Fenerbahce’s manager, Jose Mourinho, has expressed his desire to lead a national team before concluding his illustrious managerial career.

The iconic Portuguese coach, who was dismissed by AS Roma in early 2024, took charge of Turkish giants Fenerbahce later in the year.

Mourinho, a household name in football, has an impressive résumé that includes managing top clubs like Chelsea, Porto, Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Roma.

Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho reflected on his future aspirations.

“I haven’t watched Roma play since I left, but I have watched Inter,” he admitted.

“I want to manage a European Championship or a World Cup, bringing a country together around its national team.

I’ve done it with clubs before, and to do it for a nation would be an incredible experience.”

Bendel Insurance caretaker head coach Greg Ikhenoba was pleased with his team’s performance as they closed out 2024 on a high note.

The Benin Arsenals secured a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Enyimba in their final match of the year in Aba on Tuesday.

Despite the positive result, Ikhenoba expressed disappointment at his side’s failure to claim all three points, citing missed opportunities as the main reason for the stalemate.

“We’re happy to end the year on a positive note, but we could have gotten the win against Enyimba,” Ikhenoba said.

“We had several chances to score, but we couldn’t convert them, and that gave Enyimba a chance to recover in the second half.

They too missed some opportunities and were a bit unlucky.”

Ikhenoba emphasized that missed chances are part of football, but stressed the importance of capitalizing on opportunities when they arise.

“That’s football for you. If you don’t take your chances, it becomes difficult to win.”

Manchester United Manager, Ruben Amorim admits the need for team to improve to avoid relegation threats. The team recently had their defeat against Newcastle United and Amorim expresses his desire for a change.

The manager states that he will work hard to change the team’s status for the sake of their fans and the team. “I believe that relegation is a possibility, and we owe it to our fans to be transparent about that.”

“We need to make some changes, but we can use this challenging season as an opportunity to grow stronger together. It’s crucial that we remain determined and fight through this.”

“I came to Manchester United to make a difference, not to offer excuses, Fans are understandably looking for results, and we recognize that our club needs a jolt to reinvigorate our performance.”
