Jose Mourinho is one of the names being considered to succeed Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, according to Max Eberl, sporting director of Bayern Munich. Since his dismissal in January, the former Roma manager has remained unemployed.
Chelsea supporters chanted his name during the 2-2 draw with Brentford two weeks ago, demonstrating his continued popularity at SW6. Online fans have also been outspoken in their praise for the Special One, saying that a younger crop of players would benefit much from his mindset.
The odds of a comeback are slim for the 61-year-old, who hasn’t had much success at home since leaving Chelsea for the second time in 2015. That doesn’t mean other elite teams aren’t keeping an eye on him, either.

Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, is Bayern’s top target, but they won’t be the only team wanting to switch managers in the summer. After less than 18 months in leadership, Tuchel has announced his resignation, and the next head, Eberl, has been transparent about the search.
He cryptically remarked, “There are more than four names on our list, but far from 40.” Since it is our responsibility to consider all options, some extremely strange individuals are on the list.
After winning the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie at Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Inter, Mourinho has only yet to manage in Germany and France out of the top five leagues.
Mourinho continues to be a compelling option for many outside of the Blues, as Mauricio Pochettino faces mounting pressure to turn things around.
