Mourinho Offered Valencia Job - Report

[Steve 10,227]

José Mourinho is considering whether to step into the breach at Valencia after being made an offer to replace the beleaguered Ronald Koeman, according to a report.

The Portuguese boss was approached by Los Ché before they appointed their current coach, but he turned down the offer as he hoped for a bigger club to make their move.

Koeman joined Valencia in early November and has won just one league game and caused major upheaval at the club that has now seen the fans turn against him.

According to The Sun, Mourinho has now been approached and if he accepts the role then the Dutchman will be sacked this week in order to make way.

While the former Chelsea boss was rumoured to fancy a return to English football and was linked to both Liverpool and Newcastle United, he has yet to say anything publicly.

Valencia's offer to help rescue them this season may be tempting, but Mourinho is believed to be holding out for one of Europe's major clubs to offer him a post.

AC Milan are the favourites with Carlo Ancelotti expected to step down in the summer, so Valencia may only be able to keep the outspoken trainer until then.

In Spain, Valencia have publicly given Koeman their backing, but defeat in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening against Atlético de Madrid would see the pressure increase dramatically.

I think it's great his going Valencia and not a big team, I cant see the likes of the players who were upset and said to be going were his going, going to Valencia. But the bad news of this deal is that it means Alves or Villa probley wont leave now.
