The Portuguese tactician has been unemployed since being sacked by Roma earlier this year, but reports suggest the experienced manager is not short of suitors.

Mourinho has been linked with job offers all around Europe and from Saudi Arabia, a country the two-time UEFA Champions League winner has admitted to wanting to work in at some point.

"I will go to Saudi Arabia in some free time, but I am convinced that I will work there," he has been quoted as saying in the past, as per the Express.

"I don't know when, but I am pretty sure of it. No one knows the future but I will definitely do this."

According to Sportitalia, the 61-year-old is now being pursued by second-tier Saudi side Al Qadsiah, who will be playing their football in the Saudi Pro League next season.

The Italian publication claims Mourinho has been offered the chance to become their technical director ahead of the coming campaign, a role he will be unfamiliar with.

It remains to be seen whether or not the iconic manager has an interest in working in a different role at this stage in his career, having been a head coach since 2000.
