CJose Mourinho is unlikely to remain without a job for much longer. After his dismissal from Roma a few days ago, the Portuguese coach has prepared everything to be the new youth coach. In Saudi Arabia, the Setubal native will face his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he coaches at Real Madrid.
A source at the club confirmed to the newspaper Sports The coach from Setubal has already given the green light to move to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and his arrival in the Middle Eastern country depends on the approval of the Saudi League Contracting Committee.
Saad Al-Laziz, Chairman of the Contracts Committee and Executive Director of the Saudi League, was following the negotiations between the two parties, but he has not provided a specific answer yet.
Al-Shabab's idea is for the Saudi leader to make a final decision before departing for Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, where the winter training camp will be held.
If Mourinho's move to Saudi Arabia is confirmed, the Portuguese coach will have two gifts at his disposal. Politano, the Italian Napoli midfielder, and goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe are close to strengthening the youth ranks.
