Jose Mourinho is now 3/1 to join Newcastle next with reports linking him with the club
Jose Mourinho is currently without a club after being sacked by Roma after two-and-a-half years in charge of the club back in January and since then the rumour mill has been in full flow.
Mourinho will never be without a list of potential jobs while he is a free agent and now bookmakers have shortened his odds of joining Newcastle next into just 3/1.
The Portuguese manager set tongue's wagging last month after being spotted at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix shaking hands with Newcastle chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan.
Tie that meeting in with the pressure that Eddie Howe is seemingly under and this is a big factor as to why Mourinho's odds have slowly tumbled to just 3/1 to join the Toon.
| Jose Mourinho Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Any Saudi Pro League side | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Newcastle | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Chelsea | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Bayern Munich | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Napoli | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says...
Mourinho is still odds-on to join any Saudi Arabian club with meetings suspected last month
Mourinho's time in Saudi Arabia saw him attend multiple sporting events including the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Anthony Joshua v Francis Ngannou bout.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager said on the F1 grid, "I'm not in rest mode, I want to work. I just don't want to make the wrong decision."
Mourinho told MBC Egypt, "I am convinced that I will work there. I don’t know when, but I am pretty sure of it."
