And he appeared to all but confirm his arrival during his role as a pundit on Saturday night.

During an interview in front of the Wembley pitch, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand asked him: "Who is the most famous person in your phonebook?"

After initially not understanding the question, Mourinho pondered for a second before hilariously saying: "At the moment it is the president of Fenerbahce."

Ferdinand burst into laughter, before Mourinho also managed a snigger.

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has been linked with a litany of jobs in recent weeks, including the sporting director's role at Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadisiyah.

He recently outlined the minimum requirements for his next role.

He told The Telegraph: "The only thing I want is that the targets and the objectives have to be established by everyone in a fair way.

"I cannot go to a club where, because of my history, the objective is to win the title. No.

"The only thing I want is that it has to be fair. Do you think if I was at a big Premier League club and we were sixth, seventh, eighth, in the table, I still have a job?

"What I am saying is people [should] look at me the way they look at others.

"What is important for me is if the club has objectives and for me to be able to say I am ready to fight for these.

"I don’t want to say realistic, but [at least] semi-realistic. Because when I went to Roma nobody was dreaming about European Cup finals and we did it.

"It’s not possible I go to a club almost relegated and the objective is to win the Champions League. It’s good but it is not fair."
