Crystal Palace fans have been asking “what if”, with Jose Mourinho reportedly looking for his next job in England.
The Portuguese manager, who has been unemployed since being sacked as Manchester United boss, recently turned down a role at Lyon in France.

After this, several Crystal Palace fans started to speculate that maybe Mourinho could be the one to take over from Roy Hodgson if he was to leave the club.

However, some fans of other clubs were quick to warn Palace that Jose may not be the one to take the club forward.

Read Crystal Palace’s verdict
We all know that Roy won’t be Palace boss forever, but could the Eagles tempt Jose Mourinho to the club? Really?
It would be seen as a step down by many, but, if Palace have genuine European ambitions, then Mourinho could be seen as a big move towards truely competing in the Premier League.
However, his past record has not been good, especially with Manchester United, so Palace may want to look elsewhere.
