Jose Mourinho could face AS Roma as head coach of new team — one week after being fired by Italian club

Jose Mourinho is one of the front runners for the Al-Shabab job after being sacked by AS Roma earlier this week, as per Foot Mercato.

The Saudi club sacked their manager Igor Biscan last month and are on the hunt for a successor.

Bruno Genesio is the other name on the list after he was sacked from his job at Stade Rennais earlier this season.

Should Mourinho take over Al-Shabab he may be in the dugout to face his former team Roma when the two sides meet each other in a friendly next week.
