Jose Mourinho hints at management return as he's spotted meeting with Newcastle chairman

Jose Mourinho has expressed a desire to return to football management as soon as possible, as he was spotted meeting to Newcastle United's chairman at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Mourinho has been out of work since mid-January when he was sacked by Italian side Roma, and since then speculation has swirled with suggestions of where he could manage next.

The 61-year-old has a glittering career in the dugout, winning silverware with Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Roma, as well as the Champions League for both Porto and Inter Milan.

The Portuguese is one of the greatest football coaches of the modern era, and will surely have many more jobs before retiring from the dugout.

Mourinho has been in Saudi Arabia over the course of the weekend, attending Anthony Joshua's boxing victory against Francis Ngannou.

And he also appeared on the grid of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which is held on the streets of Jeddah, and was won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

Indeed, the Special One was spotted shaking hands with shake hands with Newcastle chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan on the grid in a brief meeting.

Mourinho has previously spoken of his desire to one day work in Saudi Arabia, after the Saudi Pro League's rise over the past 18 months as stars from Europe's top leagues have flocked there with the huge financial incentives on offer.

But on his immediate future, Mourinho confirmed he is eager to make a return to football management, admitting he would take a job tomorrow if it appealed to him and was the right opportunity.

As per talkSPORT, Mourinho said: "I'm not in rest mode, I want to work. I just don't want to make the wrong decision.

"I have to wait for the right one and the one that motivates me. If I could work tomorrow, I would work tomorrow.

"I hope [to be back managing soon]. Roma was great to get to two European finals in two years and that's hard. But now I have to wait for the right opportunity.

"I want to work tomorrow if possible, but I don't want to make the wrong decision."

It remains to be seen where Mourinho ends up next, but it's clear he is not done with football management and will undoubtedly be back sooner or later.
