Former Manchester United and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has dropped a massive hint regarding the possible whereabouts of his future, hinting at a possible reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.
The Portuguese tactician has been without a job since being relieved of his duties by Premier League giants Manchester United in December following a string of poor results.
Juve recently confirmed that Massimiliano Allegri will leave the club after guiding the Serie A giants to five league titles in as many seasons since arriving from AC Milan in 2014.
As a result, the Bianconeri are reportedly on the lookout for a new manager and Mourinho, who enjoyed a successful two-year spell with Inter Milan between 2008 and 2010, has seemingly put his name into the mix to coach Juventus after lifting the lid on a conversation with one of his former players, with many publications assuming he was talking about Ronaldo.
