And now Mourinho, 60, has claimed there was also interest from the Saudi Pro League: "I've received two proposals: Al Hilal and Al Ahli wanted me, I decided to turn both down as I want to stay at Roma', he told Corriere dello Sport. Despite the financial restrictions on him, Mourinho also implied he relished the backs-to-the-wall challenge: 'Not everything is going well, but I also enjoy the difficulties," he added. "I get angry for an hour and immediately after that I come back positive. I don't get depressed, I don't threaten, I don't say that they promised me heaven and earth and I don't see the heavens or the mountains." HAVE YOUR SAY! Is Jose Mourinho still an elite level manager? Comment below. And a big factor in his decision would have centred around key forward Dybala.){kind=link}
Jose Mourinho is set to stay in charge of Serie A side Roma for the 2023/24 season despite the ‘Special One’ being linked with a move away from Italy this summer
Jose Mourinho has revealed he’s rejected two huge money offers from Saudi Arabia in order to remain in charge at Roma – and also confirmed that Paulo Dybala’s release clause has expired.
The self-dubbed ‘Special One’ took over at the Italian club at the start of the 2021/22 campaign, leading them to Europa Conference League glory in his first season in charge. And he took the Italians to the brink of European glory in his second campaign, losing on penalties to Sevilla in the Europa League final.
But that defeat prompted the latest in a long line of extraordinary outbursts from the Portuguese boss, who directed his anger at referee Anthony Taylor. And amid unsavoury scenes, Mourinho was charged by UEFA after approaching the official in the car park afterwards and using abusive language.
It resulted in a four-game UEFA ban, and furthermore, cast doubt over his future at Roma. Indeed, Mourinho was heavily touted to take over at PSG following the sacking of Christophe Galtier, but the Ligue 1 champions ultimately opted for Luis Enrique.
