Portuguese power play? Super Eagles’ Peseiro touts Mourinho for Barcelona job.
Nigerian manager Jose Peseiro has stirred the pot, suggesting his compatriot Jose Mourinho as the ideal candidate for Barcelona’s vacant managerial position.
Citing their close friendship and Mourinho’s winning pedigree, Peseiro believes the fiery Portuguese coach would excel at the Catalan club.
“He has to be in a team to win everything,” Peseiro declared, highlighting Mourinho’s relentless pursuit of trophies.
He sees Mourinho’s demanding nature as a positive, praising his ability to “build a team to win” through constant pressure on players and staff.
This unexpected endorsement comes as Barcelona grapples with the aftermath of Xavi’s departure.
While Mourinho’s style clashes with the club’s traditional philosophy, Peseiro’s words add fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding the managerial search.
Will Barcelona consider the Mourinho option, or will they stick to their established identity? Only time will tell.
