Could Jose Mourinho Make a Dramatic Return to the Premier League with Leeds?

Jose Mourinho, the self-proclaimed 'Special One', could be set for a sensational comeback to the Premier League, suggests former Leeds United and Manchester United player, Lee Sharpe. Sharpe believes that Mourinho's bold character could be an excellent match for Leeds, a club known for its rebellious spirit. Mourinho, who has previously managed Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham, is currently at the helm of Fenerbahce in Turkey. Despite no official hints about an imminent departure, speculation continues to swirl around his future, as he enters the final year of his contract in Istanbul. Sharpe is among those who believe that Mourinho would be open to an English return. The Portuguese tactician has often expressed his fondness for English football, and Sharpe thinks that Leeds could offer him the unique challenge he seeks. Sharpe said, 'I could see him returning. He loves English football. Leeds United would be an unbelievable destination for him. Leeds is a bit of a rebel team and Mourinho would thrive in that environment. He would build an incredible rapport with the fans. It would be fantastic.' While current Leeds manager Daniel Farke led the team to the Championship title last season, a slow start to the 2025-26 season could spark discussions about possible replacements.
