Jose Mourinho tipped to replace Unai Emery as ex-Manchester United boss linked to Arsenal

Jose Mourinho is reportedly open to becoming the next manager of Arsenal.

Several reports suggest that the 'The Special One' is ready to swap the studio (and TV ads) for a return to the dugout.

Mourinho has been out of work for nearly a year after being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018 but he is being tipped to make a surprise Premier League return at the Emirates Stadium.

The 56-year-old has been linked with a host of jobs in the UK and beyond - and his odds of being the next Arsenal boss is now just 4/1, having been as far out as 16/1 at the start of October after SportNation saw a flurry of activity.

He is second favourite alongside Massimiliano Allegri (also 4/1), with the likes of favourite Mikel Arteta (3/1), Patrick Vieira (6/1), Erik ten Hag (8/1) and Brendan Rodgers (10/1) all at the top of the betting market.

Current Gunners boss Unai Emery is under growing pressure after winning just four of his first ten Premier League matches this season and although they have no plans to sack him, Mourinho appears to be making his move.
