Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Mourinho possibly returning to the Premier League. This comes after his stint coaching Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League this season, where he failed to deliver the expected results. Concerns have arisen over whether Mourinho might choose to leave at the end of the season due to his team's poor performance.
Not only has Mourinho struggled to achieve good results with Fenerbahce, but his relationship with the Turkish Super League officials is also quite strained. He has openly criticized the league's referees and organizers on multiple occasions, stating that their management and refereeing are subpar, even going so far as to say it's the worst he's experienced among the leagues he's coached in. Mourinho's actions have undoubtedly angered the higher-ups in the Turkish Super League, making it difficult for him to continue coaching there.
The prospect of Mourinho returning to the Premier League has become a hot topic, particularly with Newcastle United, currently fourth in the league, who have long sought to invite Mourinho to coach. The club's major backer shares a close relationship with Mourinho, who also serves as an advisor to their football academy. They have previously discussed the possibility of collaboration, but Mourinho chose to decline in favor of continuing to coach Roma. However, it now appears that returning to the Premier League is what Mourinho truly desires.
The Premier League offers top-tier referees and a high level of attention, with player salaries and transfer fees significantly higher than those at Fenerbahce or his previous club, Roma. Mourinho has the potential to lead his team to great success there. Additionally, a key factor driving his return is the desire for revenge against Pep Guardiola, who mocked Mourinho this season. If he were to return to the Premier League, they could face each other directly in the future, giving Mourinho the opportunity for retribution.
