WATCH: Jose Mourinho makes bold predictions for upcoming UEFA Euro 2024

Jose Mourinho has already signed for Fenerbache a two-year deal. The Portuguese coach despite having linked with Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs decided to stay in Europe. The 61-year-old manager has been on holiday as he was present in the finals of the UEFA Champions League between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. He went on to witness his former club winning their 15th UCL title on Saturday at the Wembley Stadium. 

The former Madrid coach ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024 has dropped his prediction while he was in talks with TNT Sports. He has in new footage given his predictions for who he thinks will come out on top, and is backing a familiar name and revealed that he believes Portugal, his own nation, will win their second tournament in three competitions in Germany, with England falling short.

He also gave his prediction for the Ballon d'Or as well. The former Chelsea manager feels Vinicius Junior will be the winner for the Golden Ball and Jude Bellingham will be the player of the tournament for Euro 2024. Both the footballers have been amazing for the Los Blancos and helped them win the UCL and perform exceptionally. The 23-year-old scored 21 goals and picked up a further nine assists for Madrid last season, two behind Bellingham.

Mourinho drops his predictions for the Euro 2024

Explaining his decision, Mourinho says: "[A] surprise team is anyone outside of Portugal, France and England because I think these three are the favourites. For me, anyone who comes outside these three, even countries outside these with stature, like Germany [would be the surprise package]." 

He also said, Harry Kane will be the leading goal scorer for the tournament. As the English captain has been sensational in the season, however, he failed to win the trophy with Bayern Munich in his debut season with the club. He had 44 goals in 45 games for Bayern Munich across all competitions in 2023/24.
