Jose Mourinho contacts intermediaries over Newcastle United position - Report

According to a report from The Guardian, Jose Mourinho will be targeting the Newcastle United job should Eddie Howe leave or be sacked at any point in the future.

The Portuguese manager made it clear a couple of weeks ago that he intended on returning to the Premier League, preferably with a team not in a European competition.

Since this remark, it’s understood that Mourinho has since reached out to intermediaries to be informed should the Newcastle job become available at any point.  

It’s safe to say Howe won’t be leaving any time soon, especially if his own accord with the England role now taken, after a huge couple of wins against Arsenal and Chelsea proving why he’s still the best man for the job.

While historically an incredible manager with a strong connection to Sir Bobby Robson, Mourinho’s style of football simply doesn’t get results in the modern game and whoever Howe’s successor may be should be an exciting forward thinking manager.
