Jose Mourinho tipped to take 'attractive' Premier League job after damaging Fenerbahce defeat

Legendary manager Jose Mourinho has been tipped to make a stunning return to the Premier League.

Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid boss Mourinho is now in charge of Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce.

However, things are not going as well as people might have hoped, Fenerbahce are currently trailing Galatasaray by eight points with just four matches left to play in the Turkish Super Lig.

On Sunday, Mourinho's men were beaten 1-0 by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas, with Gedson Fernandes scoring the winner in the 44th minute.

Recently, Mourinho was tipped to make a stunning return to the Premier League and take charge of newly-promoted Leeds United, who recently won the Championship.

Speaking on beIN Sports, Richard Keys and Andy Gray were speaking about current Leeds boss Daniel Farke's future.

Gray said: "If I’m the owner of Leeds and I’ve put my money into this project, and I employed a coach to get us out of the Championship, and he’s done that, and I think for the future of the club: ‘I can get a better coach, a more experienced coach, someone who I think can give us success in the Premier League’, I would make a change.

"I’d feel terribly sorry for Daniel Farke, because he’s done fantastically well Keysey. Lots of people will say, ‘He deserves a chance, he deserves a chance’. Those three coaches were given a chance at the bottom of the league this year."

When discussing who could replace Farke, Keys said: "Mourinho would set Leeds on fire.

"They would not go down, let’s get that straight, and I they would be competitive at the top end in season two. But there’s no move on that at the moment, just a rumour."

To which Gray simply replied: "We think."

Writing for The Telegraph, journalist Sam Wallace hinted that the Leeds job would be an 'attractive option' to Mourinho.

However, he also added that 'most clubs regard this as a younger man’s game'.

After winning the Championship, Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe gave his backing to Farke.

He said: "My plan was always to come and speak to you all right after the season concluded, and so that time is now, and I want to tell you all that I’m very excited to run it back with Daniel."
