Jose Mourinho has been dismissed as manager of AS Roma after a poor run of results.

As his future hangs in the balance, here are 3 possible destinations for the Portuguese tactician.

Could Mourinho link up with Ronaldo at Al Nassr?

Who can turn down the opportunity to earn Saudi millions, while coaching one of the best teams in the country? Mourinho would be leading Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, as well as whatever superstars arrive in the next window while maintaining his huge popularity.

The Pro League could offer Mourinho the chance to experience a new footballing culture and continue his managerial career in a competitive league.

Could Mourinho replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle?

Newcastle are in a tough spot, with 1 win in their last 7. The truth is Eddie Howe has hit his ceiling at St James's Park and this could be time for a change. 

The Magpies, backed by substantial financial resources following the Saudi takeover, present an exciting opportunity for Mourinho to rebuild a team and compete at the highest level in the Premier League, and in Europe.

Barcelona?

Xavi's days as Barca boss seem to be numbered, and the heavy defeat to Real Madrid on Sunday has only done further damage to the Catalan's case. 

Mourinho might not be the popular choice due to his well-documented history with the Blaugrana's eternal rivals, but he could provide the personality and thrust that has been lacking at the club this season while making the Clasico fun again.
