Jose Mourinho 'reaches verbal agreement' with Saudi club just days after Roma sacking

Jose Mourinho has reached a verbal agreement to become the new manager of Al-Shabab, according to reports from Saudi Arabia.

Report informs via foreign media that Mourinho was sacked by Roma earlier this week, with the Giallorossi sat ninth in Serie A following a disappointing start to the season.

The offer in question would have reportedly seen him earn £500,000-a-week to take charge of Al-Hilal, who are now managed by Jorge Jesus. Now that Mourinho is out of work, Saudi owned newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat is reporting that he is in line to takeover at Al-Shabab.
