Sacked Roma coach Jose Mourinho has opened the door to working in the Saudi Pro League.

Mourinho held talks with Al Shabab earlier this year.

He told Fabrizio Romano: "Cristiano Ronaldo opened the doors to that world in football terms. When the offer came to me it was a very important financial proposal, but I rejected it because for Roma and European football were more important to me. In the future, never say never, but at the moment I won't sign any contract because I have to make the best decision first.

"I want to start again. Sometimes when your adventure in a club ends you need to rest and think, but in this case already the day after I left the Rome club I was ready to start again. I feel good, I love the job and I'm ready, but I don't want to make the wrong choice, I can't accept a job just because I'm passionate or because I feel ready. I have to be patient, we're in March and usually It's difficult for anything to happen this month, so my goal is to start again in the summer."
