West Ham could be reviving their interest in Jose Mourinho, as the renowned manager is expected to depart from Roma at the end of the current season. Mourinho’s contract with the Italian giants is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2023/24 Serie A season, and it appears unlikely that he will renew it. This decision is influenced, in part, by his difficulties in motivating his Giallorossi players this season. According to reports from TeamTalk, it’s highly probable that Mourinho will part ways with the club next summer.
Currently, Roma finds themselves in the seventh position in the Italian top division, trailing the league leaders, Inter Milan, by eight points. This situation presents Mourinho with an opportunity for a fresh challenge, and a return to the Premier League seems like a distinct possibility.
In a surprising turn of events, back in March, West Ham had reportedly made an offer to Mourinho. At that time, he declined the offer as his focus remained on Roma. However, the circumstances have now evolved, and with West Ham actively searching for a replacement for their current manager, David Moyes, it could be an opportune moment for Mourinho to rekindle his association with the English top division, a league he is well acquainted with.
Bringing the “Special One” back to the Premier League would be a logical move for West Ham, especially if they aim to sustain their upward trajectory and not let their Europa Conference League triumph become just a fleeting success. Of course, substantial financial investments will be required to bolster the team and meet Mourinho’s expectations. However, as demonstrated in the previous transfer window, the club has been willing to allocate significant funds for acquiring the right players.
