Roma boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly received an eye-watering offer to manage in Saudi Arabia as he continues to be linked with a return to Chelsea for a third spell in charge at Stamford Bridge next season. The 60-year-old has been mentioned in connection with the Blues since Graham Potter was sacked earlier this month, with Frank Lampard set to remain in the dugout on an interim basis until the end of the campaign.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is fully expected to wave goodbye to Lampard in the summer before appointing a new permanent manager, with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique said to be among the early frontrunners as things stand. Mourinho has also been linked with the west Londoners over the last few weeks, although it seems as though he could decide to go elsewhere before Lampard’s time in charge is up.
Mourinho has received a lucrative nine-figure contract offer to ditch Roma and ply his managerial trade in Saudi Arabia for a period of two years, according to Corriere dello Sport. It is said that he has been promised a total salary of around £105million to be spread over the duration of the agreement, which would see him take charge of either Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal or the Saudi national team.
