may even be a big club. And just now, the well-known journalist Jacobs said that Mourinho recently received another offer. However, this offer comes from the Saudi league. Due to the fact that the Qatar club, which is owned by Saudi Aramco, one of the four major Saudi conglomerates, is about to be promoted to the Saudi league next season. They lead the Saudi Premier League this season by nine points and it is only a matter of time before they are promoted to the Saudi Premier League.
On this basis, Saudi Aramco, the capital behind the scenes, hopes to challenge the Saudi sovereign fund, which is a team owned by PIF. They will bring in a large number of stars for the club in this summer transfer window. In addition to this, they also want to invite a famous coach to come and advise. Obviously, Mourinho, who is currently at home, is a good choice. They have now officially offered Mourinho a new contract. Although Jacobs did not disclose the exact amount of the new contract, it is certain that Mourinho has received the highest salary at this stage far more than any other manager.
In fact, it is not difficult to judge Mourinho's salary level by reference. Because among the current football coaches, the highest salary is Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, whose annual salary is more than 30 million euros per year. Apparently Mourinho received an offer higher than that. A salary of more than €30 million is a price to refuse for any manager. If Mourinho accepts this salary, then his contract can be ranked in the top 10 even among players in football, which is indeed an exaggeration.
Jacobs said Mourinho was currently considering. Although he made a lot of money during his coaching career, he did not demand that much from his salary. But how many coaches can refuse a maximum salary in the dugout, and at the same time, the club has made a promise to Mourinho that he will have decision-making power in the summer transfer window. In addition to recruiting some strong players from the local league to join the team. Saudi Aramco will also select 3~4 players from the European league to sign. It can be said that this kind of reinforcement specification is not inferior to Riyadh Victory and Riyadh Crescent.
Saudi Aramco's ultimate goal is to give its club the ability to challenge the traditional Saudi giants. They want to compete with the teams under the banner of another consortium, PIF, and their ambitions are huge. Signing Jose Mourinho as manager was the first step. It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce situation the Saudi league will present next season, with the likes of Riyadh Crescent and Riyadh Victory in the field of battle. In addition, there are teams such as Jeddah United, Jeddah National and Riyadh Youth.
These teams have continued to sign a number of players from Europe in every transfer window, and the overall strength has improved. If the Cadasia club joins the team next season, it will not be difficult for them to build a strong squad in a short period of time in terms of their financial resources. With the right signings, they could even have the opportunity to join the likes of Riyadh Crescent and Victory in the title race, which is very promising. So in your opinion, at this stage, for Mourinho, will he continue to stay in Europe and wait for the invitation of the big clubs, or will he choose to go to the Saudi league to make a lot of money?
