Former Chelsea boss is plotting a spectacular return to the Premier League next season with his old club not the only one whose interest has been pricked.
After three years away from the English top flight at Internazionale and Real Madrid, the Portuguese is ready to make a dramatic return to the passion and excitement of English football.
Chelsea would be the obvious destination for Mourinho, having spent a successful period at Stamford Bridge during which he won two Premier League titles, but the Blues rivals are sure to give them a fight for the Special One's signature.

Liverpool,

Tottenham are all named as potential suitors, with Mourinho ready to jack in his job at Real Madrid amid behind the scenes tensions at the Bernabeu. (The Sun)
Should Mourinho take the job at United, he will thank the present incumbent of the hot seat at Old Trafford, Alex Ferguson, for laying the groundwork for a bright future at the club.
Ferguson has reached an agreement in principle to sign
Everton whizz kid
Jack Rodwell for £25 million.
United tried to sign the now 20-year-old in January but were rebuffed because the Toffees were adamant they needed him for the rest of the season.
They also told the Red Devils their offer of
£15m was way off the mark, leading to an increased offer to bring the youngster to Manchester at the end of the current campaign. (The Sun)
Liverpool midfielder
Joe Cole may have been given an escape route from his nightmare at Anfield by long-time admirer
Harry Redknapp.
The
Tottenham boss rivalled the Reds for the England man's signature when he left Chelsea at the end of last season and is still believed to be interested, despite having been snubbed last time. (Daily Mirror)
Redknapp may be in the market for a creative midfielder come the summer after
Internazionale captain
Javier Zanetti urged his club to sign
Luka Modric.
But, as with
Gareth Bale - also sought by some of the best clubs on the continent - Redknapp will do everything in his power to hang on to one of his best players. (Daily Mirror)
That is something
Arsene Wenger has been trying to do across town ever since
Barcelona were linked with
Arsenal captain
Cesc Fabregas.
And just when you thought those rumours had gone away, back they come with the Catalan giants' top brass set to meet to decide whether to take another crack at signing the Gunners skipper this summer.
Barca are currently clearing their decks with the sales of
Alexander Hleb (currently on loan at Birmingham), full-back
Maxwell and
Seydou Keita in a bid to free up funds for a summer splurge, with Fabregas one way of spending the cash. (Daily Mirror)
Meanwhile,
Jens Lehmann could be set for an improbable return to
Arsenal as Wenger seeks to solve his goalkeeping crisis.
With
Wojciech Szczesny out for six weeks with a finger injury and
Lukasz Fabianski out for the rest of the season with a shoulder problem, Wenger is desperate to land a keeper on a short-term deal.
Lehmann, 41, retired at the end of last season but is back at the club to complete his coaching badges and is hopeful of landing a deal to provide cover for
Manuel Almunia. (Daily Mail)
To the international game, and
England coach
Fabio Capello is considering reinstating
John Terry as captain for this month's Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales - and beyond.
The Chelsea defender has not worn the armband since being axed from the job in the wake of the Wayne Bridge scandal.
But discussions are under way at the FA over handing it back to the central defender, with Steven
Gerrard ruled out of the match following an operation on a hernia and
Rio Ferdinand having played just one game since January 16.
But Capello, who has been told by the FA that they will support him whatever his choice, does not just see Terry as a mere stop-gap choice. The feeling is that Terry is the squad's most natural leader and Capello wants him back on a permanent basis, going through to Euro 2012. (Daily Mail)
And finally, some debauchery to finish things off for today:
Aston Villa players have been involved in a "booze-fuelled fracas" during a two-day team bonding exercise.
Apparently, tempers frayed after dinner at an exclusive resort and players had to be pulled apart before any punches were thrown.
The incident occurred after a day of paintballing and pampering at the luxurious Champneys Springs resort in Leicestershire.
According to the report, tempers flared after a verbal disagreement escalated and although no member of the public was involved, Villa boss
Gerard Houllier is said to be furious and has launched an immediate investigation. (Daily Maill)
