London job Jose Mourinho said he'd take next is now available after bizarre UEFA rant

The London job Jose Mourinho said he would take is now available. The former Tottenham and Chelsea manager namechecked Championship side Millwall as someone he would join after issuing an extraordinary come-and-get-me plea following Fenerbahce's 1-1 draw with Manchester United in October.

Mourinho, who joined the Turkish club in the summer after two-and-a-half years at Roma, has cut a frustrated figure during his time in Istanbul so far. And after his side picked up a point against former employers United in the Europe, Mourinho went on a stunning rant and offered his services to the Premier League.

"Best thing I can do is to go to a team who does not play in UEFA competition," Mourinho said, displaying his frustration after he felt a couple of decisions went against his team. "So a club at the bottom in England who needs a coach in two years, I am ready to go. I don't want to speak any more about it."

Just a couple of days later, Mourinho retracted those comments and admitted he has no intention of joining a relegation-threatened Premier League club anytime soon. However, in a follow up interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho then added that he would be open to moving to Millwall in the Championship.

Responding to the comments he made about leaving Fenerbahce and returning to English football, Mourinho said: "Millwall! I just have to cross the bridge from my house."

Luckily for Mourinho, Millwall are now searching for a new manager. It comes after the Lions agreed to part company with legendary boss Neil Harris following Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough.

Harris has done a superb job at The Den since returning to the club for a second spell in February. He guided Millwall to safety at the back end of last season, stringing a run together of five successive wins and had made a steady start to the campaign with The Lions 11th in the Championship at the time of his departure.

Chairman James Berylson added: "At the start of 2024, we found ourselves in a tough spot. Neil came in and along with his coaching staff galvanised the squad. After discussions with Neil in recent days, he felt it was the right time to step down from the role following the Middlesbrough game and I have accepted his decision."

During his second stint at Millwall, Harris won 15 and drew nine of his 33 matches in charge.
