It’s been nearly 10 months since Jose Mourinho was dismissed as manager of Manchester United, and the iconic football manager is still holding out for that right job.
Jose Mourinho | RMC report the manager has turned down Lyon.
Thanked them for their interest but said he wants to get a job in England… quickly.

And with the latest report from France claiming via Sport Witness that the Portuguese coach rejected a move to Lyon in favour of holding out on a move to England, the news got a lot of people talking as to which club Mourinho will be heading to next to stamp his authority at.
And for some Everton supporters, they are starting to dream that maybe the Champions League winning manager could be about to make a sensational return to the Premier League in the form of the Toffees with tensions surrounding Marco Silva following a fourth straight league defeat.
Fans on social media were quick to get excited about the news, and here’s what some Everton supporters had to say about the possibility of Mourinho joining the club on Twitter…
@Everton for once in my life do something good that makes sense

The prospect of Mourinho at Everton was a scary one even for rival fans…
O God it’s going to be Everton.

Wonder how things would work out if he went somewhere like Everton, see if he can do it lower down with less money.

Mourinho is yet to be directly linked with a move to Everton despite reports of the Toffees actively looking for a replacement to Silva.
