Chelsea legend and former Manchester United and Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is being lined up for an additional Premier League job.<\/p>\n
Mourinho remains to be a much-loved figure at Stamford Bridge having won three Premier League titles across his two spells answerable for Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The 63-year-old later won the Europa League and EFL Cup at Manchester United before an underwhelming stint at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Mourinho has had three managerial roles since leaving the Premier League, managing Roma, Fenerbahce and his current club, Benfica.<\/p>\n
An extended-awaited return to Benfica has not proved successful, nonetheless, and ex-Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has even been linked with replacing his fellow Portuguese this summer.<\/p>\n
Mourinho still has admirers across the globe despite quite a few disappointing managerial spells and has even been linked with a return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
In response to talkSPORT<\/a>, Newcastle United bosses would consider appointing Mourinho in the event that they sack under-fire manager Eddie Howe.<\/p>\n Ex-England manager Howe has enjoyed a largely impressive spell answerable for the Magpies and led Newcastle to the Carabao Cup trophy last season.<\/p>\n But Newcastle have slipped to 14th within the Premier League this season, sparking huge speculation over Howe\u2019s future at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n If Howe is moved on, Newcastle\u2019s Saudi owners are believed to be keen to rent a big-name with former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini one other contender.<\/p>\n Bournemouth\u2019s Andoni Iraola, who’s leaving the Cherries at the tip of the season, would also reportedly be \u2018open\u2019 to taking on at Newcastle.<\/p>\n Discussing Mourinho\u2019s possible arrival at St James\u2019 Park, Newcastle fan Charlotte Robson told talkSPORT: \u2018I don\u2019t think he gives himself very long as a manager, but perhaps we don\u2019t need him to remain long run.<\/p>\n \u2018Perhaps we just need two great years with one after which he leaves, and we\u2019re in a rather higher position than we\u2019re in now. I feel that\u2019s normal in the trendy game.<\/p>\n \u2018It depends what we’re searching for. Is it someone who desires to kick on in Europe or who desires to stay longer?<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m sure the board understands what they need from a managerial profile.\u00a0Eddie Howe\u00a0has worked for Newcastle because he\u2019s so risk-averse, but that\u2019s not working anymore, so perhaps we do have to put some more coal in the hearth.\u2019<\/p>\n Newcastle return to Premier League motion on Saturday against Bournemouth, while Mourinho\u2019s Benfica tackle Portuguese champions Sporting.<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the newest news on ![\"Newcastle](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2263323639.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=594\")
