Mourinho, 62, was axed by Fenerbahce last week after their exit to Benfica in Champions League qualifying.
It brought an end to a rather turbulent and incident-packed spell in charge.
The dismissal was the SEVENTH time Mourinho has been sacked during his career.
His year-long spell at Fener was his shortest tenure at a club for more than two decades.

A glittering managerial career has seen Mourinho coach many of the world’s biggest clubs.
He’s been in charge of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma.
Now, he’s on the lookout for his next managerial opportunity.
But could a move to SCOTLAND ever be on the horizon?
Asked about the possibility of managing either Celtic or Rangers earlier this year, he exclaimed: “why not?”
His departure from Fenerbahce had many Rangers fans wondering if he could be a potential replacement for Russell Martin, when the incumbent Ibrox gaffer was feeling the heat prior to Sunday’s Old Firm clash.
Martin’s job is safe – but could Mourinho be a future Gers boss?
Former Chelsea defender William Gallas reckons there’s absolutely no chance.
The former France star won two Premier League titles under Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.
Gallas, who also played for Arsenal and Tottenham, was quizzed on the possibility of his old boss ending up at Rangers.
But he insists the Light Blues are simply TOO SMALL a club for Mourinho.
Asked if managing Rangers would appeal to Mourinho, Gallas told Gambling Zone: “Absolutely not.
“There’s no way Jose Mourinho will go to Rangers.
“I mean no disrespect, but Rangers are just too small for Jose.
“He needs one last job at a big club. However the last few years have gone for him, you can see that he’s got the aura, got the magic.
“He still has that unique attitude.
“Everyone wants to see him, he’s box office.
“But the problem is that life goes so fast, especially in football, and I don’t know if there’s a club that can match what he needs to succeed.

“It might be time for him to consider international management, where he’s still on a big enough stage for his talents.”
Gallas instead wants to see Mourinho back in the Premier League and reckons he’s got it in him to win the league title in England one more time.
