The serial trophy winner has been out of work since January after being sacked by Roma and has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to Fabrizio Romano, Mourinho revealed that he hasn’t ruled out joining a club in the Gulf State after being convinced by Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Cristiano opened the door in terms of believing that it is possible to be there and live there, to enjoy the development of a country that wants to be a different country with football that has a passion but is not developed.

“I’m ready to start again. Sometimes when you end at a club you feel like you’re in need of a rest, of a think, to process things.”

“But in this case one day after I left, I was ready to go. I feel strong, I feel good, I love the work. I’m really ready. But I don’t want to make the wrong choice.”
