English Press: Mourinho Wants Benitez's Anfield Job
The Sunday Express, the self-styled "World's Greatest Newspaper",
has declared Jose Mourinho a serious candidate for the Liverpool
job.
Rafael Benitez, the current incumbent, is under increasing pressure
thanks to difficult starts both domestically and on the European
stage, with past glories such as a Champions League win seemingly
not enough to guarantee his tenure.
As such, Mourinho, who is eager for a return to management, is said
to be watching the situation with interest.
The paper quotes a 'source in Portugal' as saying, "There's no
question Liverpool is a club Jose would like to manage."
Jose has in the past said that he's "like to come back later" to
the Premiership, but also added that he had his sights set on an
Italian club.
As such, an immediate return to the English game may seem an
unlikely prospect. Yet there are factors that could tip the balance
towards an Anfield coup.
Liverpool remain one of England's biggest clubs in terms of
transfer potential; they are unquestionably "Big Four" material and
have recent pedigree in the continental game.
They're arguably a fair slice bigger than Valencia, too, whom he
expressed no interest in managing despite a recent vacancy at the
Mestalla.
Whether Benitez can weather the current storm may play a huge part
in proceedings, too, but above all, Mourinho is said to be keeping
tabs on the goings-on at Anfield.
