'Why would Special One go to Saudi?' Mourinho rejects Al Shabab offer

Topic Mourinho (61) has turned down the offer to manage a Saudi club.

The Evening Standard reported on Wednesday that "Mourinho, who was sacked by AS Roma, has turned down a job offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Shabab. Mourinho prefers the European league."

The Saudi League is a land of opportunity. Al Ittifaq made headlines when they signed 'Liverpool legend' Steven Gerrard for a whopping 254 million won per year. If Mourinho had gone to Saudi Arabia, he could have earned as much as Gerrard.

The Evening Standard reported, "Mourinho has a strong desire to stay in Europe. 온라인카지노 Napoli are now interested in him and negotiations are ongoing."

As Mourinho boarded the plane to Barcelona, there was speculation that he was being tipped to succeed Xavi. Newcastle, Porto, and the Brazilian national team have also been mentioned as possible destinations.

Despite being nicknamed 'Special One', Mourinho is still a highly coveted manager.
