Newcastle told "nobody better" to rebuild club than Roma boss Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho may only have begun his AS Roma job this summer but a return to the Premier League could be about to open up.

Newcastle are on the verge of sacking Steve Bruce after the club was taken over by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

Mohammed bin Salman heads the organisation and his mammoth wealth of £320bn has made the Toon the richest club in the world.

And there are already a long list of suggestions to replace Bruce when the Magpies manager is dismissed.

Brendan Rodgers, Antonio Conte and Frank Lampard have all been linked but former Leeds United and Manchester City star Danny Mills reckons Mourinho is the perfect option.

Mills told talkSPORT on Thursday: "If you're talking about being given money to build a team and be relatively successful, I'd go with Mourinho.

"If you give Jose enough money and allow him to do what he wants to do, he will guide you to success quicker than probably anyone else."

Mourinho has managed three clubs in the Premier League with varying degrees of success from Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.

Across two stints at Stamford Bridge, he has won three league titles, three League Cups and the FA Cup whereas with the Red Devils, he landed the League Cup and the Europa League.

But with Spurs he won nothing and was sacked before getting the chance to take on City in the League Cup final last season.

Mills added: "Newcastle can go slowly and survive this season, next season finish in the top half, then top six. But If they want to jump from survival to top four, I don’t see anyone better out there than Mourinho to do that.

"You'd have to give him absolute fortunes to buy the players that he wants, but he’s one of the only coaches that could do that.

"He could put a team together next week that will be successful, he could do it in the January transfer window. The football might not be brilliant but he'll get you winning games that's for sure."
