Jose Mourinho tipped to leave Fenerbahce and make Premier League return - on one condition

Former Arsenal and Chelsea star William Gallas believes Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho will return to the Premier League - but on one condition.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mourinho is currently halfway through his two-year contract at Fenerbahce, and last month he said he expects to stay with the Turkish giants next season. Last October, the Portuguese did say he was "ready" to head back to the English top-flight but only to manage a club "at the bottom". But ex-France international Gallas believes the former Real Madrid boss will only be back on English shores if a post at a title contender becomes available.

WHAT GALLAS SAID

He told Prime Casino: “I can only see him back in England in the Premier League and only see him in the Premier League with a team that is competing for the title. I don’t think he will come back just to manage a team in midtable and at the moment I can’t see a team going for the title that would be a good fit, because of that we may not see him back in the Premier League.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mourinho never tends to stay too long at a football team, something that has been evidenced during spells at Chelsea, Manchester United, Madrid, Inter Milan, Roma, Tottenham, and more. Some believe the 62-year-old, who has never been at a club for more than three years, will get another crack at the Premier League one day but the right opportunity may have to come along to lure him back.
