Jose Mourinho reportedly on the list of coaches US Soccer is considering for USMNT manager

As the USMNT once again faces a January camp without a full-time manager, a new name in the list of potential candidates being considered for the job has emerged. World Soccer Talk posted a report that US Soccer wants Jose Mourinho for the role. This, presumably, would entail him leaving his job at Roma early to take the role.

The article notes that Mourinho has stated an ambition to manage in an international tournament like the European Championship and World Cup. It’s possible he could be enticed by the prospect of leading the USA in the Gold Cup, potentially a Copa America, and the 2026 World Cup.
