On Friday, Fenerbahce announced the firing of Mourinho. As early as 309 days ago, Mourinho predicted his next stop, from Nottingham Forest to Wolves and West Ham, Mourinho is expected to return to the Premier League.

On October 24, 2024, Mourinho got a red card with Manchester United at home. In an interview, Mourinho publicly stated, "The best thing I can do is to find a team without European competition when I leave Fenerbahce. If the bottom team at the Premier League needs a coach in the next two years, then I am ready."

Even before being fired by Fenerbahce, the English media revealed that Mourinho is expected to return to the Premier League. As early as August 23, the Mirror revealed that Nottingham Forest intends to invite Mourinho to replace Nuno Santos.

In the 2024-25 season, Nuno helped Nottingham Forest get 7th in the Premier League and get European tickets. However, due to differences in signings, Nuno broke down with club chairman Marinakis, who may fire Nuno, while Mourinho and Postkoglu were on the Forest's coach selection list.

Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown revealed, "Nottingham Forest may consider Mourinho, and I think he is willing to accept the job. Because he has been focusing on returning to the Premier League, he has been paying attention for a while."

"He rarely has been in a club for more than 2 or 3 years, so if he has the chance, he may have wanted to leave Turkey. Everyone knows Mourinho, and he likes to be the focus. Replacing Nuno is a controversial decision, so who is more suitable to face such controversy than Mourinho?"

After Fenerbahce announced the firing of Mourinho, reporter Vatach took a look at the five clubs Mourinho is expected to take over, including Leeds United, West Ham, Wolves, Fulham and Burnley.

Vatac analyzed, "As two clubs that have not yet scored points this season, Wolves seems to be facing a fierce battle. Since Wolves contacted super agent Mendes and used Portuguese players to enrich the lineup, it seems natural for Mourinho to take over Wolves."

If West Ham fires Porter, then Mourinho is also likely to take over the team. Mick Brown revealed, "He is very interested as far as I know. He has a house in London, so it would be easier for him to do so. If he had the opportunity to get him back to London, I heard he would accept it with pleasure."
