José Mourinho's career could take a new turn. On the bench of Fenerbahçe since June 2024, the Portuguese coach (62) is cited for a position that it would be difficult for him to refuse. According to Globothe “Special One” is indeed one of the few candidates targeted by the Brazilian football confederation (CBF) to take over the reins of the Seleçao.
There would only be four to appear on the short-list of Brazilian leaders: Jorge Jesus, Abel Ferreira, Carlo Ancelotti and him. If the CFB's dream would be to enlist the Italian, the contract which binds it to Real Madrid until 2026 constitutes a major obstacle. As for the other two, they will not be available before the end of the Club World Cup this summer.
José Mourinho checks all the boxes
However following the recent dismissal of Dorival Junior, after the rout suffered against Argentina (1-4), Brazil needs a coach as soon as possible. Fourth of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American area, the teammates of Vinicius Jr. have an appointment with Ecuador and Paraguay, on June 4 and 7. Two matches that will have to be won.
With José Mourinho at the helm? It will depend on his desire or not to stay in Istanbul, where he was at the heart of several controversies this season. As Lusophone, the former double winner of the Champions League, with FC Porto (2004) and Inter Milan (2010), in any case ticks all the boxes to inherit one of the most coveted positions in the world.
