Many national teams will have to make changes after Qatar 2022, especially those who left much to be desired in the World Cup. A number of managers, for instance, had to leave their positions due to their teams’ performance.

Those teams that are facing a transition to a new head coach have started tolook for the best names on the market, but even those who are currently under contract seem to be drawing interest.

Jose Mourinho, for instance, is reportedly on the radar of a national team despite the fact that his deal with AS Roma expires in June 2024. Therefore, the nation in question would offer him apart-time role so that he keeps his current job.

Mou has yet to coach a national team, so doing it for the first timefor his home country would certainly mean a lot. Besides, if the report proves correct,it would be interesting to see how he combines both positions.
