Newcastle United Legend Alan Shearer has predicted that Fenerbahce’s manager Jose Mourinho will likely return to the Premier League.
In a recent interview, the Premier League all-time top goal scorer disclosed that the ‘special one’ has shown signs of returning to manage a team in the English top flight.
“He creates headlines, whether that’s for winning trophies or being brutally honest as he was at the weekend when he said, ‘nobody watches the Turkish league’, Shearer said.
Recall that Jose Mourinho joined who joined Fenerbahce from AS Roma has previously had successful stints in England with Chelsea and Manchester United.
“He is box office, and I think there’s always a message he’s trying to get across in the background so it wouldn’t surprise me if this was him edging for a move back to the Premier League.
The Premier League legend predicted either Everton or Newcastle as potential clubs Mourinho could coach on his return.
“Where could he go? Let us not forget he was recently at Roma, who are now close to their purchase of Everton – is there a subliminal message in there for what his future holds? With his record, any club in the Premier League would always be interested in him, however, he isn’t scared of telling it like it is at the football club, so he’s going to tell it like it is and he’s not afraid of causing chaos,
“It wouldn’t surprise me if we see him back in the Premier League within the next 12 months. We know he’s always spoken very highly of Newcastle, and the link comes with his connection to Sir Bobby Robson. He’s always complimented the stadium, the atmosphere and the fans thanks to that link, but Eddie Howe is rightfully going nowhere at this moment in time”, he continued.
Mourinho’s Fenerbahce side lost 3-1 to Az Alkmaar in a Thursday Europa League fixture and it remains to be seen if a Premier League return is on the cards for the ‘special one’.
