Jose Mourinho has secured his
first job since being sacked as Manchester United coach after joining BeIN
Sports as a pundit, the broadcaster announced on Thursday.
‘The Special One’ will be an
analyst for Chelsea’s Premier League trip to Arsenal on January 19 as well as
Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s Asian Cup group-stage tie on January 17 on the Qatari
channel’s broadcasts in the Middle East and North Africa.
He was sacked by United in
December after the club’s worst start to a season since 1990 and won three
trophies during his two-and-a-half year tenure at Old Trafford.
“Jose is one of the greatest
football managers of all time, and we hope that his expert analysis and
charismatic personality will be enjoyed by our millions of viewers,” a beIN
spokesman said in a statement.
Mourinho had been linked with a
return to former club Benfica after the Lisbon giants fired coach Rui Vitoria
last week, but the 55-year-old told Correio da Manha earlier on Thursday that
he would not take the job.
“I don’t have any intention of
coming back to work in Portugal,” he told the newspaper. “I’m fine at the
moment.”
