Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho has clarified his stance on returning to the Premier League one day. The Portuguese coach was furious after being sent off during his side’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United in the Europa League. Mourinho was complaining about the lack of a penalty for his team when he received a straight red from the referee.
“I think the best thing to do is to leave Fenerbahçe and go to a club that does not play UEFA competitions,” he said after the match. “I’m ready to leave if you find an English club at the bottom of the table that needs a manager in two years. And I don’t want to say more.”
Mourinho does not want to play it safe
These comments made by The Special One caused a lot of talk. So, the person concerned wanted to come back to it to affirm that he was not speaking at face value. This week, he added to Sky Sports: “Even though the Premier League is the best competition in the world, I would never go there to manage a club in the relegation zone. I’m never going to manage one of those teams.”
As a reminder, in England, Mourinho has already coached Manchester United, Chelsea (twice) and Tottenham.
