Jose Mourinho, who was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur on Monday is in the running to become Celtic’s next manager, the UK Sun reports.
The 28-year-old was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur, 17 months after replacing Mauricio Pochettino.
Mourinho, speaking after his dismissal, insisted he wants to find a new job as soon as possible.
According to the Portuguese who has coached Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid in the past, there is “no need for breaks”.
REVEALED: Why Tottenham Sacked Jose Mourinho
Celtic are looking for a new manager following Neil Lennon’s resignation in February. Eddie Howe is, however, still considered the front-runner to take over at the Scottish club.
Former Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, has also been linked to the job.
Tottenham Hotspur sacked Jose Mourinho as manager after just over a season and a half in charge. Tottenham are in seventh in the Premier League and at risk of missing out on a place in the top four.
Mourinho was brought in to take Tottenham to the next level, to do what Mauricio Pochettino could not do and win Tottenham a trophy.
But Spurs finished sixth in the league last year and are now seventh, with almost no chance of Champions League qualification for next season.

They are out of the Europa League and only have a Carabao Cup final on Sunday against Manchester City as a chance to win a trophy. They are further away from the elite than they were under Pochettino.
Tottenham saw Mourinho as their way to get back into the Champions League but now that is impossible, he was on borrowed time.
The club were also unhappy with Mourinho’s constant criticism of the players in public, and very conscious of how the fans had turned on Mourinho.
They knew that if the fans came back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium they would make their feelings on Mourinho very clear. That scenario has now been avoided.

Spurs also crashed out of the Europa League round of 16 last month, following a humiliating 3-0 loss in the second leg at Dinamo Zagreb.
