'I will be back' Special One Mourinho, is back at the EPL helm. Everton's new coach is a strong candidate
Will 'Special One' show strong charisma on the English Premier League (EPL) stage again.
Jose Mourinho (61), who has been in charge of Turkiye's prestigious club Fenerbahce since this season, is likely to be the next coach of EPL Everton, according to reports. When the U.S. group, which is seeking to acquire Everton, completes its ownership of the stake, it will appoint a new coach, and Mourinho is the likely candidate.
British media Daily Star reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Mourinho, who led Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham, is attracting attention as a strong new coach option for the EPL club' There is a scenario in which Mourinho, who last left the EPL stage after Tottenham in 2021, will return to the British stage after three years.
Everton are expected to take the helm of Mourinho. Everton, currently under coach Sean Dyche, are sluggish early in the 2024-2025 season. Until the sixth round, he has only one win, one draw, and four losses (4 points) to rank 16th in the league.
Everton have been sluggish in recent years. He is barely out of the relegation zone and continues to stay. Since ranking 10th in the 2020-2021 season, it has been struggling at 16th place (2021-2022) → 17th place (2022-2023) → 15th place (2023-2024).
Apart from these achievements, Everton is currently in the midst of selling its ownership. Fakhad Moshiri, now Everton's owner, has been pushing for a steady sale of the club in recent years. Earlier this year, 777 Partners also attempted to acquire Everton, which was ultimately thwarted, putting Everton in crisis.
However, a strong candidate for acquisition has now emerged. The Friedkin Group, led by American business dog Dan Friedkin, is actively trying to acquire Everton. They are expected to acquire 94.1% of Moshiri's stake to become Everton's new owner.
And it has been reported that Friedkin Group will bring Mourinho in when he becomes Everton's new owner. The Daily Star quoted Football Insider as saying that if Friedkin completes Everton's takeover, he could appoint Mourinho, a three-time EPL winner, as the new coach.'Mourinho, who currently leads Fenerbahce, has emerged as a strong option.'
The prospect that Friedkin Group will replace coach Sean Dyche and bring Mourinho came because they already have a relationship with Mourinho. Friedkin Group also took over AS Roma in 2020 and gave Mourinho the helm of AS Roma in 2021. Mourinho led AS Roma to a Europa Conference League victory in the 2021-2022 season. In the 2022-2023 season, he also reached the Europa League final and unfortunately stayed in second place.
Friedkin Group would have to pay a penalty to Fenerbahce to bring Mourinho back. Mourinho took over as Fenerbahce coach this year and is currently second in the league.
