While the rumors grow that Jose Mourinho could soon reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, the Portuguese coach could earn around $5.5 million per season. Al Nassr's current coach, Luis Castro, reportedly earns that amount per season with Ronaldo's team in Saudi Arabia. Mourinho's last job was with AS Roma in the Serie A, where he earned $12.5 million. Either he will earn $5.5 million or a slight increase with a price range of $6 to $9 million per season.
Mourinho was sacked earlier this year with Roma after inconsistent results. Mourinho has said in the past that he wants to coach next season. The 'Special One' also hinted that he would be open to coach in the Saudi Pro League. He even said that his future would be there during his days at AS Roma. Mourinho said, "I will go to Saudi Arabia in some free time... but I am convinced I will work there. I don’t know when, but I am pretty sure of it. I am committed to my work with AS Roma, and I want to give everything to the club until the last day."
