There is less and less to go before the ten teams from South America begin their journey to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Brazil will have a leading role, but first, it will have to choose its next technical director after the departure of Tite when the adventure of the Brazilians in Qatari lands ended. A goodbye that was already known since before the World Cup began and it took place ahead of time.
For this reason, they have wanted to put historical technical directors on Brazil’s radar such as Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola, but the former hopes to retire at Real Madrid, and the latter is a priceless card, being the strategist who currently earns the best . Accompanying the Italian and the Iberian, another European appears.
In a debate among Brazilians who do not want a foreign technical director, foreign names such as Abel Ferreira de Palmeiras, who is Portuguese, Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Roberto Martínez, who already took over the reins of Portugal after the departure, appear in the folder. by Fernando Santos. However, there is another yearning and it is nothing more and nothing less than ‘The Special One’ who wants to continue being special in the national teams: José Mourinho.
Without a doubt, a challenge that José Mourinho, who is currently leading Roma, would not rule out. In clubs, he has already won the Champions League, Europe and the Conference League, in addition to several national titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, and his ambition could grow even more with the Brazilian team that has him in orbit.
José Mourinho had already been tested in the Portugal team and he was eager to take on his country, but they historically opted for a Spanish-speaking man like Roberto Martínez. Now, Carlos Alberto Gomes, who was led in 2004 by Mourinho at Porto where Champions League champions remained, revealed that he is a serious candidate to reach Brazil. “Let me say it directly. Maybe Mourinho will be the new coach of Brazil,” he mentioned on the MUNDO GV Podcast.
And it is that, everything seems to indicate that José Mourinho would have no problem with taking on the challenge of the Brazilian team, and in fact, he made a great request to Carlos Alberto Gomes, who assured that “this is information, not opinion. This It’s news that I’m reporting publicly. He also asked me to work as his assistant.” The bombing could be delivered soon by the Brazilian Football Confederation, although Mourinho would be willing to take the reins if they let him finish the season with Roma, he had already said when he sounded for Portugal.
