Jose Mourinho has been backed to return to one of his former clubs after being sacked by Serie A outfit AS Roma.
Mourinho was relieved of his duties by Roma last month after some disappointing form in the league, which put their top four hopes at risk.

The Portuguese tactician has been linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League and Premier League duo Manchester United and Chelsea.
However, former Blues defender Glen Johnson feels Mourinho would be better returning to Stamford Bridge instead of the Red Devils.
"He's obviously a fantastic manager and regardless of whether there's any substance to these rumours or not, there's definitely some unfinished business between himself and Manchester United because he doesn't usually go to these sorts of clubs and fails," Johnson told Betfred.
"If he went back, it would be no different to the club that he left in the first place because the squad still isn't good enough and they're not performing well on a consistent basis. However, Manchester United is still a giant of a football club and on paper, their team looks pretty bloody good, but something isn't right there."
"Jose going back to Chelsea seems more believable than him returning to Manchester United. He would certainly get the players attention and I think it could give fans and the club a lift but it doesn't change all the issues that are affecting them at the moment.
"There's still a lot of uncertainty going on at Chelsea and even a man like Jose can't fix all those issues overnight. It's not like the situation at Liverpool where they're looking to replace one good manager with another because at Chelsea there are an awful lot of things that need fixing in the background, but the fans would love it if he returned."
