Syrian FA enter race to sign Jose Mourinho and suddenly Ed Woodward doesn’t look so bad

Wanted man.

In fairness, Jose Mourinho does have experience working with someone who loves total control and is willing and ready to do anything he can to be successful and hang onto power.

So we can see why, after two stints with Roman Abramovich, a war-torn Middle Eastern country, semi-controlled by a dictator, might be interested in his services.

Jose’s previous experience at Chelsea could see him take over the national side of one of the most dangerous countries in the world, if he was interested in that sort of thing.

It’s being reported today that while Jose is waiting for a phonecall from Ed Woodward at Manchester United, the Syrian FA contacted his representatives to ask him if he would be interested in working in the war-torn  state.

We’re not sure the opportunity would really appeal to the Portuguese, who has never expressed any desire to operate in a war-torn country.

The confirmation of contact between the Syrian FA and Mourinho was confirmed on the association’s Facebook page.
