JOSE RULES OUT ENGLAND ROLE

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has said that he is not interested in taking the England job after it has been rumoured that he is one of the contenders for the job amongst the English FA ranks.

José Mourinho was one of the favourites to take over from Steve McClaren the last time the opportunity opened up, but the then out of work Mourinho, did not take the job. Hence, the English FA are not considering him seriously this time around, as José Mourinho is currently managing one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Even though there have been reports that he is set to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, the former Chelsea manager dismissed speculation linking him with the England job.

One of the reasons for José Mourinho to be linked with the England job is the recent house hunting by the Portuguese manager in London. However, José Mourinho has many times said that he believes that the international teams should be coached by the managers from the respective regions. He also has said that managing the Portugal national team will make him a complete man, although he is not ready for such a job as of now.

“There is no way Jose will coach England. He loves the football in England but there is no chance of this at all. What he wants is a club,” a close friend told The National. José Mourinho is looking to capture the Spanish league title for the first time in three seasons. They are currently the leaders in the Spanish la Liga, and hold a significant 10 point advantage over Barcelona. Even though Real Madrid are yet to play Barcelona at the Camp Nou – where they have lost numerous times in recent seasons, Real Madrid are the favourites for the title.
