Mourinho, 60, was recently fired by Roma after being in charge of the team for 138 matches. Reports suggest that the former Manchester United and Chelsea coach is scheduled to meet with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis in the upcoming week. This news comes after it was rumored that Mourinho rejected an offer from a club in Saudi Arabia. While Mourinho would be interested in continuing his coaching career in Italy, he is believed to be seeking a club with greater financial resources than Roma. At Roma, financial limitations hindered Mourinho’s ability to achieve his goals. Interestingly, Mourinho has established a pattern in his coaching record of not being able to remain at a club for more than three years, a trend that has persisted for the past decade.
