In the last several years, the signings of several stars by Inter Miami and other MLS clubs have made the noise. However, a club among them could attract attention with their managerial appointment. After getting sacked by AS Roma, there is a possibility of a move to the US. In an interview in 2011, he revealed a surprising coaching destination for the future. He said, “I see myself coaching a [club] team, coaching the national team, or helping develop soccer in the U.S. When I’m tired of winning things in Europe, it’s something I want to do.”
In the interview, he also spoke about the impact of American schools on his children in various European countries. Hence, he expects them to explore the country. He and his wife hope to spend time with their kids in the future. However, the Special one will need an ambitious project that excites him. He did that at FC Porto, Chelsea, and others.
It will be fascinating to see which MLS club in the middle of the season can provide him with the opportunity. But there also remains a slight chance he will get an opportunity to manage the USMNT!

Mourinho to coach Pulisic and Co?
The Copa American commences in June this year, with the USWNT hoping to raise the standards and win the tournament. They are paired with Uruguay, Panama, and Bolivia in Group C. Hence, the team with stars like Pulisic, Reyna, and others is expected to progress through the group. However, if they lose games against lowly-ranked Bolivia and Panama and don’t qualify, the future of coach Gregg Berhalter will certainly come into question.
Should Mourinho be available at that moment, the US could certainly go all in for the Portuguese coach. However, they will certainly face stiff competition from Saudi clubs, who are already showing interest.
