Jose Mourinho reported to be in the running to replace Unai Emery

Jose Mourinho set to take over from Unai Emery if performances don’t improve.

Jose Mourinho could be Arsenal’s next manager if Unai Emery side continues to struggle under the management of the Spaniard.

Emery who replaced Arsene Wenger last season has struggled to return the Gunners to the Champions League.

They reached the final of the Europa League last season but lost to Chelsea. They have started struggling to remain with the top four again this season.

Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead against Crystal Palace at the weekend. They are now closer to Tottenham who are 11th than to Chelsea who are fourth on the league table.

Reports from the media claims that Jose Mourinho is waiting in the wings to take over from the Spaniard.

The Portuguese maestro, who has won trophies with two of England’s big teams would be eager to lead another to success.

He was recently linked with a move to Olympique Lyon, but the French club’s president claims that the former Real Madrid manager is already set to join another team.

Arsenal fans have been yearning for a manager who would bring back the glory days of winning trophies every season and Mourinho could be the answer to that prayer.

Mourinho still has a house in London from his time as manager of Chelsea and would have little problems managing the Gunners.

Whether he would be accepted by the Arsenal fans is a whole different matter. There is some bad history there and that may be an obstacle too large to overcome.
