AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho may end up coaching in Saudi Arabia in the near future.

The Portuguese manager is set to leave Italy at the end of the season once his current deal expires.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed on Monday that Mourinho will leave Serie A after a three-year stint at Roma.

The Sky Sport pundit said in regards to Mourinho's future with the GIallorossi: "It won’t happen. There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June.

"A number of Saudi clubs had been linked with hiring the Special One last summer, but Mourinho decided to stay at the Stadio Olimpico.

Mourinho has admitted that he may manage a club in Saudi Arabia if he receives any suitable offer in the future.
