JOSE MOURINHO bumped into Newcastle chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan after revealing he would return to football management “tomorrow” given the opportunity
Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Hotspur boss Mourinho is currently unemployed after being sacked by Roma in January.
The Portuguese is eager to dive straight back in and has been linked with a host of top jobs.
However, Mourinho has cautioned that he does not want to make the wrong call on his future.
Mourinho was one of the celebs on track at the Formula One’s Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, while Anthony Joshua was also there after his brutal second round knockout win over Francis Ngannou.
While in the paddock, Mourinho bumped into Newcastle’s chairman amid links to the Magpies managers job with the Toon struggling under Eddie Howe compared to last season.
