However, Sky Sports reports that Mourinho wants to continue his career in one of the best European teams and win the Champions League for the third time.

Earlier this week, images of Mourinho meeting Hui Jiayin – the richest man in China – emerged.

The billionaire real estate developer has submitted two offers to the Portuguese, allowing him to manage Evergrande, currently led by the winner of the World Cup, Fabio Cannavaro, and the national team.


Mourinho was sacked by United in December after leading the Red Devils to their worst start in the history of the Premier League.

He had recently emerged as a shocking favorite to succeed Rafael Benitez in Newcastle, but revealed he would not join a club that would be satisfied with "seventh, eighth or ninth".

In an interview recorded before the announcement of Benitez's departure, Mourinho told The Voice of Coaches: "The only thing I know is what I do not want: I'm pretty pathological in the sense that I have to play to win.

"Then, if I do not win, it's my problem, as well as the players, the club and the structure, but I need a project in which I feel that I'm playing to win.

"If someone gives me a wonderful 10-year contract and the goal of the team is to stay in the first half of the table and you finish seventh, eighth or ninth, that's fine, so this is not for me. That's my nature.

"My next goal is to fight to win."

At 56, this 56-year-old has worked extensively as a consultant for beIN SPORTS, delighting his fans, and he has even covered the Champions League final alongside former boss of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger.
