Jose Mourinho‘s son has taken another step towards life as a football player after signing a two-year youth team deal with Fulham.
Jose Mario Jr joined the Craven Cottage side back in 2013 when his dad returned to England for his second stint as Chelsea manager.
The 14-year-old goalkeeper had previously played with one of Real Madrid’s youth teams and must have arrived at Fulham with some decent experience.
But now the younger Jose has proven his quality and earned a two-year scholarship deal with the English Championship club.
He posted a picture of the moment he signed his contract alongside his mother on Instagram yesterday:
Imagine Jose Sr managing Jose Jr one day? Maybe for the Portuguese national team?
The 17-year-old should now join up with the Fulham Under-18 team for pre-season and prepare to stake his claim to be the club’s future number one.
He would follow in the footsteps of Mourinho’s father, who played as a goalkeeper for a number of Portuguese clubs and represented the national team once in 1972
