If I were Mourinho I’d pack it in, go into a TV career or look at International football instead. He’s earned that luxury. Maybe he’ll get a chance at Portugal’s NT where he would be 100% respected.
I just don’t think he can relate to, and manage today’s footballers at Elite club level. It’s a different era.
There’s no shame in that. Just as players have to hang up their boots, managers will also have to call time eventually. Maybe he’s best just calling it a day and enjoying his life.

Let me put it another way.
Would Madrid, Barca, Juve, Bayern, PSG or England’s top 6 hire him? Probably not.
Can you see him happy at a lower level club, scrapping for CL qualification and with all he’s achieved previously? I just don’t think he needs that hassle, and nor would I wish it on him either.
