Mourinho joins race to lead Brazil team

Amid the search for a new coach for the Brazilian national team, Jose Mourinho has emerged as a notable name.

After Brazil was eliminated early from the 2022 World Cup, the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) began searching for a new coach to lead the team in the 2026 World Cup campaign. Recently, Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho joined the list of potential candidates, becoming a name that attracts attention in the competitive race.

Although Mourinho turned down Brazil's offer in January 2023 when he was in charge of Roma, the current situation at Fenerbahce could change his mind. Mourinho's Turkish side are struggling in the league and have been eliminated from both the Europa League and the Turkish Cup. Moving to Brazil could be an opportunity for Mourinho to restart his career and regain the glory he once had at big clubs.

However, Mourinho is not the only candidate. Jorge Jesus (Al-Hilal) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras) are also mentioned, but inviting them to lead the Selecao is not easy, as both have important commitments with their clubs.

If Mourinho does become Brazil coach, he will be the first non-Brazilian to lead the Selecao at a World Cup. With extensive experience at top clubs such as Chelsea, where he won the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup, Mourinho is well-placed to bring a breath of fresh air to the Brazilian team.

Brazil are in need of a coach who can stabilise the team and restore confidence after the defeat in Qatar. Mourinho, with his experience and strong personality, could be the ideal choice to lead the Selecao into the 2026 World Cup.
