da luck: In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, former Derby County manager, Paul Jewell, admits that he can’t see Jose Mourinho getting the Celtic job, despite just being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur.
da premier bet: Since Daniel Levy decided that time was up for Mourinho at Spurs, the Portuguese manager has been linked with a move north of the border to Celtic with their number one target, Eddie Howe, stalling over whether he wants to take the hot-seat.
Mourinho failed to push Spurs onto the next level as they appeared to be out of the race for the top four and were also dumped out of the Europa League by Dinamo Zagreb, despite winning the first leg 2-0.
Speaking on how he can’t see Mourinho wanting to take the Celtic job but how it would be a great challenge for him, Jewell told FFC:
“I don’t see Mourinho there for whatever reason I don’t see it happening but I might be wrong.
“He might see the challenge of now trying to overturn Rangers and Steven Gerrard, but just for some reason I don’t quite see him wanting to go to Glasgow.”
The 58-year old had managed to guide Spurs into the Carabao Cup final, however, that was not enough to keep him his job with his departure coming at the same time as the European Super League was announced.
Celtic have reportedly held more talks with Roy Keane recently as they continue to look for an alternative manager to Eddie Howe.
