Roma boss Jose Mourinho has revealed who he would like to see lift the 2023/24 Premier League trophy.
Jose Mourinho In The Premier League
Jose Mourinho has managed 363 games in the Premier League across spells at Chelsea (twice), Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, with varying degrees of success.
His most successful period in England came at Chelsea, where he won 3 Premier League titles across 2 separate spells.
After leaving Chelsea for a second time, Mourinho moved on to Manchester United where he won another 3 trophies before moving on to Tottenham, ultimately succumbing to the Spurs trophy curse.
Recently, the two-time Champions League winner has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League with Newcastle United.

Who Does Jose Mourinho Want To Win The Premier League?
Despite his strong links with both Chelsea and Spurs, Mourinho named Arsenal as the team he would most like to see win the Premier League this season.
Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, the ‘Special One’ was asked who he thinks will win the title, responding: “I would say Man City 51 [per cent], and Liverpool 49 [per cent].” Mourinho replied.
When asked whether Arsenal had a chance, Mourinho replied: “Nah!”
Continuing, Mourinho explained: “Rivalry apart, I would like them to win.
“Of course, Chelsea is not going to win. It is out of the question. Of course, Manchester United is not going to win it too, I don’t speak about Man Utd.
“So it is between these three and out of these three I would like Arsenal to win it.
Arsenal Fans React To Mourinho’s Comments
Interestingly, Mourinho’s comments have not gone down well with Arsenal fans on Twitter/X, who have obviously taken exception to him downplaying their chances of winning the title.
Mourinho will always remain a clown.
He would have done better as a comedian than a football coach.
He such much to have the spotlight on him. Since being relegated to irrelevant clubs he's looking for a to get back to the spotlight.
