Al Hilal, a member of Saudi Arabia's first division, intends to bring "Special One" Jose Mourinho (62) to the position where Jorge Jesús (70) was replaced.

TalkSport UK said on the 5th (Korea time), "Al-Hilal has begun to appoint a successor. Mourinho, coach Marco Silva Fulham and coach Nunu Santo Nottingham have been listed as candidates. There has been no official approach yet, and the appointment of a head coach will be aimed at the FIFA (International Football Federation) Club World Cup, which will be held from June 15."
Al-Hilal said on the club's official channel on the 3rd that he had terminated his contract with Jeju's manager. Al-Hilal, who was led by Jesus, beat Gwangju FC of the K League 1 on April 26 by 7-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 AFC Champions League, but was eliminated from the tournament after losing 1-3 to Al-Ahli on April 30. In the aftermath of the loss to a rival team in the same Saudi league, Al-Hilal decided to break up with Jesus on the 3rd. Although it was announced that it was a mutual agreement, it is widely believed that it was actually a replacement.

Now, Al Hilal is seeking to appoint a successor, and it seems that he has set a head coach with English Premier League (EPL) experience as a candidate. Mourinho, Silva and Santo have all been nominated, but Mourinho is expected to be the most realistic alternative. Fenerbahce, led by Mourinho, remains in second place in the first division of this season's Turkey. With 23 wins, six draws and three losses (75 points), he is eight points shorter than Galatasaray (83 points), the leader of the league. As a result, talks are gaining traction that Fenerbahce will replace its head coach after the end of this season.

Mourinho is currently staying in Turkiye, but he has won the UEFA Champions League twice. He led F.C. Port, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and AS Roma, winning as many as 26 trophies as managers. He won the UEFA Conference League title as a member of AS Roma in the 2021-2022 season. 메이저놀이터
