Mourinho Excites USMNT With Hopeful Reply

US Soccer officials continue their in-depth analysis of the restructuring around the UMSNT in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup where the United States will be the primary host of the tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.

As reported on MARCA, one of the main decisions to be made by the USMNT is the appointment of the coach, as the Gregg Berhalter era seems to be over after the failure of Team USA at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the incident in his past where he kicked his wife, as well as the controversies with key players.

Many top candidates have been floated as the coach of the USMNT ahead of their second home World Cup, including Marcelo Bielsa and Zinedine Zidane, but one that has Team USA fans very excited is the name of Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho Jokes: Everyone Loves Me But No One Calls Me

The legendary Portuguese manager is currently in charge of AS Roma in Italy, but that didn’t stop him from being questioned about whether he would like to manage the US side, a question that Mou answered bluntly.

In an interview with Fox Sports, Mourinho acknowledged that he is aware of interest in his services from several clubs and national teams, but said that no one has yet made him a formal offer, except for his country’s national team, Portugal.

“Everyone wants me but no one calls me,” laughed Mourinho.
“Every week someone wants me, whether it’s a club or a national team, but the only one who has called me has been the Portuguese national team, which I was unable to accept.

“All the others want me, but none of them call me.”

The reporter asked him “And would you like to?” to which Mou replied with a laugh: “No. I would like someone to call me, but I laugh a bit because no one calls me”, continuing with the humorous tone of his words.

Jose Mourinho has a special touch that makes him one of the most coveted coaches in world football.

Although he is currently with Roma, according to reports the Portuguese coach will not remain at the Italian Serie A club after this season and could be heading for new horizons.

After Berhalter’s contract expired in December last year, the United States appointed Anthony Hudson as interim coach for the immediate Concacaf Leagues Cup games.

Mourinho’s Kind US Words

Jose Mourinho has previously expressed interest in working in the United States.
Mourinho is the preferred candidate for the Americans, who remain hopeful because of Mourinho’s comments in 2011 about being involved in the growth of football in the United States.

“I see myself coaching a [club] team, coaching the national team or helping develop soccer in the US When I’m tired of winning things in Europe, it’s something I want to do. I want to coach the Portuguese national team, and I want to work in the United States,” Mourinho said.
