JOSE MOURINHO has rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi side Al-Shabab, according to reports.
The Portuguese was offered a quick route back into management after being sacked by Roma earlier this week.

Reports from the Middle East suggested that Mourinho, 60, had held “positive talks” with Al-Shabab.
But according to reporter Pedro Morata, the former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss turned down the Saudi Pro League side.
He adds, however, that Mourinho is on “stand-by” for a job that will “motivate” him.
Al-Shabab are 11th in the Saudi Pro League, having won just five of their 19 matches this term.
Their squad features former Atletico Madrid star Yannick Carrasco, Argentine veteran Ever Banega and former Wolves ace Romain Saiss.
They last won the Saudi Pro League 12 years ago and have previously been managed by Luiz Felipe Scolari.
