Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho wants to take over at Newcastle United if Eddie Howe leaves the Premier League club, according to reports.
The Portuguese manaager took over as Fenerbahce manager in the summer after leaving Serie A side Roma in January.
“Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French league, they have the German league, they have the Portuguese league, they have the Dutch league. ‘In another sign of his itchy feet Mourinho was on charm offensive when United were in Istanbul for their Europa League game last month, greeting old colleagues and English journalists in the manner of long-lost friends.
“I think as a player, you’ve just got to weigh up your options. He doesn’t need to rush into signing a new contract, and, when he did sign, there was a sense of optimism that Newcastle were going to be the new kid on the block when it came to winning trophies and competing with the best in the Premier League. That hasn’t quite happened for them, and I don’t think it will.
