José Mourinho is back in the international football spotlight. The coach of Fenerbahçe, who is experiencing an intense period in Turkey, has been linked in recent hours with the possibility of becoming the new coach of Portugal. The Portuguese federation is reportedly seriously considering his appointment in view of the 2026 World Cup, which would be a move of enormous impact for the country and the national team landscape.
José Mourinho could coach Portugal's national team
The Portuguese coach has always expressed his desire to lead the national team, a goal yet to be achieved in his brilliant career. Despite currently focusing on his duties with the Turkish team, the interest from his homeland could change the course of events. Mourinho's figure commands respect and admiration among players, and his arrival at the Portuguese helm could be the perfect stimulus for embarking on an ambitious cycle.
The Portuguese Football Federation is exploring all possible scenarios for the near future. With a talented generation and a group of players established in top leagues, the national team needs a leader with experience, character, and a winning track record. Mourinho's profile fits perfectly into that description, and his ability to bring out the best in teams under pressure makes him a hard-to-ignore option.
From Turkey, Fenerbahçe is closely following the news. While the club has backed the Setúbal coach strongly, the challenge of leading his country in a World Cup could weigh more than any contract. In Lisbon, they believe that the time to have the most renowned coach in their history could be closer than ever.
