Jose Mourinho's next destination has been revealed – report

The Portuguese was sacked by Manchester United in December and is yet to take charge of a French club, having won league titles in Portugal, Italy, Spain and England.

L’Equipe has reported that the 56-year-old’s next job is likely to be in Ligue 1 with either Lyon or Monaco, but not reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Mourinho was heavily linked with a return to Real Madrid recently until Zinedine Zidane agreed to take on the Bernabeu job for a second time in the wake of Santiago Solari’s dismissal.

Lyon are currently third in the Ligue 1 table, four points off Lille in the runners-up spot but 24 points adrift of runaway leaders PSG.

Monaco, meanwhile, have suffered a difficult season and are floundering in 16th place.

The report suggests that a move to the Stade Louis II is less likely due to the fact that Mourinho shares an agent, Jorge Mendes, with current Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim.
